The second half of the year is about femininity, starting with permanent earrings

Now, for the second half of the year, what should I be mindful of?

Improve the body's circulation

Things to be especially careful about during the hot season.

As written in Yuyu-san's article, improving 'circulation'.

In June, I didn't feel well, and it felt like everything was stagnant.
Especially from now on, it will get hotter, and I tend to stay in air-conditioned rooms.

I decided that in July and August, I want to be especially conscious of improving my body's circulation.

Specifically

• Go out for a walk with my husband when he leaves for work in the morning

• Yoga, light strength training

• Eat properly

Anyway, I lack exercise. So in July and August, I will be conscious of moving.

I have also had severe anemia in the past. Eating properly is also important.

Nurture femininity

It is said that both men and women possess both femininity and masculinity.

Femininity is

Acceptance
Harmony
Empathy
Feeling

Such inner strength of the heart

Masculinity is

Decision-making
Competition
Responsibility
Control
Ability to take action

These are examples of outward-facing energy.

As you can tell from the fact that I have been suppressing my emotions, I feel like I have lived my life with a masculine-dominant mindset.

I thought everyone around me was an enemy, I was constantly in a state of fighting and competition, gritting my teeth and working hard, thinking I had to be strong without relying on others. I suppressed my emotions and was always in a state of tension.

It felt like I was always on a battlefield.

I am tired.

When the only adults I had as role models were my mother and father, I may have adopted my father's way of living.

I am overwhelmingly lacking in femininity.

First, I will try not to suppress what I am feelingand try not to deny or drown out my own small inner voice.

Those around me are allies—I want to trust that, and be able to rely on others and show my weaknesses.

And I want to have a heart that is relaxed and accepting, being flexible and graceful without pushing myself too hard.

Ideally, it seems desirable to have a balance between both, where you realize what you have felt with your feminine heart using your masculine ability to take action.

I had been skipping the part about feeling things. I will start here.

Let's start with the form

I used to like dangling earrings, but they would get caught on my mask or click against my earphones, so I haven't worn them much lately. So, I bought the earrings I found in this article!

They say it's fine to leave them on even when bathing or sleeping. The price is also reasonable.

These are the two items I bought

For the spiral one, it's been a while since I wore earrings, so it's hard to put in! I don't think I can leave this one in permanently. It seems like it would get caught when taking off clothes or drying off with a towel.

For the circle one, it clicks shut into a ring, so I won't have to worry about it flying off when I dry my head with a towel. It doesn't stick out either, so it should be fine for sleeping. I'll try leaving this one in for a while.

Summary

Things I want to be conscious of in the second half of the year are

• improving body circulation

• being conscious of femininity

Broadly speaking, these are the two points
