12 small Japanese Habits that can transform Your Life in 2025!

[@___mercon.]

List of the habits down below. :) Aki! Your content is so powerful, honestly. Thank you for your work. I hope you can always stay so happy and calm. Personally, I love that you shared that haiku with us. You could do that more often! 1. Start clean, end organized - starting day with cleaning, at night put the things back to their place 2. 100% habit - create a tiny habit that you can for sure achieve every day (examples: smile to yourself while in front of a mirror, aline your shoes like Aki does, jump after waking up) 3. Treat things like your lover - ,,you have to treat things as carefully as a loved one" 4. Change your mindset habit - basically you can change your mindset habits. ,,To make a seemingly dull world interesting...... It's your heart that makes it so". My personal example: when my brain starts complaining because I hate my work, I remind myself that I'm grateful that I have one. 5. Heal your gut - it's really important. Eating fermented foods can help. 6. Alternating showers - after a hot shower, do 30 sec of cold shower, then 15 of warm shower. 7. Meditation 8. Your own morning hour - don't start your morning with social media or something like that. Use the first hour of your day after waking up to make yourself happy 9. Matcha ritual - routines and rituals can help us notice the state of our mind and small differences in our mental state 10. Gratitude journal 11. The 1 in 10 rule. - ,,if you give your all 10 times, at least one of them will succeed" 12. Workout! Good luck everyone!

[@Landon-Improvment]

I’ve been meditating and writing in a gratitude journal for several years now, and these habits have become some of the best parts of my life. Meditation helps me pause before making decisions, so I can think clearly instead of acting on impulse. It’s been really helpful. Gratitude journaling has also made me notice so many little things to be thankful for, like the pencil I use to write or the journal itself. It’s amazing how these practices help me appreciate the small things. I’ve also started noticing more details in social interactions that I can compliment, which makes it easier to connect with others and make friends. I’m also really thankful you told me about matcha. I’ve been drinking it for the past couple of months, and it’s been great. It’s so relaxing in the morning, and just like you said, it helps me slow down and not rush through the day. ありがとうございます。

[@nancylee8061]

I am stubborn .I have had severe depression. I resisted using a gratitude journal thinking that it was just another pop psychology thing. However this year, after using one for a couple of months I have found that my attitude and outlook is much better. I find myself appreciating small joys in my life. Even when something bad happens, I can think of something that makes me more calm and a bit less upset.

[@englishwithsharmistha385]

Wow Aki , you are a life coach of your own life and showing a bright way to others.

[@arussellturner]

You made a really good point about the matcha ritual helping show you your mental state. I never thought about how a ritual like that can help you notice how you’re feeling-rushed, stressed, etc. I’m going to be more mindful about my coffee routine now.

[@blackberrybunny]

I am German and every afternoon around 3-4pm I have my tea. Sometimes coffee. Kaffee & Kuchen! Coffee and cake! However, my tea is a regular black tea. I have never tried matcha, but want to now. I live in the USA, in Florida. My tea ceremony isn't as grand as Samurai Matcha's is, but I do have my own special spoon and teacup/saucer, etc. I didn't know that the same tea leaves that make matcha are the same ones that make black tea. Both teas come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, but the leaves are treated differently to create different teas.

[@SamuraiMatcha]

I’m so happy to hear that! I hope it makes a difference in your life.

[@iFaerySorcière]

Matchaaa i worry about you and all of Japan with the destructive earthquakes and other extreme weather things … i love Japan so much because of Matcha ❤❤

[@SimoneR.-dl3ik]

Guten Morgen ❤ wie schön du lebst!! Wundervoll 🤩 vielen Dank für deine tollen Tipps!!

[@Scarlett-jq4cj]

I love your positivity! I was actually cleaning and organizing my room while playing your video and it felt validating and encouraging at the same time! Thank you!

[@mariaveronica2629]

I do some habits like "almost" everytime cleaning all intire home, i can't let the sink be full of washing dishes, always tidy up sandals/shoes at home precisionly, arrange the furniture according to color and alignment. And do declutter frequently. I think, i'm OCD😆 But i'm happy, relieved and comfortable. Now, my son follows my habits Haha. Ohya, i loveee so much matcha and greentea. For almost 7years i've been drinking them~ so happy!❤

[@feimuihong5668]

I have the same Ikea display cabinet you have. Love your videos🎉

[@DCB938]

I have started a few of your habits from this and previous videos. I have started a gratitude journal and it is making me aware of the small things that are truly important in my life. Also have started to clean my toilet every morning. Although it doesn’t make me feel humble lol it’s just one of my household cleaning chores. 😊 I do have a very hard time with cold showers 😂 The first thing I do in the morning, after some stretching is to feet the feral cats that visit me in the mornings. Now that makes me very happy. Then I feed my inside pets and take my dog for a short walk before I start my day with writing in my gratitude journal.

[@VirginiaGinny-iy5ub]

Your youtube offerings are wonderfully buoyant, insightful, and inspiring!🎉🌟✨️

[@SamuraiMatcha]

Thank you so much for your kind words❤︎

[@DJ_Zing]

My grandmother always taught me to keep my spaces clean. You never know when company might arrive! However it also makes me feel better physically and mentally!

[@SquishDotNet]

Aki, I've been watching you and your positive lessons for about 8 months now and you have helped me and my friend (she doesn't know where I get my teachings for her teehee) in more ways than I can ever repay. I would love to meet you someday and have matcha with you! Come visit Wisconsin some day!

[@loisk999]

I’ve been self employed & I wanted to tell you how I deal with being alone 1). I keep in touch with friends & family by phone. I make sure to talk to at least 1 person each day. I take a walk & talk on the phone while I talk 2) I make plans to get together with friends who are nearby for dinner or lunch or a hike or a walk or a concert at least once or twice a week. 3) I do volunteer work that brings me into contact with other people & allows me to meet new people.

[@MN-ii4es]

I recall that even as a child I had an inner sense that even inanimate objects deserved gentile and dignified treatment. My possessions always lasted and lasted... Others looked at me strangely, but I followed my heart. Is there a belief or philosophy that believes everything has a 'soul' or life force that deserves respect? What do you think?

[@janelast5177]

I understand you and feel the same

[@carwow8004]

@lizashermon7431 Hi, I am interested in knowing more about you.

[@violaineaudrey8841]

Hello, I feel the same since my childhood ! I read something about "animisme" (french word but it could be the same in english without the final "e") one day and it spoke to me ! Perhaps you could take a look at this philosophy ? Take care 🌿🌸

[@Sakura.Japan-vx4hf]

this is wonderful advise, I have a meditative morning with exercise and a plan for the day, I bike to work in a good frame of mind but then i have to mix with others that are not happy, they are emotional bullies, and control freaks, they go unchecked by management , so I lose all my carefully built up self esteem and calmness instantly..Im very sad, its alot of work to rebuild everyday

Thank you very much for your tips. I already do some of the ones you mention. This year, I would like to go for a walk first thing in the morning. I've been trying to do it, but I always have other things to do, like reading, playing the piano or study a language and finally I go for a walk much later😅
