365 Days of Feeling Happy and Grateful ~Day6-10~

Day 6: Close your eyes before and after you eat.

In Japan, we say "いただきます (itadakimas)" before we eat to thank nature, life, farmer, fisher, cook... for the food. We say "ごちそうさま (gochisousama)" when finishing eating to express thanks again. I really like these concepts.
Just take a moment, close your eyes, and feel this special event that keeps us connected to the world :)




Day 7: Have a morning walk :)

"No! I don't have time in the morning! I have to sleep!"
OK, but you can find one day just to wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual, right? You can't imagine how beautiful you feel the morning is. Just 15 minutes earlier than usual. Just one day, maybe on weekends :)
"Well, yeah, someday."
If you can do it someday, do it tomorrow morning! Or this coming Saturday! I promise that day will be WONDERFUL.




Day 8: Read books that you've been interested in :)

Many people have desires to learn more about what they are interested in; however, they usually dont' follow through. Well, reading books is an easy and fun start for your learning. It's fun because you're interested in that area! :)
Go to a bookstore or a library, and get a book in your band! Then, you just had the first and prospective steps!




Day 9: This day is for my poem :)



Day 10: Change your viewpoint.

Everyday, we see what we always see. Trees, cars, people, buildings... We feel that we see the same things; however, if we change our viewpoint (from where we look), we'll notice something new even when we're looking at the same thing. How cats see the world? What's under a bench?
