【Life Hacks and the Practice of Tanka】15 Ways to Improve Self-Esteem
In our daily lives, we use brain resources when we are conscious of tasks or what we should be doing at any given moment.
However, those resources are limited, and when we exceed those limits, our work performance declines.
The capacity of those resources is called cognitive resources.
In daily life, it seems that we are overusing these cognitive resources, leading to increased stress.
To avoid wasting cognitive resources, it is important to reduce the number of things you have to do (^^)
To that end, it is said that it is good to categorize your massive to-do list into the following three categories.
■ "Do now" to-do list
■ "Do soon" to-do list
■ "Do someday" to-do list
It would be great if you could make these habits, but to save cognitive resources and reduce mental distress, it is important to establish the following three things, so please try to be conscious of them.
① Reduce the number of things you have to do as much as possible
② Reduce the number of things you need to remember (prospective memory) as much as possible
③ Ensure you complete only your routine work
However, since it is important to use life hacks that suit you, I think you should choose the methods that are easiest for you rather than trying to fit yourself into what is presented (^^)
Now, for those who want to think about what life hacks are,
"You who read me, are you sure you understand my language?" (from J.L. Borges' "The Library of Babel")
I will introduce concrete examples of hacks combined with the practice of Tanka, which I think could be called the repetition of presenting a way of life in the first person (self-making). Are you driven toward a daily world where such (hack-like) ways of living are considered desirable?
Please check it out (^^)
1. Tell the truth
2. Remember that you are the one who chooses
3. Seek deeper self-awareness
4. Respond with emotion
5. Stop blaming and avoid making immediate value judgments
6. Do not intentionally hurt others
7. Take time to visualize the person you want to become
8. Be conscious of and change the assumptions that limit you
9. Assert yourself
10. Be as sincere and open-minded as possible
11. Connect with your body and its wisdom
12. Seek a more meaningful and higher purpose in your life
13. Treat your growth, liberation, and spiritual life with respect, excitement, and patience, rather than judgment or fear
14. Give, and give again
15. Laugh a little
Listening well, responding, apologizing, and being forgiven, I have become such a person
(from Katsutoshi Washima's "Utatori")
Listening to 'The Swan of Tuonela' over and over again; the sun passes, the moon passes
(from Osabumi Matsudaira's "Tuonela")
A man with a head cold, looking at plum blossoms, a man with time to spare—am I a man worthy of being loved?
(from Yukinori Shimada's "no news")
As if unclenching my tightly gripped fingers one by one, I want to lose my voice, my name, and my shadow
(from Mikako Yokoyama's "Mizu o Hiraku Te")
Spreading out a blue cloth as if there is nothing there—isn't that fine? A lake in the mountains
(from Matsuo Watanabe's "Makino Shokubutsuen")
I woke up after taking off a thousand T-shirts; come quickly, Grand Pas Jung
(from Soko Kitagawa's "Stew Nabe no Tenshi")
"Half of the remaining life must be spent in sleep, in the deep gloom of ancient cedars"
(from Sumiyuki Shigaki's 'Yushi')
"The world seen from within a Noh mask is narrow and thin; it tells me to walk straight ahead"
(from Mikako Umeuchi's 'Shinju-so')
"Since the deer also sleep upon the young grass, goodnight Ashura, goodnight Karura"
(from Yoko Nagai's 'Temari-uta')
"Well, it's fine if you just stay there; the flowering quince and I are blooming in relief, somehow"
(from Yoko Kotani's 'Yamamayu' No. 56)
"Feeling pathetic after being shown half-hearted kindness, I sink my body into the hot water"
(from Takashi Sotozuka's 'Kashu')
"Lost in thought, I stand still on the winter field path, where a single stake with no purpose stands"
(from Keiichiro Okabe's 'Midori no Haka')
"Watching the roots of the hyacinth grow, 'honesty' can be written with just straight lines"
(from Itsu Tsuruta's 'Hyakunen no Nemuri')
"The flames of this year's welcoming fire are clear, and something lonely burns within the fire"
(from Yu Naruse's 'Ryuri-den')
"On the way back to the ocean, the water turns into wine and draws near to me"
(from Tatsutomo Omatsu's 'School Night')
