Why We Need "Time to Tidy Up" Now
In the midst of our busy daily lives, we sometimes put ourselves last.
Before we know it, our thoughts are scattered, and our breathing becomes shallow.
Modern society is an environment where our attention is constantly directed outwards.
Information constantly streams from our smartphones, and we are continuously reacting in our work and relationships.
As this state continues, the time we have to focus on what we feel and what we need gradually diminishes.
Naturally, people can organize and tidy their thoughts and emotions during moments of inactivity.
However, we have become accustomed to the feeling that we must always be doing something, always moving forward.
As a result, we often mistakenly believe that "tidying up" means adding something new.
But in reality, tidying up means letting go of what's unnecessary and returning to our original state.
To do that, we need to intentionally take time to pause.
Fragrance can be a catalyst for this.
Light a flame and watch the smoke slowly rise.
Feel the scent and focus on your breath.
This simple act gently brings your outwardly directed attention back inwards.
Taking even a few minutes for yourself.
This is not a luxury, but a necessary habit in the times to come.
Incorporate moments of tidying into your daily life.
