How to Eliminate Your Restlessness and Anxiety: Part 2 Practical Application

Following Part 1, this is the practical application.
For those who tried the lint remover, how was it?
Following Part 1, Part 2 is,
to put it simply, the Broom edition
.

It is sweeping the carpet with a broom.
What you need to prepare is a broom and a dustpan.
For the broom and dustpan, I recommend natural materials,
rather than nylon or plastic.

Why?
Just because (laughs).
Plus,
the appearance of a broom is beautiful.
The broom and dustpan I use are

Here they are.

I use different sizes for different purposes.


As for where to sweep, I prefer the carpet over hardwood floors.

Why?

Because the sound of sweeping on the carpet,
the "swish, swish, swish" sound, is pleasant.
By sweeping the carpet with a broom and moving from the edge of the carpet onto the floor, you can collect
fine "dust" and "dirt" that were previously invisible.

Sweep that anxiety (dust, dirt) into the dustpan with the broom,
and throw the collected anxiety into the trash can.

In this series of actions, imagine:
○ Invisible "restless" anxiety
○ Sweeping that anxiety away yourself with a "swish, swish, swish" to visualize it
○ Collecting the anxiety into a dustpan and throwing it into the trash can

Anxiety (dust, dirt) that is invisible and not visualized
can be removed by yourself
by sweeping the carpet with a broom.



I definitely recommend a broom over a vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum cleaners
are noisy with their whirring sound, and they cannot visualize anxiety.
For a restless heart, the sound of sweeping a carpet is more pleasant than that noise.
It might be good to use them differently depending on the location.

I feel that traditional Japanese tools and customs
are overflowing with things that are good
for "me," for "you,"
and for both "mind" and "body."

Seeing the collected "dust and dirt" makes you feel refreshed. Please try sweeping away your week's worth of anxiety this weekend.

If you make it a habit, you will be able to do it every day.
Sweeping with a broom is immediate, easy, and can be done without electricity.

I am going to
sweep my carpet with a broom now, so please, by all means, try it along with me.

The anxiety removal method,
practical application,
was "sweeping the carpet with a broom."
