8 simple Japanese habits that will make your life so much better!!

Cleaning your toilet is NOT gross. NOT cleaning your toilet is GROSS!

After watching the first few minutes of this video, I paused and went to clean my bathroom. Finally, I cleaned the whole house and now I'm back to finish watching 😅😊❤ ​​thanks for the inspiration and positive information 🇧🇷

As an Indian my parents taught us these too.. Glad to know how different cultures are fundamentally similar

I wanna say something. I heard you talk about this cleaning the toilet every day thing. I listened, scowling and thinking, ‘I just cleaned the toilet 3 or 4 days ago!’ But I have a ton of respect for Japanese culture and wisdom, so I tried to keep an open mind. The next morning, I look at the toilet. Trying to recreate what you said, I say out loud, “…you will be surprised at what you find that needs attention here and in other areas of your life.” So, I do it. Suddenly, I feel #proud (of how clean the vitreous China bowl has become). Not that it was dirty, but now I KNOW it is clean. This feeling of proud, has become a foreign emotion and I made a note. The next day, I cleaned the toilet again. I rush through the task, trying to move on to the next thing on my “to do” list. I realize, I live a too full life. What needs to be wiped off the list that would make space for more important or meaningful experiences? Day 3, I clean the toilet, thinking I need to be mindful of what cleansers I am using. Strong acidic cleansers will erode the drain pipe and make for costly repairs. Later I realize, I’ve fallen behind in my bookkeeping. I may have lots of money circling the drain because I have not been recording it’s usage. Not paying attention, over time will erode away my finances. Is it time to clean out (cancel) old subscriptions? Am I paying for too much convenience? (Remembering what I said about feeling proud, I think) What will that cost me, down the line? What I am saying is, this cleaning the toilet daily has been single-handedly one of the most powerful exercises I’ve incorporated into my daily life so far. I get it now.., and thank you, for sharing these powerful insights. — Subscribed.

Whenever I am in a bad mood. I clean or organize something. Trust me it really helps. Every one should try it.

My Mom is Japanese and does all of these! She is the most positive influence in my life! Thank you.

I stopped the video and cleaned my toilet, now I’m back 🤓

The world has so much to learn from the Japanese culture. Manners, respect, cleaniness, kind-hearted, punctunual. We should take part of this more in the Western world.

1. clean your toilet 2. organize your shoes 3. improve your posture 4. itadakimasu (gratitude) 5. put the chair back after using it 6. ware tada taruwo shiru (knowing that you are content will bring peace to your heart) 7. okagesamade (I am good) 8. going to bed early and getting up early Awesome. Big changes happen through changes in habits, so these are great.

My first experience with Japanese culture was a tour group who was departing from our local airport. I had to tag their bags to their next destination. They all stood quietly in a line and waited patiently while I attended each bag. I showed each person the destination on the tag to confirm, they approved, I quickly affixed. I nodded approval to one lady for the nice scarf she had tied on her handle. My meaning was to compliment here for using such an attractive scarf to identity her luggage. She took it off and gifted it to me much to my embarrassment. I had not wanted to take it away from her. But it was done. I still have the scarf today more than 20 years later and am happy to say that in 17 years, this group was the most enjoyable passengers I have ever served. Considering we did not speak each other’s language, that is saying a lot.

Keeping toilet clean ☑️ Tidy shoes ☑️ Putting chair back ☑️ Being grateful ☑️ Going to bed early ☑️ Getting up early (working on it). Appreciate my surroundings ☑️ My habits can seem trivial to those around me but to me they mean a lot.

In my country 🇩🇿 ⵣ we use the word " AZUL " in the beginning of a conversation or entering to a room ( most of the time it means hi or hello ) but actually "AZ" = come closer "UL" = means heart Which means come closer to my heart ( and I find that beautiful)

1- cleaning Toilet 2- become Humble 3- Organise your room 4- Organise your shoes 5- Improve your posture 6- Thank you for meals 7- Gratitude for life 8- Put the chair Back after use 9- feel happy with what you have now 10- how are you ? 11- sleep early get up early 12- start small step

Because of this video, I have been cleaning my toilet every morning since Ramadan in late March or Early April of this year (2023). It’s now July and I have not missed a day. Some days, I deep clean, taking the seat off, deep cleaning the tank, et cetera, and some days I simply wipe it and clean the bowl. Placing my towel on the top of the tank without apprehension while I shower is my greatest reward to myself! This practice has changed my spirit and life enormously, and I will continue it for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for sharing all of these wonderful rituals!

We often overlook GRATITUDE..but once you start being mindful of it life just seems different

I can actually feel the atmosphere change after i clean my house. It just feels lighter and more enjoyable. Even tho it was strait before, just cleaning makes the difference

When I grew up, I was taught a couple very simple everyday rules: 1. if you take it out, you put it back 2. if you dirty/soil it, clean it 3. if you break it, fix it 4. if you lose it, replace/go look for it 5. if you hurt someone, apologize(unless you were attacked first)(this one is circumstancional) 6. try to be helpful/kind to everyone and anythings resp. value the world around you Those are very basic rule to becoming a normal, decent, functioning member of society.

1 - Clean the toilet 2 - Organize your shoes 3 - Improve your posture 4 - Itadakimasu 5 - Put the chair back after using it 6 - Ware tada taruwo shiru (Knowing that you're content, will bring peace to your heart) 7 - Okagesama (I'm good, thanks to all of you) 8 - Go to bed early, and wake up early

I lived in Japan as an American child. What a beautiful country!!! Wonderful people and culture. So very orderly. For me it was beauty and simplicity at finest level. ❤

I often wake up at 5 a.m. and read books while drinking coffee ^^
