"For me, tidying up is not a housework, and I don't pursue things that are too ritual. I can't accept too rigid rules and dogmatic things." She said.
She gave an example, for example, it looks like it is sorting clothes, but in fact it is sorting out needs through choices. "In this process, I think about whether I need to be at the moment, and I am immersed in the moment of staying with myself. It is the judge of life."
"My current focus is on home furnishings, plants, hanging paintings, etc. I no longer devote 100% of my energy to the finishing of the external world. About 2/3 of the time I start to meditate, read, and talk to my inner self. That's the more interesting part." She said.
When I was young, it was easy for people to "heartbeat" because of a little thing, but after years of tempering and busy life in life, it seems that there are fewer and fewer things that make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, and their sense of satisfaction is also lower and lower.
"Daily home furnishing is actually organizing the external environment of your life and creating a happy and comfortable space." Zhou Yi compared the body to a container, "The body feels comfortable and can help you better perceive your interests. "

"Paper books are a luxury in my opinion. It is irreplaceable for the cultivation of thoughts. Instead of buying a brand-name bag, it is better to buy a book." Like the title of the book, Zhou Yiyan will buy the book; for a certain author If you are interested, I will try to buy all of his works.
She defines the nourishment of reading to the heart like this: "Reading is a very quiet thing that can relax and quiet. The friend (the author) on the other side tells you his story silently through words."
You may resonate with the words in the book, or you may have questions, and have unlimited imagination.
A book can also be your confidant. Through "cloud communication" and "cloud communication", when you find a "confidant", you will also like yourself more and more.
She suggested that you can read a book for a while before going to bed, "When I stay away from my mobile phone and hug books, I can find peace of mind. The pleasure of reading is the most suitable for meditation." (End)
