If you value things, the way you deal with money has changed

During the decluttering boom, I threw away a lot of things.

Longing for a "life without having," I gave up things that could still be used. But for some reason, instead of being refreshed every time I threw it away, it was noisy somewhere. I felt that the identity of that feeling was understood by reading this book.

Things are alive.

Tools, clothes, tableware - they are trying to work for their owner.If you treat them with care, they will respond to you with all their might, and if you treat them poorly, things will not go well, as if they are sometimes repelled by the owner.

Reading that, I looked around the kitchen utensils. There were things that I used every day but couldn t take care of properly. I kept using worn-out dishcloths, and there were things that I forgot while pushing them in the back of the drawer.

And the same thing was written about money.

Money comes to people who want to use it for others, and if you try to use it only for yourself, it goes away like water escapes.

As a housewife who takes care of the household, it made me think a little. While desperately trying to save money, did not you see money as something scary or something lacking?

Love things, use them carefully, and move willingly for the sake of others. The accumulation of such a life may attract wealth to hand.

First of all, I renewed the kitchen dishcloth today. That alone somehow made me feel better.

... Read more私も、物を大切にする暮らし方が心やお金に与える影響を実感している一人です。以前は節約にばかり目を向けて、使う物の状態やメンテナンスをおろそかにしていました。ですが、ある時気分転換に台所の古いふきんを新しくしたところ、意外な変化を感じました。道具がきれいだと気持ちよく調理に取り組め、自然と家事も丁寧になり、心の余裕が生まれたのです。 さらに、お金についても、ただ貯めるだけでなく、必要なところに喜んで使うことの大切さを実感しています。例えば家族や友人へのちょっとした贈り物や、生活を快適にする物への投資は、自分にも周囲にも豊かさの循環を生み出しました。 物は確かに「生きている」と感じる瞬間があり、丁寧に扱うことが物にも自分にも良い影響をもたらすと思います。物を粗末に扱うとトラブルが続いたり、気持ちが落ち着かなかったりすることもありますね。 それに、お金との付き合い方も見直しました。怖がったり無理に絞ったりするのではなく、感謝の気持ちを持ってお金を使うことが、結果的にお金の流れを良くしてくれます。 日々の暮らしの中で、小さな道具に感謝し、適切に手入れしながら大切に使い続けること。お金も豊かさの一部として喜んで使い、循環させること。この積み重ねが、自分らしい「豊かな暮らし」につながると感じています。だからこそ、物もお金も、「大切にする」というシンプルだが深い考え方をもっと多くの方に共有したいと思います。
