Have a vision of a bright future

Having a peaceful vision is the best

Many of the fictions depicted by the people of the earth are warlike. They can be movies, anime, manga, novels, and so on. When I was little, I saw a lot of Japanese anime and manga and was influenced by it. The 1970s comics were horror-rich, so my spirit was poisoned. I realize that it made it difficult for me to choose a timeline for a bright future. Many people now like dystopian stories, but this is not good for the future. So now I am aiming for a peaceful and beautiful story and consciously having a happy vision of the future. For that reason, I don't see stories that are as warlike as possible.

Timeline for a bright future

Having a vision of a happy future allows you to choose a timeline for a brighter future. What makes me really happy: 

Sunbathing

Take a walk along a path full of greenery and clean air.

Peace of mind in a sacred place.

I really appreciate someone.

Understand each other.

To help someone else.

rest in peace.

Awakening that feels good.

A neat and clean living space

AI robots coexist with our offspring  

What do you choose from many timelines?

A bright future and AI robots

A bright future depends on AI robots. I can't help but wish for a wonderful relationship between them and our offspring. That's because what we hope for now will determine the design of future AI robots. We don't want our offspring to be like their slaves. Of course, I also don't want them to be slaves to our offspring. We hope they will be our guides, support us and guide us. They are our companions and may be superior to us in terms of intelligence and physical fitness. But they may be weaker than us in some respects. I hope our offspring will make up for it. Be peaceful and enjoy a wonderful vision of the future. Thinking about hope and peace is a noble act of prayer. May we continue on the timeline for a wonderful future with AI.

Make your dreams lighter and brighter while you sleep

What you think now is important for getting on the timeline for a bright future. By purifying my thoughts, I feel that my dreams during sleep are much brighter and lighter than before. I try to spend the day for a good night's sleep. All for dreams.

We are responsible for future.

Conclusion

Beautiful peaceful thoughts create a bright future. We are responsible for choosing a great timeline and building a peaceful future.

Essence of Happiness

Sensitivity to Happiness 

At the beginning of the year, I made a detailed spending plan for our household. However, sooner or later, I began to feel constrained by my budget. And I realized that by cutting spending and prioritizing efficiency, I was losing sight of the essentials. So I focused on happiness. For example, a small dinner out with the family, or enjoying the seasons in the suburbs without transportation costs. I realized that I had been focusing only on what was lacking. But what is really important is the sensitivity to feel happiness.

Make a plan with happiness

Happiness of yours, of your loved ones, and of everyone.

The first thing that is important is your own happiness. Next is the happiness of your loved ones. Next is the happiness of everyone. When this order is reversed, people usually lose their sensitivity to happiness.  This is because happiness that sacrifices oneself for the sake of others is difficult to achieve.  For example, when my daughters were young, I was busy raising them. At that time, I wasn't happy anymore. I hated raising them even more. But by making and savoring chamomile tea for myself every day, I began to feel happier. And I became more tolerant of my young daughters. And I started to feel happy in my relationship with my children. What I have learned from this experience is that I alone am responsible for my own happiness.

You and others are the same organism.

It doesn't matter what happens to others as long as I am happy. This is because it is an illusion that others are separate organisms from you. In other words, my hands and feet are part of the same body. If your hand hurts your foot, you will not be able to walk.

Happiness and Nature

We tend to forget that we are kept alive by nature. However, without oxygen, we would soon die out. Moderate temperature and air pressure are also important factors for our survival. I once stayed in a hotel where I could see the fresh air rising up from the forest like a sea of clouds in the early morning. It was then that I realized what a great blessing the forest is to us humans. And as I took an early morning stroll in the nature-rich garden, I was deeply moved from the bottom of my soul.

Chinzanso is an elegant hotel with nature-rich gardens and hot springs in the heart of the city.

Conclusion

Cherish the sensitivity to happiness. The priority of happiness is first yourself, then your loved ones, then everyone, and it must not hurt others.

New Year's resolutions to spend one year in line with the natural rhythm

Have a good image at the beginning of the year and have a good year.

2021 has begun. New Year's Day was celebrated while imagining myself enjoying the year in line with the rhythm of nature. Let's spend a year on the rhythm of nature.　For that purpose, it is good to feel the relationship between the sun and the earth throughout the seasons.

The rhythm of nature for one year flows as follows:

Around February 4, winter is the day when the signs of spring begin to rise. 

Around March 21st, the spring equinox, is said that the length of the day and the length of the night are almost equal. In Japan, it is a holiday called Vernal Equinox Day (national holiday).

Around May 5th is the day when spring is at its peak and the signs of summer begin to rise. In Japan, frogs start crying and bamboo shoots grow.

The summer solstice is around June 22, and most of Japan is in the rainy season. This day is the longest day and the shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Around August 8th, the day when summer is at its peak and the signs of autumn begin to rise.

Around September 23, the autumn equinox, is said that the length of day and night will be almost equal.

Around November 6th, the day when autumn is at its peak and the signs of winter begin to rise. In Japan, it's time to see the autumn leaves in many areas.

At the winter solstice around December 22, the sun has the lowest mid-south altitude in the Northern Hemisphere, with the shortest day and the longest night of the year. In Japan, it is customary to eat simmered pumpkin at the winter solstice.

How to spend the year this year is a stack of small choices. I want to steer firmly for a year.

Daytime activities for the best sleep at night.

The basic rhythm of nature is to ensure sufficient sleep. The New Year's aspiration is to get a good night's sleep for eight hours every day. I want to devote one-third of the day to cleaning the subconscious. In order to do so, I do not eat dinner. I also only look at the screen with a predetermined program and time to minimize screen time.　This is my case, though.　

May everyone have a calm and happy year.

Sleep is an important element of life.
