Recommend cutting off to prepare your mind

In recent years, there has been a tidying up boom, and when you go to a bookstore, many books about tidying up are sold.
“Cut off” and “minimalist” are words that appeal to me as a person who is cleaning up all the time.
It is.
Now that the corona disaster has occurred, I hear that more and more people are arranging their homes because they are spending more time at home.
Having said that, people who have a large total amount of things or who don’t do cleaning except for major cleaning can be at a loss as to where to start.
I think it is a common story that it is good to be motivated and pull things out, but just by spreading things out, it becomes extra dirty, nostalgic books come out and you just read them.

Now, the word “abstinence” that came out at the beginning is originally a teaching of yoga,
It is said that it refers to “dangyō”, “disposal”, and “disseparation”.
The meaning is,

◎ Decisive action: Blocking new and unnecessary items from entering
◎ Disposal: Discarding unnecessary things at home
◎ Detachment: Detachment from attachment to things

It seems to be.

Generally, tidying up means returning things to their original location or disposing of unnecessary items.
However, “abstinence” means “refusing” and “throwing away” things that are unnecessary to you, and “leaving” from attachment to things.
So, let’s live comfortably and live lightly, to live a better life beyond mere tidying up.
It’s a way of thinking.

It is the same with things and information, but today is an era where anything is readily available.
That’s why, if you’re not careful, your house will be overflowing with things.
A room overflowing with objects can be stressful when you see it.
If you don’t find what you need right away, you look for it, or the same thing will come out as soon as you buy it, wasting time and money.
Letting go of unnecessary things even a little bit every day will make you feel refreshed and you can reduce unnecessary expenses.
In addition, if there is room in the space, it will lead to room in the mind.
First of all, why don’t you start by organizing the refrigerator where the expiration date is clear and it is easy to judge what you are and what you do not need?
It is also a good idea to decide “only this room today” or to separate the time to “until 0 o’clock”.

It is often said that “the state of the room represents the psychological state of the person.”
It’s a sore ear.
