Seven ways to let go of fatigue and stress and develop a rich mind and body

Our lives are a journey towards realizing our desires. In order to travel this journey lightly and powerfully, it is essential to balance your body and mind and stay full of energy at all times.

However, modern society is full of factors that consume our energy, such as stress and information overload. So, this time, we will delve deeper into seven ways to more easily and effectively regulate energy and accelerate your desires, as well as three of the most important factors.

Release unnecessary energy and thoroughly detox

Our daily lives are constantly affected by invisible energy. In a society where relationships at home, at work, in public, and information overload, we unconsciously absorb a variety of energy, which accumulates as fatigue and stress.

If you leave unnecessary energy accumulated in your body and mind, your balance will gradually become unstable, causing you to fall into a vicious cycle of physical discomfort, mental instability, poor concentration, and a loss of motivation to realize your wishes.
Energy is our inner life force, and is based on support from our mind, body, and even the universe. To create a healthy cycle of energy, the "axis" that connects the body, soul, and the universe in a straight line must be stable.
The "axis" is our inner central axis, which governs the balance of consciousness, emotions, and body. An aligned state refers to a state in which the mind and body are stable and energy is circulating smoothly. This stability of the axis is the foundation for turning your desires into shape, and it is the most important secret.

How can you release unnecessary energy and detoxify it?

Here are some simple ways to blend in with your daily life without requiring any special preparation or skills.

Soak in a lukewarm bath (How to use Epsom salt)

Slowly soaking in lukewarm water at 38-40°C is one of the easiest ways to relieve physical and mental tension and increase the relaxing effect. In particular, placing Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in the bathtub can absorb magnesium from the skin, promote muscle relaxation, and enhance detoxification. Magnesium also inhibits the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, leading to a more relaxed state.

Thoroughly increase awareness of hydration (recommended with hot water)

Approximately 60% of our bodies are made of water, and hydration is extremely important in eliminating waste from our bodies. In particular, if you start drinking hot water just in the morning or before going to bed at night, your internal organs will warm up, activate your digestive function, and improve your detoxification effect. Hot water is used actively as it helps raise body temperature, boosts metabolism, and improves coldness.

Relieve stagnation with light exercise and stretching

Desk work and the same posture over long periods are major causes of stagnating energy flow. Light exercise and stretching relieve muscle tension, promote blood circulation, and smooth energy flow. In particular, stretching that moves the shoulder blades is recommended as it regulates the autonomic nervous system and increases the relaxing effect.

Ensure good quality sleep (preparation of bedroom environment)

　Sleep is the most important time to restore physical and mental energy. To ensure a good quality sleep, it is important to maintain a bedroom environment. Avoid using your smartphone or computer before going to bed, and darken your room and create a quiet environment. It is also a good idea to pay attention to your bedding and choose the pillow or mattress that suits you.

Encounter with nature (Earthing practice)

We are part of nature and can recharge our energy by interacting with nature. Just walking around the park or walking barefoot on the soil will soothe your body and mind and feel the energy filling. In particular, earthing (direct contact with the Earth) is said to have the effect of releasing static electricity accumulated in the body and balancing the mind and body.

The importance of having time to relax and rest your mind and body (introducing mindfulness)

Modern society is surrounded by an environment that can be considered a flood of information. For those who have a tight schedule every day, or are busy with work, housework and childcare, the obvious act of "having time to do nothing" may be extremely difficult. However, the simple action of "rest" is a very important factor in increasing energy and accelerating the realization of your desires.

When we live our busy days, we tend to unconsciously push ourselves into our lives by saying, "We have to work harder" or "We don't have time to rest." As a result, the mind becomes anxious, the body is constantly tense, excessive energy is consumed and exhausted. This is like keeping the car running at full speed, not long before it has to shut off the engine. It is inevitable that they will run out of gas and will soon be in a shortage of energy.

Deliberately make time to "do nothing" (digital detox)

When you're busy, consciously set a blank time in your schedule. You can just let go of your smartphone or computer and sit down casually. Digital detoxing helps to avoid excessive brain stimulation and relax your mind and body.
