Project | Please tell us about the things or experiences that made your heart or life feel lighter: "#ThingsIGladlyLetGo"

This is my first project.
I am very nervous.

I've wanted to try hosting a project for a while now!
Since I'm using the note platform, I want to expand that circle and share it with everyone.

■ Project Theme: "#ThingsIGladlyLetGo"

Things, experiences, assumptions, or grudges that you are glad you let go of

The subject can be anything. It could be a record of decluttering, a change in mindset, mental shifts, personal relationships, or work-related matters.

Please tell us about something that changed for the better because you let it go, such as "feeling lighter in your heart" or "making your life more comfortable."
My life's purpose is to help everyone live a richer and more brilliant life by "supporting the organization of your daily life." Your experience of "being glad you let go" might just be the catalyst that changes someone else's life.

I will add the submitted articles to a dedicated magazine as they come in!

■ Application Requirements

1: Please include the hashtag "#ThingsIGladlyLetGo"

Once you add "#ThingsIGladlyLetGo" to your article, it will be counted as an entry.
(I would appreciate it if you could cite this article, as it makes it easier for me to find <(_ _)>)

2: Please keep it non-fiction.
Please share your real experiences in your own words, to the extent that you are comfortable doing so✨

3: Content, word count, and number of articles are not restricted.
As long as it is non-fiction, it can be novel-style, essay-style, comedy-style, or anything else! There is no word count limit. You can introduce several things in one article, or you can write multiple separate articles. I look forward to many episodes♪

4: Please agree to sharing.
Articles will be added to the note magazine as they come in. In addition to sharing on note, I would also like to introduce them on other social media such as Twitter✨

Also, although I don't have concrete plans yet, I intend to write several Kindle books this year, so I might quote your episode at that time (I will contact you individually if that happens. Please rest assured that your consent is not mandatory).

5: We will provide a "Special Award" (for followers only).
Since you are taking the time to participate in this project, I want to provide a special benefit!

Therefore, I would like to present a "Special Award" to those whom I personally find wonderful and want many people to read!Special AwardI would like to present this!

I don't know how many entries I will receive yet, so it is undecided whether there will be one award or several, but I will provide a small prize in the form of support.

Since I would like to use whether you understand the intent of the project as one of the criteria, I am sorry, but I would like to choose from among my followers.
Those who followed me because of this project are also very welcome! Also, if you follow me after applying, it is fine as long as it is within the application period!

■ Application Period

The application period is

January 11, 2022 (Thursday) to March 11, 2022 (Friday)

until.

There are two months.
Even if you start decluttering from now, you will surely make it in time with plenty of room to spare!

This hashtag itself will be added to the magazine as needed even outside the application period once you write it (if I happen to overlook it, please let me know...!)

I believe that enriching the magazine will surely lead to a richer life, so there might be an opportunity to recruit with the same theme again.

Please feel free to join in!

■ My "Things I'm glad I let go of" are...

By the way, something I've recently realized I'm glad I let go of is...

the "assumption" that "what if I get mocked?"

"I don't own a single designer bag, maybe my mom friends will mock me."
"This item is hard to use, but it's trending. If I don't have it, maybe I'll be mocked on social media."

Furthermore, regarding the online lessons I recently started. I was taught in a consultation that I should list many dates for the sake of my students, but...

"Even though I've listed so many dates, they aren't booked up. What if I get mocked for being 'unpopular'?"

This emotion surfaces immediately!
I'm surprised by it myself!

But think about it carefully.
Are the relationships connected through those "things" really that important?
Why bother holding onto people who would mock you through "things"?

Even if a stranger mocks you because your schedule isn't full, so what?

The reason I list dates is to make it easier for those interested in taking my class to plan ahead, thinking, "Oh, they have a class on this day, maybe I'll come when my shift is set."

And I don't actually have such high pride that I'm afraid of being mocked. Perhaps, because I grew up in an environment where I "had to be capable," I had a strong fear of being inferior to others.

Even though I'm actually full of things I can't do.

Honestly, nothing is lost if you get mocked.
If anything, maybe better relationships will remain.

I'm full of things I can't do. But when I acknowledged that about myself, my heart felt lighter.

People challenge themselves, fail, and then grow. And everyone has different values, ways of thinking, and appearances; none of these are things that should be mocked. I am working hard now to create relationships and work environments where we can respect one another.

Exactly! So it's okay! Any kind of article is fine!

It's fine even if it's your first time participating in a project. Silence is also perfectly fine! If you add the hashtag, I'll quietly come and read it.
For those who just started note and want many people to read their work, those who haven't been able to say it until now but want to talk about it on this occasion, and those who think they might try tidying up with this chance, you are all very welcome! Thank you in advance!
