This difference makes a big impact.

Hello, I'm Maru.

Through my experience of changing from being super negative, I share the secrets to living comfortably and how to find your true self.

"I can't enjoy anything I do..."

We all have times like that, don't we?

When I was struggling with my mental health,
even when I was eating delicious food
or listening to comedy,
my heart would still feel heavy.

"Maybe I should just become mentally stronger?"

I thought that,
and I even spent time
reading nothing but self-help books at home.

But in the end, I remained unwell.

I wondered how to make my heart feel better
for the longest time,
but there is one thing that is clearly different
from back then.

My body is healthy now.

My physical stamina is completely different.

The best example is children.

Children don't just stay cooped up at home
reading books all the time, do they?

They run around outside,
play with friends,
say "I'm hungry!" and eat,
and at night they say "I'm tired" and go to sleep.

Watching my nephews made me realize
that this is the cycle of vitality.

Children are truly grateful beings who remind us
of things we have forgotten.

Eat things that make your body happy,
exercise in moderation,
meet people and talk,
and get a good night's sleep.

If you can, try to be particular about your bedding.

I choose things that are perfect for me,
like the texture and the weight.

When I get into bed,
if I can feel "I'm so happy,"
that alone helps me drift off to sleep comfortably.

Rather than complicated methodologies,
if you try doing things that boost your life force,
your heart will become healthier than you think.

They say that "illness starts in the mind," but
the mind and body are connected, aren't they?

So, instead of only thinking about making your mind feel better,
try approaching it from the body.

When the body becomes healthy,
the mind also becomes healthy, and
when the mind is healthy,
the body also becomes healthy.

It's surprisingly
effective!

Please give it a try.
