The daily notes written by an entrepreneur in their 50s were a sensor for my physical and mental well-being.

A comment I received on yesterday's article.

In my reply, I wrote, 'While it may look steady, I am actually bumping into corners here and there, and being comforted by Rira-chan the rabbit (lol).'

If it looks 'steady,' that is truly nothing more than a 'trick of the moment.'

Especially since I started calling myself an 'entrepreneur' and began the membership 'Terakoya for Words and Writers,' I have been spending quite a lot of days in trial and error, wandering back and forth (lol).

And rather than carefully crafting a 'strategy,' for now, it is a 'try it first' strategy.

I am in a state of creating the form as I go, starting off half-cocked with the new SNS 'Substack' and the audio distribution 'stand.fm' that I am about to begin.

And if there is any time to think about strategy, it might be the time I spend writing these notes.

Writing notes is, for me, a 'fixed-point observation of my thoughts.'

I pour out what is swirling around in my head onto the white screen of the note. As I look at the text and articles that appear, I feel like I am observing myself from a bird's-eye view.

When I face the words on the screen, I start to see them as if they were someone else's, thinking, 'Oh, I see. This is how I am feeling,' or 'This is what I am interested in after all.'

And then, I dive into the next swirl of thoughts. It might be that kind of cycle.

I also feel that this way of moving forward is more interesting than deciding on a perfect strategy from the beginning and walking along with that roadmap.

This is because my experience so far has taught me that the journey is more fun along the way than reaching the goal.

And one important thing.

I believe that 'my own survival strategy' also includes the important element of how not to overdo it.

While I am excited about new challenges, I do not choose methods that exceed my capacity and wear me out both physically and mentally.

In fact, one standard is 'whether I can write a note every day' and 'whether I can come up with things to write.'

When I am under pressure or stress, my emotions and thoughts stop. If my heart and head do not move, naturally, 'words' will not come out either.

While using my daily notes as a strategy meeting and a sensor for my physical and mental well-being, I plan to enjoy my journey as a first-year entrepreneur while going through some trial and error and stumbling around for a while.
