Stepping Into a New Chapter❣️

I’d like to share something about my recent life 📝


At the end of this January, I stopped doing CrossFit after seven years 💔

It was a really big decision for me. The reason was a shoulder joint injury 😢


When you seriously commit to something 3–4 times a week, it naturally becomes part of your identity. It becomes a place where you belong.


Losing that was physically and emotionally very painful and scary. I even felt like I was slowly becoming a worse version of myself 😢🌈


But now, I can honestly say those seven years were incredibly joyful and something I’m truly proud of ✨☺️


—————


Since last year, my shoulder’s range of motion had been restricted, and my surgery was postponed several times because the scope couldn’t even be inserted. I spent several months in what felt like “the worst situation with no finish line” 😣


The hardest part wasn’t the physical pain — it was the mental struggle.


There were times when I went to the CrossFit gym and wondered,

“Why am I even here?”


But my family and my gym friends quietly watched over me and supported me, and that helped me so much ❤️‍🩹🤝✨


Thankfully, my shoulder is getting much better now. I still can’t do intense training like before, but in daily life I almost have no inconvenience anymore.


Since leaving CrossFit, I’ve started a different kind of training — weight training, initial-load training, breathing exercises, and fascia release to adjust my skeletal and internal alignment 👍🎉


ーーーーーー


Before last summer, one of the structures in my shoulder was damaged, and it started dislocating frequently in daily life.


Of course, it was painful. But even more than the pain, I constantly lived with the psychological fear of “When will it slip again?”


Even when I fell asleep sitting on a train, just relaxing my shoulder could cause the joint to slip out of place 😨


But I ignored my body’s signals and kept doing CrossFit, telling myself, “I’ll just do what I can.” 🧐


Looking back now, I think that decision came from fear — the fear of losing something that had been part of my life for so long.


As a result, my shoulder became more and more restricted. Ironically, it stopped dislocating — because it became stiff. My body protected itself 🫨


And even now, my brain still sends danger signals when I try to move my shoulder too much, because it doesn’t want to experience that pain again — even if I’m physically safe.


Sometimes the body 🙌 and the brain 🧠 become disconnected.


Sometimes you need to listen to your body. Sometimes you need to guide yourself with your mind.


I think a person’s humanity and way of living shows in how they balance those two.


Honestly, I think both the brain and the body are incredible 😊🌈


ーーーー


Going back to my story…


This time, my shoulder needed both my body and my brain to slowly recognize that it was safe ❤️


For me to truly feel “I’m safe,” I needed the help of other people, tools, and I needed to decide to surrender to them.


No matter how good the environment or situation is, nothing moves forward unless you decide to believe in it.


Before things are forced upon you, having the courage to trust yourself, make your own decision, and try — I think that’s incredibly important 💪✨💨


Of course, sometimes external forces push us into change.


But whether you accept it from a victim position, or make it part of your own life, changes what happens next and how you experience it 😌


I feel like this applies to many things in life.


What do you think? 🤗


ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー


And now, I’ve found new habits, and something I’m excited about 💓


I’ve started practicing using my inner muscles, breathing exercises, and fascia release lessons (which hurt!).


It’s actually very subtle, and there’s no obvious sense of achievement like CrossFit.


But my sleep has improved 💤✨


And I’m discovering new potential in myself that I never noticed before.


I’m discovering parts of my body and mind that I had never used, and parts I didn’t know how to use 🥰


For the past seven years, I lived in the world of CrossFit —


“one kilo heavier, one second faster, one more rep.”


I experienced the adrenaline from intense workouts. My body and mind became stronger.


But maybe… I was wearing some kind of armor 😎🔥


Last year, there were nights when I cried because it was just too hard.


But now, I’m glad I allowed myself to truly feel that low.


Maybe it was the pain of my armor breaking off 😚


ーーーーーー


Anyway…


This was definitely a turning point in my life ✌️✨


And now, I’m slowly starting to enjoy this new world my body has guided me to ❣️


I think many people have gone through something like this.


Have you ever had an experience like this?


I’d love to hear your story when we meet 🥰






🌟It's a chance

🌟It's a chance


People often say, "I'm lucky. I'm unlucky."


However, I've heard that luck is not good or bad; it just goes up and down.

It's a natural phenomenon, just like the temperature rising and falling.🌸🏝️🍁❄️



 It happens to everyone in their life. After hearing that story, I started to feel that way.😌



When your luck is down, it is important to sincerely tackle the things in front of you and have gratitude. It is said that this action will put down roots in the earth, and when the time comes, the trunk will grow and flowers will bloom.🌱🌳🌻✨ 🌱🌳🌻✨


————


So what does it really mean to be unlucky? 🤔


That's when the timing isn't right.

👉For example, even though you have the mental, physical, and financial resources to do it, you always miss the opportunity to do it at the last moment.


A more specific example would be,

👉You went to buy a slightly expensive watch(Have sufficient funds ready )and the last one was sold right in front of me (=I couldn't get one).

When that happens, it's time to reflect on your current situation and reassess your behavior.

《※ There is a difference between "mere incident" and "bad luck"》



💡By the way, I believe in the butterfly effect. (=When a butterfly flaps its wings, something corresponding happens on the other side of the world.)🦋🌏


———————


When nothing you do seems to go well, you tend to take action to escape from anxiety and fear.😖


However, as many of you may have experienced, "actions driven by anxiety and fear create more anxiety and fear."(That was my )👻⇨👻‼️


—————-


So how do you build a foundation for your actions? 🤔


In my opinion, what is important is to "enrich the five senses."🥸


The important thing here is not to adopt someone else's sensibilities or trends, but to focus solely on "how you feel."


(Eat seasonal foods😋Live in harmony with the cycles of nature ☀️🐓🌙💤→ this is basic.) 


And to accumulate small virtues.💞


It is said that when the five senses are enriched, Intuition (sixth sense) begins to function.🥰

【①eyesight ②Hearing ③Touch ④Smell ⑤Taste】


In other words, it becomes easier to seize timing and opportunities. 🍀✨


Make time to slow down, relax and enjoy your senses!💓


what do you think about it?😌

Your name is a treasure❤️

When I was in junior college, I belonged to the Japanese Literature Department. I enjoyed composing tanka poems, reading classical Japanese literature, and writing fairy tales!📝🥸——


I had to write five tanka poems every week (so that we could appreciate each other's tanka poems in class).——


At that time, I was always carefully observing the outside world in order to find subjects for tanka poems.🧐——


when I was moved, I put my feelings into words and wrote a tanka poem, which turned out to be a wonderful one.💓——



For example...

1. When I am walking in the dark and suddenly the scent of flowers comes into the air.🌃🌹👃—-


②Roadside flowers that stand out against the black concrete after the rain.

☂️🪷✨—-



3) When I find an orange buried in sparkling green leaves.🌳✨🍊—



It's fun to write down your feelings when you are moved, so please give it a try. *There is a limit to the number of characters for tanka poems. If you are interested, please check it out.😌

(It will give you peace of mind, but it may not be possible if you don't have peace of mind.🤗)——


————


Let's get to the point😎—-


When I was gazing at the roadside to compose a tanka poem, I saw a dandelion.I saw a rose.✨—-


A dandelion is a flower.

Among many flowers, there is a dandelion.—-



If I say "dandelion!", you will be able to find "dandelion" among many other flowers.😌😉—-



Fish are fish.🐟 🌊

They each have their own name, don't they? If you go to a sushi restaurant, you say the name of the fish you want to eat, like "tuna" or "squid."🍣😋—-



But they are only generic names (some may have individual names) 🙄



——————————


Humans are humans.

Women are women.👩

Men are men.👨

🌈 is 🌈.🤝—-


Up to this point, it's the same as fish and flowers.—-




But what about you?😊

You have a name that is just yours!—-


Don't you think it's wonderful to have a name?🥰🥰——


Hey, human! Hey, man! (Hey, woman!)


If someone called out to you like that, would you turn around, smile and say hello?——



Of course, I also have a name. It is a name that my parents gave me with their wishes.🥰🎁💖—-



Every single person living in this world probably has a name.💝



———————————


Once, I saw a stray dog ​​and didn't know its name so I just smiled and said hello to it, and it came to me, but it wasn't smiling (maybe because he was a stray?).🐶—-


But if he had a name, and I called him, I think he would came running to me with joy.😉


———————


Your name.

And someone else's name has so much power.🫶🏻✨♾️❤️‍🔥—-



The number of people we can meet in this lifetime on this earth is limited. Considering that, it is a miracle that we can introduce each other's names!🌏✨

What do you think about it?💓—-



It's okay if we forget tomorrow, but it would be nice if we could call each other's names called out at least once when we meet!👍🥰🥰—-



I'm looking forward to it 🤗💞✨



This is just a thought🫶🏻

What does it mean to surpass your current "Your Best"?


I think that means taking on new challenges.🔥


Even if the result of that challenge isn't what you think is the "best," it will definitely mean that you will have leveled up on the inside.


There is no such thing as failure; everything is just an experience.


Even if you feel like you've succeeded, everything is just an experience.


And past experiences often prevent us from taking on new challenges🤨


Someone once said, "While we live, it's a dream. When we die, we wake up (and understand the truth)." I think there's a deep meaning to this.🥸🫨


——————


Can someone who has never tried delicious food make delicious food?

I think they can make the "delicious food" that they have at the moment.


And it's said that people who know "delicious food" also know "not delicious food" better than anyone else.


In other words, you need to try a lot of things. It would be great if you could find the "best" among them and keep on "updating" it!😆


————————


Can a person who has never been treated kindly by others be kind to others?


I don't know about that. Maybe it's possible.


But I think there is something called "depth" in kindness. No matter how much that "depth" is given, it cannot be received unless the person who received it realizes it. And of course, it cannot be given to others. And if you take one wrong step, it becomes just meddling or imposing a sense of justice.


In other words, it will work if the two energies attract each other.

(Hmm. Maybe that's true for everything.)


I didn't realize it at the time, but later on, there were many times when I felt like, "I can't compete with that person's kindness." Along with gratitude, I also felt frustration and regret. I also wanted to be closer to that kind of person.😌💗


At the time, I didn't realize how much kindness and love them had shown me. I was so focused on my own things that I was desperate.


However, as we grow up, our environments and situations change, and the period of seeking approval and asserting ourselves passes (which still happens a lot to me 😛).


When I do this, I realize that many people have shown me deep kindness and love, and have been watching over me quietly.


In other words, if you only point the arrow at yourself, you often won't notice the problem (although of course introspection is also important).🤝


And, strangely enough, we are drawn to people who have the same level of kindness. (That's why I think that simply being given is truly a blessing from God🕊️✨.)


—————


I still have a strong desire for approval and a strong desire for self-assertion, so it's hard for me to just watch over them quietly.😅


But if I tell myself that there is a fountain of love in my heart that never runs dry, then sometimes I can get through it.⛲️💞✨


But there are times when it's okay to run away as fast as you can.🏃‍♀️💨


That's when you meet someone who just drains your energy. (They don't mean any harm. You just happen to be incompatible.)


Because people want to communicate and support each other.🫶🏻♾️💓


In Japanese, the character for person is written like this.

『人』

It is made up of two people supporting each other.☺️


—————-


Back to the topic..😚


Sometimes it's hard to surpass your "best" moments, but if you give it your best, you'll get something out of it. If you don't give it your best, you'll get nothing, and you'll end up just venting your frustrations out.


Actually, I don't think I want to live that long. (I want to avoid dying before my parents.) But as long as I'm alive, even if it's just a little at a time, I want to surpass my "best." Even if I can't brag about it in front of others, even if I'm not recognized. 


And if possible, I'd be happy if I could help someone else.☺️


What do you think about it. 😌


🍀I'm using a translator, so I hope you understand if the sentences are a bit strange. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.🥰



Strange but True story🤗

My parents cherish our ancestors❤️


In Japan, there is a day called "Obon" every August when people visit the graves of their ancestors to show their respects.🇯🇵☀️


I have heard that in other countries, the dead are buried one by one. In Japan, on the other hand, cremation is common. The bones of all ancestors are placed in one grave.😌🌸


During Obon, we go to the temple as a family to pray for our ancestors and have the monks chant sutras for us.


Every year after the sutra, the monk tells us a short story.🥸✨


There's a story I still remember.

【The reason you are alive today is because your ancestors kept you alive. It may seem like a given, but if even one of them had been missing, you wouldn't be alive today.】


This means that one life contains the lives of many ancestors.✨✨🤝💞The number of ancestor increases with each generation going back.🧑‍🧑‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒……


There is one more story..


The monk asked my family:【Can you grow your own hair? Can you grow your own nails? Can you stop your own heart?】


We replied that we had no control over it.

What do you think about it?


Hearing this story made me feel grateful to my ancestors, who have given me life through their variety of experiences,and of course, the same applies to your life.💝🎁 


In your body, both physically and mentally, what you inherited from your ancestors is certainly flowing through your body♾️🍀


You are on the front line.🎉😎

Let's make it a priority to live happily today as well!🎉


Dose it make sence?

  

I hope you have a great day ❣️
