These 10 Japanese habits will make your life more beautiful
Small habits like eating slowly, walking regularly, respecting nature or drinking tea make life deep and meaningful. Here are 10 Japanese habits that will make our lives more balanced and meaningful.
1. Slow eating habit
A common trend in Japanese food culture is ‘Hara sneeze boo’. It means stopping eating when your stomach is 80 percent full. At first, you may feel that you are not completely satisfied with it. But believe me, it is very helpful for digestion. It also prevents overeating. In the long run, this habit helps in weight control.
2. Morning stretching
In Japan, many people are seen doing light exercise or stretching together in the park or office every morning. This exercise is called ‘Rajio Taisho’. ‘Rajio’ means radio and ‘Taiso’ means exercise. That is, the stretching is broadcast on the radio in the morning. It is done for a very short time. This simple and short stretching makes the body and mind active and alert early in the morning. It is not only helpful for physical fitness, but also effective in increasing discipline and morning enthusiasm.
3. Minimalism in living
Although Japanese houses are usually small in size, they have a tidy, peaceful and open environment. Behind this is ‘Dan Shari’. Dan Shari is a minimalist lifestyle, where everything unnecessary is removed, leaving only the necessary and meaningful things. Living things, especially wardrobes or cupboards, are arranged in a specific place following the ‘Konmari Method’ in such a way that they are easy to find and never remain messy. When you remove unnecessary things and keep your home organized, daily life becomes much easier and more comfortable.
