When your gears are out of alignment, this will put you in a good mood!

I previously wrote an article about how we should take care of our own moods,

and Akari-san quoted my article and started a recruitment project.

Since I am the one who wrote that article, I wanted to try putting into words how I usually spend my time in a good mood.

Thank you, Akari-san, for giving me the opportunity.

I was originally quite a negative person, and I am someone who has gradually shifted toward being positive over the last 20 years or so.

When you are negative, nothing goes well, so I remember thinking that this was not good and improving things little by little.

I spend every day in a good mood now, and I haven't felt stressed in over a decade,

but sometimes my rhythm gets thrown off when my schedule gets a bit packed.

This might just be a minor error that I could ignore,

but I don't really like it when this subtle misalignment occurs.

In a mechanical watch, if even one gear in the movement is misaligned, the whole thing stops working.

This is a millimeter-scale misalignment, but it is quite important to me, and if it is even slightly off, I can no longer receive inspiration from the universe.

I can tell immediately by my senses when things are misaligned. So, at times like that, I adjust them right away.

Now, here is the main topic.

I'll write down a few ways I keep myself in a good mood. (Since these are my own personal methods, they might not be helpful to others, but still.)

1. Drink coffee and zone out.

When something feels off, this is the first thing I do.
I really do nothing.
I might surf the web, or
pet Pu...
I'm not thinking about anything at all.
It might be close to a state of meditation.
It feels like creating a 'blank space'.

2. Listen to your favorite music slowly.

This also really helps me get back on track.
I don't listen to it while doing other things; I focus 'only' on listening to the music.

3. Write it down on paper.

This is the most powerful method.
In my life so far, there hasn't been a problem that wasn't solved by this.
Writing on paper easily and forcibly puts me in a better mood.

I've written these down quickly, but
these three are the biggest ways I put myself in a 'good mood'!!

Akari-san.
Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

If you, my followers, have your own ways of keeping yourself in a good mood, please try writing them down.

It's interesting because you'll make some fun discoveries when you put it into words like this.
