“What is your ideal way of working and lifestyle?” Happy Writing Marathon #16

An ideal lifestyle—.
Actually, I think I am living in a state that is quite close to my ideal.

This has to do with the fact that from a certain point on, I decided to act on the thought:
“If I’m going to live like that someday anyway,why not make it a reality ‘starting now’ instead of waiting for the future?””
I decided to move forward with that mindset.

Traveling freely.
Meeting friends while traveling.
Enjoying hotel stays.
Continuing to stand on stage.
Staying happy and healthy as a couple.
And doing work that can run parallel to that kind of life.

The me of today is on that trajectory.

However,
while thinking about this prompt, I realized that not everything has been fulfilled.

Perhaps it is because a certain perspective was missing.

There are two major things that haven't been fulfilled.

Work style and money.
And,housing.

Work style and money

Until now, income would come in from unexpected places, or my husband, who was a company employee, would support me, but

my husband retired this summer.

“If we cut down on unnecessary expenses, we can live without any particular hardship,” my husband says.
But I—still have things I want to do.

Attending stage rehearsals for something all year round, getting on planes, staying in hotels, and earning my own money to make what I want to do a reality.

It is an ideal that is right there, but one I haven't yet realized.

Housing

The house I live in now is a detached house that I realized in my 20s through an unexpected connection, in a place I had wished to live since I was a child.
It was my ideal home, small though it was, in a convenient location in the city center.

However, due to urban planning, I will have to move out before long.
I have an image of my next ideal home, but real estate prices are soaring right now...

“Is it okay to stay like this? Can we really move?”—I spend my days carrying that anxiety.

What my husband and I are talking about is, first of all, “tidying up our current home”.

We think that as we reduce our belongings and make it a “small but happy home,” the next ideal home might naturally be drawn to us.

To make ideals a reality

Ideals do not get closer just by “wishing” for them.
You must reset your reality, change your habits, and act by overcoming resistance.

There are many things I have known I should do but haven't, or things I have put off saying “it doesn't have to be now”.
But there are also things I have managed to change properly.

The difference is “whether I had the strong will to make it a habit”.
So next time, I'm sure it will be fine.

I will continue to evolve my ideal lifestyle.
What is the “ideal you want to realize starting now” for you?
