to mindfulness
Spend the long autumn nights.

 
In the previous Wellness Journal, "What is a Wellness Lifestyle?" were you able to see it?
 
If you try to live a wellness lifestyle, you should feel comfortable in your mind and body.
From now on, please try to incorporate it consciously.
 
In this Issue 02, we will unravel the word "mindfulness" that you need to know to deepen your wellness lifestyle, and introduce tips on how to spend your time mindfully. .
 

Mindfulness is heart health

Mindfulness refers to the health of the heart, while wellness refers to the pursuit of a rich state of mind and body.
 
What is mindfulness
Focus your attention on the present moment, not on the past or future.・And accept the reality as it is, without judging what is good or bad.
 
It also leads to the idea of valuing the present.
 
Without realizing it, we tend to forget to rest our minds.
 
By focusing your attention on the "now" moment, let go of the thoughts that come up and consciously improve from the stress state.
 
The SOS of the heart is harder to notice than the SOS of the body.
It is very important to be conscious of the care of the heart as well as the care of the body.
 

Prepare your heart and body,
how to spend the night

Here are some ways to get into a state of mindfulness that you can start today.
 
that is, “Treasure what you feel with your five senses” That's it.
For example, ・Enjoy the scent you feel now
・Stop eating while eating and savor it well
・Look at pictures of scenery that makes you feel “comfortable”
・Close your eyes in the bath and listen to the sound of flowing water.
・Feel the weight of your body as you rest your body on the bed
 
Would you like to make time to be conscious once a day?
The important thing is to put your heart into it and cherish the moment.

As autumn deepens, the nights seem longer.
With the hot summers behind us and the cold winters behind us, this is the perfect time to try something new and make some lifestyle changes.
 
Why don't you find a way to feel comfortable and easy to incorporate, and make a habit of taking care of your heart?
 
HAPPY MIND HAPPY LIFE.
 

Editor's Note/Writer Mai Shiratori

What I'm using this autumn as a way to use my mindfulness time is
Going to a public bath in the neighborhood. After soaking in the hot water to relieve the fatigue of the day, walk back to your home at a slower pace than usual.
Listening to the voices of insects at night and feeling the scent of fragrant rhinoceros, you will arrive at the time when your body has cooled down.
You can reset your heart by enjoying the time you go to the public bath without the purpose of going to the public bath.

I hope you are all enjoying the long autumn nights.
