Clear mind, rich heart, light body.

Hello, I'm Machino☀️

Thank you for stopping by this space☺️

I'm going to write a relaxed story this time as well. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Clear mind, rich heart, light body.”

This is the concept of this space, 'Machino the Sentimentalist'.

Since I started posting on note last September, I have quietly displayed these words in my profile header,

and for those who read my work,

hoping that a mind that felt a bit foggy might become a little clearer,

that a heart that felt worn down might become richer,

and that a body that felt heavy might feel a little lighter,

I have secretly tucked those thoughts into the stories I write.

And these words also represent how I personally aspire to be.

Keep the mind clear,

keep the heart rich,

keep the body light.

To create and maintain these three states,
there is a keyword that is indispensable to me.

That is“simple”.

When I significantly reduced my possessions five years ago, I learned about the way of life called a “simplist,”pursuing both comfort and richness through simple thinking, and I was drawn to that philosophy.

Although I have never formally declared myself as such to the outside world, I have continued to think and organize my life while keeping the philosophy of a “simplist” within me.

“Simple” is one of the important guiding principles for me.

I want to use the approach of “making things simple” and “being simple” to keep my mind clear, my heart rich, and my body light.

Driven by that desire, I repeat the process of thinking and taking action in my daily life.

By simplifying how I think about what is in front of me to eliminate complexity, and creating a situation where I can see things as they are, I clear my mind.

By simply organizing my way of being and my mindset to eliminate clutter, and creating a situation where I can truly cherish what is important, I enrich my heart.

By simplifying the relationship between my inner self and my outer self to eliminate contradictions, and creating a situation where I can act honestly, I lighten my body.

Even though I sometimes fail or find things don't suit me when I try them, I feel that the process of trial and error itself is very interesting.

Since starting note, I have come to write down the things I have actually realized and noticed through that process, and keep them in this space.

With the concept of "Clear mind, rich heart, light body," I decided to write content that is more familiar and closer to daily life for my readers, which led to the two themes of "Machino the Emotionalist": "How to have a comfortable relationship with yourself" and "Spending your days with a rich heart".

"How to have a comfortable relationship with yourself" involves re-examining my emotions, thoughts, and actions, and finding ways to get along with them well, thereby "clearing my mind, enriching my heart, and lightening my body."

"Spending your days with a rich heart" involves focusing on wonderful things, people, and the small events of each day, allowing me to face the world in front of me again from the perspective that "there are many things, but this world is a good place after all," and thereby "clearing my mind, enriching my heart, and lightening my body."

This space, 'Machino of the Emotionalist,' is something I create with the hope that by writing in my own words as an 'emotionalist' and a 'simplist,' those who read it might feel a little more comfortable and lighthearted.

If we could spend this moment, this day,

with a 'clear mind, a rich heart, and a light body,'

and if we could build upon that little by little,

our days would become much more comfortable.

We can each do that on our own, but I think it would be wonderful if we could do it while walking through our days together.

That is why my small goal right now is to grow this space together with all of you into a place where we can move forward with warm hearts.

This time, I tried writing a piece to share what this space, 'Machino of the Emotionalist,' is all about.

I hope to continue writing pieces that make all of you who read them feel comfortable and lighthearted, just as I always have.

May today be a comfortable and warm day for you as well ☀️
