”Aligning" our feelings and our lives

さて、「断捨離」という言葉をWikipediaで調べてみると、「不要なモノなどの数を減らし、生活や人生に調和をもたらそうとする生活術や処世術のこと。基本的にはヨーガの行法、「断行（だんぎょう）」、「捨行（しゃぎょう）」、「離行（りぎょう）」という考え方を応用して、人生や日常生活に不要なモノを断つ、また捨てることで、モノへの執着から解放され、身軽で快適な人生を手に入れようという考え方、生き方、処世術である。」と書いてあります。

The term "renunciation（DANSHARI)" is defined by Wikipedia as "a way of living” or ”a way of life in which one tries to bring harmony to one's life by reducing the number of unneeded objects and other things.” Basically, it is a way of thinking, a way of life, and a way of dealing with life by applying the yogic practices of "renunciation,（DANSHARI)" "shagyo," and "rigyou" to free oneself from attachment to things and obtain a lighter and more comfortable life by cutting down or discarding unnecessary things in life and daily life. It is a way of thinking, a way of living, and a way of getting rid of things. It is written as follows.

「断捨離」とはやましたひでこさんの造語だそうです。一人の方の造語がここまで世間に影響を与え、浸透していることに驚きました。この「断捨離」は気持ちの整理、シンプルな考え方にも結びついてくるものだと思います。

The term "DANSHARI(renunciation)" was coined by Ms. Hideko Yamashita. I was surprised that a word coined by one person has had such an impact on the world and has penetrated so far. I think this "decluttering" is also connected to organizing one's mind and simple thinking.

あなたは「悩み」はありますか？　（Do you have any "worries"?）
人によって解決可能な問題、自分だけでは解決できない問題をそれぞれ抱えられていらっしゃることだと思います。人によっては「悩みなんてない！」と言い切れる方もいらっしゃるでしょう。悩みはもちろんないほうがいいので、この質問をきっかけに悩みを作ろうとなさらないでくださいね。私がなぜこのことを記事にしようと思ったかと申しますと、最近実践している考え方が「心の断捨離」につながっていると感じたからです。

I am sure that each person has his or her own problems that are solvable and those that cannot be solved by oneself alone. Some people may be able to say, "I don't have any problems! " Of course, it is better not to have any problems, so please do not try to create them by asking this question. The reason why I decided to write this article is because I feel that the way of thinking I have been practicing recently is connected to "mental detachment."
