How I, a former seminar junkie, learned to get my life in order without going anywhere
"I want to do it properly, but I can't keep it up"
・I learn things but can't change
・I don't have time to do it
・I have the motivation but can't keep it up
That was me, and what I arrived at was
the
"Way to get in order for people who can't do things properly".
✔ Can be done in 10 seconds each
✔ It's okay even on days you can't try hard
✔ A way to get in order for those who can't keep it up
A story about how I started to get in order once I "stopped trying to do it properly"
✴︎
I wanted to change properly
and I had learned properly, but
before I knew it,
I was back to how I was before
Does that ever happen to you?
✴︎
I started yoga,
participated in body workshops,
learned fasting,
got exercise certifications,
and learned lymph care and chiropractic care.
Before I knew it,
I had invested about 1 million yen
in myself.
At those times, I always thought,
"This time, I'll do it properly."
✴︎
But you know,
surprisingly,
it never lasts.
Daily health management and support for my eldest daughter with a disability
and my sons who have seizures,
plus
housework,
and taking care of my youngest daughter, who has a large age gap from her siblings,
my own time was not just put on the back burner,it was practically non-existent.
There were times when I got sick from stressand resting my own body
became the top priority.
✴︎
I have the desire to do it.
And yet,
I can't do it,
I can't keep it up,
and things just fizzle out.
This cycle,
I couldn't do a single thing
properly.
✴︎
Among those reading this,
are there people like this?
・I've learned things but can't keep them up
・I don't have time to do them
・I have the motivation but it goes nowhere
If you thought this was "about you,"
please read on
a little bit.
✴︎
You know,
I realized something one day.
That the reason I can't keep it up
is because I try to "do it properly."
I was trying to do 100
of what I had learned 100 percent.
That's why it was impossible.
So, what did I do?
Out of 100,
I decided to "do at least 1."
And what's more,
I don't do it properly.
Loosely,
sloppily is fine.
Just don't quit
For example,
stretching for just 10 seconds while doing your skincare,
or regulating your breathing while brushing your teeth.
That much is enough.
✴︎
With that kind of
casual approach of
whether you did it or not,
if you just keep going without quitting,
the scattered knowledge
will slowly start to connect,
and before you know it,
you'll have created a way to find balance
that you can do without straining yourself, thinking, 'I can do this.'
That is
"Iyu Yoga Ofuzamatto"
It's nothing special.
"Essence for gentle balance"
on days when you can't try hard
If I had kept thinking,
"I have to do this properly,"
I'd probably still be
・Satisfied with just learning
・Forgetting things without ever doing them
・Looking for something new again
I think I would have been in that loop.
This is,
even though you're spending time and money,
the most wasteful state, isn't it?
That's exactly why
I want to share this.
What's needed to change
isn't new knowledge,
but a "form you can continue."
You don't have to do it properly.
Just a little bit is fine.
But, don't quit.
Just with that,
people really do change.
✴︎
I hope this reaches people
who, like me back then,
think, 'I can't keep anything up.'
✴︎
I'm sure right now
there are people who thought, 'I might want to try that,'
and people who thought, 'No, but I won't be able to keep it up.'
I want it.
I was like that for a long time too,
so I understand that feeling well.
✴︎
That's why,
in Iyu Yoga Ofuzamatto,
I write a bit more deeply about:
・Why it's "gentle yet sustainable"
・The body and mind that actually changed
・Concrete examples of Ofuzamatto (a little extra)
If you're curious about
how I found balance
while remaining the "me who can't do things properly,"
take a look.
I've written it gently,
so you don't just finish by reading it,
but can incorporate it into your own life.
✴︎
And,
I wanted to make this "gentle balance"
more accessible,
in a form you can flip through easily,
so I made a small book.
📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕
"20 Essences for Gentle Balance
on Days You Can't Try Hard"
📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕📕
・10 seconds each
・Understandable with illustrations
・Just reading it makes you feel a bit better
On days when you think, "I can't do anything today,"
it's a book for
trying just one thing for now.
I'm delivering them
at real-life markets and
on Mercari.
I'd be happy if it reaches the people who need it.
Please use it not to try hard,
but to relax.
