M.A.

but now my worries have lessened. Instead, my mindset has shifted towards enjoying life more.

Thank you very much for allowing me to participate

Changes I have experienced

・I can now wake up before 5 AM and immediately fold my bedding.

・I used to visit a café in the morning to take a break, but I no longer feel the need to go.

・I used to be very concerned about my son’s atopic dermatitis, but now my worries have lessened. Instead, my mindset has shifted towards enjoying life more.

Realizations

I feel that I can now move through my daily life with more energy and vitality

How I will apply this to my daily life

・During Temple Stay, I engaged in both indoor and outdoor tasks every day.I realized that moving my body prevents me from being overly preoccupied with unnecessary thoughts, especially regarding my husband and eldest son. There simply was no time to dwell on things.This has been a significant and positive change for me.

・Chanting sutras loudly also seems to add a sense of focus and structure to my day

Moving forward, I will continue to recite sutras loudly as part of my daily routine
