Because it's a new life, let's take it easy

I'm Yasu, and I'm extremely sensitive to changes in my environment. Thank you for reading today as well.


I'm running a project to try posting every day for 66 days. Anyone can participate. However, if you miss even one day of posting, you'll be kicked out of the magazine. (Wait, what?!)

The daily update streak continues. There are now 34 people running along with me in this posting challenge! Everyone, you're amazing for writing!


If you find it hard to keep going on your own, I'll run with you.

Some people are starting a new life in April. Others are continuing their daily lives without any particular changes. Well, there are all sorts of situations. I wonder if there are many students or new employees among the note user age group. Or maybe it's just that there are few people in their teens and 20s around me.


The cherry blossom season makes my heart leap. A new life is exciting. However, there are times when your living environment changes drastically, and I think that's quite stressful. It's hard to notice, but it puts a burden on your heart.


People try to maintain the status quo as much as possible. They want today to be the same as yesterday. Instinctively, we don't like new challenges or changes in our environment. In a new life, this happens forcibly. There's no avoiding it.


But that can also be something to look forward to, or a mix of nervousness, anxiety, and excitement. The pink of cherry blossoms can bewilder people, can't it? (Suddenly sounding like a poet).


Mentally, there is a burden.
We don't notice it.


That is precisely why I recommend taking actions that allow you to relax.


◆Take a long, warm bath

When it comes to relaxation time, it's the bath. Instead of just taking a shower, try taking a long soak. Let your body relax slowly and deeply. You could also use aroma in the bath. I think I've seen candles for that. It's also nice to turn off the lights in the bathroom and use only the candlelight.


◆Try taking a walk

Light exercise has a good effect on the body and brain (or so they say). It refreshes me. Running is fine too, but walking might have a lower barrier to entry. As you walk along, your thoughts become clearer.


◆Post a diary

People who get busy from April will be chased by time. Things you were able to do before might become impossible. Perhaps even on note, people who were able to write before might find they can't anymore.

That's why I suggest keeping a diary. You don't have to write a lot. Just write down the day's events and your thoughts. I wish I had done this myself back in the day. It's a memory of a shining life. I think it would be interesting to read back later.

You won't be able to remember how you felt at that time later on. Feelings of anxiety and anticipation fade as time passes.

Leave it in a diary to etch the memories. Keep the word count reasonable so that writing doesn't become a chore.


Thank you for coming to read today as well. Even for those without daily changes, being conscious of a new life might be a bit stimulating.
