It wasn't a very lucky day, but I'm going to stick to small habits for my body.

It's already pitch dark outside. It's only past 6 p.m., but perhaps because it's winter, the sun seems to set so quickly, making me feel even more lonely. Today, on my way home from work, I bought a lottery ticket just in case, but I blanked out for a while after realizing I'd won. Perhaps because I'm timid, I'm plagued by worries like, "Why can't I have even these little strokes of luck?" My heart feels heavy... But I feel like if I just sit here like this, my face will lose its vitality, so I'm pulling myself together and trying to focus on my small, everyday habits in my room. It's nothing grand, really. When I feel empty, it's important to take extra care of my body. For my skin, which has been chapped by the winter wind, I start by replenishing moisture with a warm cup of tea and turning on the humidifier. And since my body tends to become dry easily when I'm stressed, I make sure to double down on moisturizing after washing my face in the evening. Let's put aside the desire for a windfall and stick to these small, hands-on routines. Little by little, my skin texture improves and my feelings of emptiness fade. Even if I don't get a huge, life-changing win right away, I believe that the habits I diligently practice every night will accumulate and eventually make me shine brighter. If you're feeling down like I was today, don't worry too much, just wash off with warm water, moisturize, and give yourself a pat on the back for the evening!
