【Things in this video】
Many people have been asking me about the things I use,
I tried to find products that is the same or similar to my items
on amazon in the USA and JPNAN.
As a minimalist, I don't want you to buy many things.
However, If you really want to buy them, please ask yourself,
“Does this spark joy？“ before buying it:)

I love how ya boy has so much love and pride for his own culture, and is so open to, respectful of, and ready to see the good in other cultures too. When you really have self-respect and confidence, you're not threatened by others' difference, and you can clearly see your own good qualities and flaws. He sets a great example in his videos, and his wholesomeness always puts me in a good mood.

I like that the things are things that we've mostly seen in your other videos prior! There are many "minimalist" youtubers out there who often share their "esssential items" but its constantly something new and it kind of defeats the purpose, i think. so i really liked yours! Also, YES PLEASE teach us your matcha making. Also again, please consider making a discord. :)

yay! i love to see a new samurai video on friday morning! i admire a lot of things about japanese culture because they make sense! i especially love furoshiki, bc since i was a child, i always hated the fact that you wrap a present in pretty paper and then you rip it and throw it away right after! so i always tried to open presents carefully and recycle the paper. but a pretty cloth that you can use many times is way more logical! paper is precious! it's made of trees! :( OH! i just found out that feb 23 is furoshiki day in japan! how is that celebrated? as for japanese food, i also looooove gyoza so much! i could eat them every day! and sunomomo and sushi, but i'm vegan so my sushi is rice + veggies + fruit! and wasabi, of course! question: do you actually sleep in a kimono or is that just for decency on camera? are there special sleepwear kimonos?

I finally got a car this past summer, the absolute first thing I bought for it was a Bluetooth FM transmitter because it’s a 14 year old car and my phone doesn’t have an aux port for me to have just run a cord. Absolutely an essential if you ever spend any significant time in the car, which I knew I would be.

@jmc8076 Жыл бұрын

@@tiffanyroseangeles34 I’m guessing you’re still young. Secret: millions are where you are and have been but never gave up on themselves. Make you a priority daily. Not selfish it’s self love - we can’t give what we don’t have. Michael Sealy hypnosis videos and Suki Baxter for health. Honour your body and listen to what it needs. Just before you open your eyes in morn (find ways to get rest) focus on what’s good and right in your life and ask your innate system/higher self ‘what do I need to know?’ then thank you. Let it go. Other then with medical physicians etc dont label yourself by your diagnosis. Use dysfunction or sensation (pain) and don’t let it become your identity. We don’t know what the future will be and can only control this moment. By focusing on fear we can create self fulfilling prophesies and fear and not healthy in any way. Feel it, let it come up and out. Then do something that feels good - not that’s bad for you. In time you’ll feel stronger and more hopeful but it’s in your hands. Listen to others but trust your instincts for you. Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Also write down: I’m enough and worthy. Always and no matter what. KK? 😉
