[Taking a little break today.] On a tired night, put down your phone for just 5 minutes. A "Starry Night Walk" at the end of summer 🌌
"Today is a day for a little break.
Just leave your phone and breathe deeply.
Look up at the beautiful starry sky.
Let's make this time special."
Put down your phone and try taking a deep breath.
Look up at the beautiful starry sky.
Let's make this time something special.
Look up at the night sky and take a deep breath.
End-of-summer "Starry Sky & Cool Breeze Night Walk" ~🌌👟✨
Good morning, everyone!
It's time for this week's "Taking a little break today."
This is Ami ☕✨
The Obon holidays are over, and for many, today marks the restart of daily life and work!
……I imagine that's the case for many of you, isn't it?
How are you all spending this Monday morning?
"I've fully recharged my energy over the long weekend! I'm ready to go full throttle this week!🔥"
For those who feel that way,
"Monday after the long weekend... honestly, my body feels heavy and I can't get the engine started~💦 (I'm exhausted~🫠)"
And for those who feel that way too!
This morning, too, with your favorite cold drink in hand, or perhaps a warm tea to counter the air conditioning.
Please take a relaxed look at the "little excitement for this week" that I've found for you 🎵
Well then!
The "seasonal break theme" I want to introduce this week is...
Forget the intense heat of the day and cool down your mind and body with
"A Starry Sky & Cool Breeze Night Walk at the end of summer"
~~~!🌌👟✨
🌌 A natural planetarium if you look up!
Let's enjoy the night sky in late August✨
Everyone,
have you looked up at the "night sky" lately?
Actually, from mid to late August is
a time to enjoy a summer-like starry sky.
Even after the peak of the Perseid meteor shower has passed,
if the conditions are right, you might still encounter shooting stars🌠
And in the night sky,
Vega in Lyra.
Altair in Aquila.
Deneb in Cygnus.
The familiar "Summer Triangle" formed by these three stars is also shining brightly✨
August is still hot during the day.
But when you go outside at night, there are days when the air that touches your cheeks feels a little different from the daytime.
Step out the front door.
Walk just a little bit.
Suddenly look up.
As you gaze at the quiet night sky,
"Ah, I worked hard today..."
you might think.
Don't you feel like the tension you've been holding in your body all day is slowly melting away?🥰
👟 Just 5 minutes around your neighborhood!
A recommendation for a "Starry Sky Cool Down"✨
"I want to go see the night sky, but I don't have the time to go all the way to the mountains or the sea!"
To everyone who thought that!
It's okay.
You don't have to go far♪
What Ami wants to recommend is,
"After a bath or after work, put your phone in your pocket and walk for just 5 minutes while feeling the night breeze"
!✨
The way to do it is very simple!
1. Turn off your smartphone screen 📱
Give your eyes, which have worked hard looking at screens all day,
a little rest first.
Notifications and social media can wait for just 5 minutes.
2. Put on comfortable shoes and head outside for just a little bit 👟
There is no need to walk far!
Just a quick lap around your home.
That is more than enough.
On days when you feel like, "I don't even have the energy to go outside today 🫠,"
the balcony or by the window is fine too!
What matters is not the distance, but
taking just 5 minutes away from your usual day.
3. Look up at the night sky and let out a big "Phew" 🌌
Finally, look up at the sky and exhale slowly.
"Phew..."
Everything that happened today.
Work.
Training.
Things that went well, and things that didn't.
For tonight, let's just leave them with the night sky 🌙
Even just 5 minutes can be
a trigger to switch off your mind
and realize, "It's about time to end the day."
"A small five-minute journey.
The usual road sparkles a little.
Leave things for tomorrow to the tomorrow me.
Let's entrust them to the sky tonight."
The usual road looks like it's sparkling a little.
Leave tomorrow's tasks to tomorrow's me,
and let's entrust everything to the night sky tonight.
🌙 Summary of the day
After the long weekend.
It is okay if you do not start with a perfect score right away 🍀
First, shift into first gear and start moving at your own pace.
Let's go with that ♪
And once you have made it through today.
At night, please try putting your smartphone down for just a little while and look up at the sky.
The road you always walk on.
The night sky you should always be seeing.
But, if you take a moment to look at it slowly,
"Oh, I didn't realize so many stars were visible,"
you might just make a small discovery 🌌✨
It would be wonderful if those 5 minutes could become a small recharge for tomorrow.
Let's start in first gear again this week.
I will bring you more little seasonal excitements next week too 🎵
Happy Peace!✌️✨🌸🌌👟
Every Monday morning, I also write a column called "Take a little break today."
I, Ami, deliver seasonal topics and little discoveries from everyday life along with the scent of coffee ☕✨
