Giving up your time is like giving up your life.

Naoko Suzuki's book

"88 tips to live in a good mood from the forties" I heard a lot, but these two in particular stuck 😆

Word ①

"Giving up your own time

It's the same as giving up on life.

Making a mechanism that can be established without oneself is killing two birds with one stone.

Ever since my daughter was little, I used to be like "Wow!" when I ran out of time 🤣 So I tried to be conscious of my time alone on a regular basis ✨ That wasn't selfish ⭕️

Word 2

if you change the question to the brain

The brain begins to look for the reason.

If you think "I'm the only one," you look for the reason, and if you ask "How can I do it?," you look for what you can do. "

This is exactly 🎶

On Saturdays and Sundays, there are times when I'm the only one doing housework 😂

But before you think so, let's ask your family to "do XX" ⭕️ It's important to say it out loud 💮

The words that echoed

... Read more私も子育てや家事に追われて自分の時間を後回しにしてしまいがちでした。でも、鈴木尚子さんの言葉を読んで、少しずつ「自分時間」を作る重要性に気づきました。 特に印象的だったのは「自分がいなくても成り立つ仕組み作りは一石二鳥」という言葉です。家族と協力して役割を分担し、無理なく自分の時間を確保することで、ストレスが減り心の余裕が生まれました。例えば、週末に家事を一緒に分担する話し合いをしてみると、家族も積極的に協力してくれるようになりました。 また、「脳への質問を変える」という考え方も実践しています。ネガティブに悩むより「どうしたらできる?」という前向きな問いかけを自分に投げかけることで、解決策を自然と探せるようになりました。実際、家族にやってほしいことを具体的に伝えると、思った以上に協力が得られ、自分だけが頑張っている感覚が薄れました。 このように、自分の時間を諦めず、「響いた言葉」を日常に取り入れることで、充実感と幸福感が増している実感があります。日々の忙しさに埋もれず、少しでも自分自身を大切にする時間を作ることは、人生をより豊かにするための大切なステップだと感じています。
