When I let go of excuses, the day my heart became a little free

Housework, work, and relationships.

Too many things happen every day, don't you just mutter in your heart?

"Because I'm busy..."

It's not that I'm bad...

Today was just a bad time.

That's all natural reaction.

We housewives live full time every day, so it's only natural that there are days when we want to make excuses.

But when I came across these words, I was surprised.

99% of failures come from the habit of making excuses.

This is.

People who make no excuses succeed.

Or rather,

Successful people don t spend time making excuses.

It's a paradox, isn't it?

People often want to blame someone.

Because it's easier that way.

However, pleasure can sometimes take away our "future."

"Look at what's left rather than what's lost."

Friendship with Takehiko Inoue, who is familiar with the manga "Slam Dunk"

The words of Akira Takahashi, the former coach of the Japan national team for wheelchair basketball.

Don t count what you have lost.

Make the most of what's left. "

I think this applies to every day housewives.

"There is no time"

I have no physical strength.

you won't cooperate.

I have no money.

Counting the "no-thing list" becomes more and more painful.

But change your perspective a little bit.

You can use 10 minutes for yourself.

I have a body that can move even a little.

There is one person I can ask for.

You can save a little.

The day I found "something" like that,

My heart suddenly becomes lighter.

Looking at the cause is not to blame yourself

In the words of Mencius:

"When things go wrong,

Think of yourself as the cause. "

This is not a story of "self-responsibility,"

Perspective to reclaim the handle of life from others.

"Is there anything I can do?"

By thinking that,

You can see the "margin that can be changed by yourself."

Housewives tend to be swayed by family and work every day.

That's why, uh,

It's much easier to hold the handle of your heart by yourself.

Stop making excuses = returning freedom to yourself

Stop making excuses,

Not to push myself.

To free your mind.

For example.

"Let's clean up for five minutes today."

Walk for 10 minutes.

"Let's not be perfect, let's just see what we've done."

"Let's just do one thing we put off."

That's it.

The future starts to move a little more than yesterday.

Summary

Everyone makes excuses.

Housewives are even more difficult to make excuses.

But, uh,

If you choose a "small step" instead of an excuse, life moves forward quietly.

As they shed light on what remained.

While starting with what you can do.

Free yourself little by little.

To you today,

May a little courage reach you.

Take care of yourself.

言い訳を手放すことで心が軽くなるというのは、多くの主婦にとって共感できるテーマです。たとえば「時間がない」「体力がない」と感じることは日々の生活の中でよくありますが、これを「言い訳」として捉えずに、むしろ自分がコントロールできる範囲に目を向けることが大切です。「言い訳を手放すと、心は軽くなる」という言葉通り、自分自身の思考を変えることでストレスの元を減らし、少しずつでも前に進む力が湧いてきます。具体的な方法としては、5分だけ片づけや散歩をするなど、小さな行動を積み重ねていくこと。これにより自己効力感が高まり、忙しい日々の中でも自分を大切にする余裕が生まれます。さらに、漫画『スラムダンク』の作者井上雄彦さんとの親交でも知られる車いすバスケットボール元日本代表監督の高橋明さんの言葉「失った物を数えるな。残った物を最大限に生かせ。」は、主婦の日常においても深く心に響きます。限られた時間やエネルギーの中で“あるもの”に目を向け、それを活かす視点は、言い訳の習慣を断ち切り、心の余白を作る大きな助けになるでしょう。孟子の教えにもあるように、物事がうまくいかないときは自分に原因がないかを考えることは自己責めではなく『人生のハンドルを自分で握る』ための視点です。これにより周囲の環境に振り回されることなく、自分の選択と行動に責任を持てるようになるため、結果として心の自由へとつながります。このように言い訳をやめて小さな一歩を踏み出すことで、主婦の心は少しずつ軽くなり、自分らしい暮らしやメンタルケアにつながります。人生は完璧である必要はなく、できたことを認めることが日々を前向きに生きるカギとなります。言い訳を手放し、心の自由を手に入れたいと願う方へ、ぜひ今日からできる小さな一歩を踏み出してみてください。
