[Introduction to Crayons]
Crayons that express your feelings.
Let's add this self-improvement to them this time.
[The self-improvement to add is here]
✅ ['Thank you' is a magic word. It changes your thought patterns]
To let your brain think freely, you must remove the mental blocks that hinder it. As a starting point for this, I would like to suggest keeping an 'open heart.' To do this, actually, the simplest and most effective way is to say the words of gratitude, 'Thank you.'
~Omitted~
Once a person's brain is bound by negative emotions, thinking becomes blocked and fixed. This is because the brain has a function to ensure you do not forget times when your heart was deeply moved. It can be said that this is the opposite state of an open heart, a state where the heart is closed.
In this way, when thinking becomes fixed due to past negative emotions, the function of the synapses that transmit information to the brain becomes patterned. As a result, you become trapped by past experiences and knowledge, making it difficult to generate new ideas.
The best way to release brain blocks is to have a feeling of gratitude and say 'Thank you.'
~Omitted~
When your heart opens up through the word 'Thank you,' the one-patterned function of the synapses changes.
The word of gratitude, 'Thank you,' connects the synapses between brain cells, and even newly created brain cells. As these connections expand, unique ideas are born, you are freed from fixed ideas and beliefs, and you become able to act according to your own honest heart.
[This is probably what would happen]
Since I was little, my favorite Pentel crayons were my substitute for words.
I'm too embarrassed to say 'Thank you' to my mom and dad.
I wish I could say it in my own words, though.
In a month, there's an art presentation at junior high school.
It suddenly came to me.
I want to draw my feelings of gratitude toward my mom and dad.
What should I draw?
Maybe I'll do the scenery of Fuji-Q Highland in Yamanashi Prefecture that we went to the other day.
I remember Dad was scared when we were about to ride Do-Dodonpa.
'No way! If I had to ride that, I'd rather get yelled at by my boss at work!!' he said.
He was speaking incredibly fast with a troubled look on his face.
It had been a long time since I laughed that hard, holding my stomach.
I decided to draw a scene of the three of us in my family sitting happily on a bench eating soft-serve ice cream.
It was a terribly rusty bench. But we sat side-by-side on that bench feeling happy.
I ate a strawberry soft-serve ice cream. I usually only ever choose vanilla, but for some reason, I felt like having strawberry at that moment.
I remember the sweet taste spreading in my mouth.
In harmony with that, the crayons danced happily. It sounded to me as if each one was saying 'thank you'.
As I drew, the words came out naturally. The words I hadn't been able to say for a long, long time since I was little: 'Mom, Dad, thank you for everything.'
It was like a dam releasing water, overflowing as the floodgates opened.
I couldn't stop it.
I presented the painting, which I finished in a week, at school.
I was awarded for the 'wonderful use of the 12-color crayon palette.'
Holding the painting and the certificate, I looked my mom and dad straight in the eyes and said this:
'Mom, Dad. Thank you for everything.'
'Thank you' is a magic word.
I cannot find any other word that makes you this happy with just a single phrase.
A magic that everyone can use: 'Thank you.' The potential of crayons and the potential of 'thank you' are both infinite.
If you were to add 'thank you' to your crayons, this is likely what would happen.
