Design That Connects You to the Present Moment
In today’s fast-paced world, we often find ourselves rushing through each day, losing the ability to appreciate the little things.
With our smartphones overflowing with notifications and endless to-do lists dominating our lives, we forget to pause and focus on the present moment.
At times, we dwell on mistakes we made in the past or the goals we failed to achieve, while simultaneously worrying about a future that has yet to come.
As a result, we overlook the happiness and small joys that are right in front of us. However, true happiness is not found in the past or the future—it exists only in this very moment.
When I was living in Japan, I was always out and about. I spent my time traveling abroad, dining at luxurious restaurants with my wealthy boyfriend, or indulging in girls’ nights out and shopping sprees.
I saw staying at home as inefficient—my house was merely a place to sleep, like a temporary "passageway."
Constantly seeking something from the outside world, I lived a life far removed from peace and tranquility.
However, my encounter with Lunaria marked a turning point. When I began a life surrounded by flowers and cherished items, I experienced the feeling of "calm" for the first time.
Simply gazing at the flowers I had placed in my room or immersing myself in the beauty of the space brought a natural sense of peace and nurtured a richness within me.
A space filled with flowers and beloved objects seemed to gently embrace and heal my heart, allowing me to realize, "This is enough."
The time spent arranging flowers became more than just a task—it became a special moment for self-refinement. The beauty of the flowers brought healing to my heart and filled me with a gentle sense of happiness.
As I nurtured flowers and plants, my heart became filled with feelings of love, enriching not only my surroundings but also myself. This practice became a way to discover gratitude and joy in daily life, and a meaningful method of cherishing myself.
What I realized after starting a life surrounded by flowers and cherished items was that true happiness isn’t about seeking it in the outside world, but about nurturing it within myself.
By filling my heart and embracing the beauty within my home, I cultivated a sense of self-care. Instead of searching for something outside, I learned to look inward, appreciating and treasuring what I already have.
The space we live in is like a mirror reflecting the state of our minds. Our environment and inner selves are deeply connected, and the influence of our surroundings on our inner world is greater than we often realize.
Filling a space with flowers and cherished items is akin to filling the heart with love. Being surrounded by a beautiful space naturally fosters a sense of appreciation for what is in front of us, encouraging us to keep our rooms tidy and organized. This process not only brings order to our physical environment but also helps to declutter the mind, cultivating inner beauty and richness.
By seeing everything around you as an extension of yourself, you can cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and self-acceptance. Being in a beautifully organized environment naturally inspires a stronger determination to become the best version of yourself, giving you the motivation to move closer to your ideal self.
The space we live in has the power to guide us toward becoming better versions of ourselves. The energy and influence of that environment serve as a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement.
Humans inherently possess the ability to adapt to their environment. Therefore, paying attention to the space in which we live is essential for improving our quality of life.
By placing yourself in a beautifully organized space, you naturally adopt behaviors and mindsets that align with that environment, ultimately transforming your entire lifestyle for the better.
Lunaria gave me the opportunity to pause amidst the busyness of modern life and rediscover the importance of loving and enjoying the present moment.
What this space taught me was a new way of living that nurtures the heart and enriches the soul. It’s not just about beauty—it’s like a loving partner that enhances our daily lives and elevates our entire being to a new level.
Creating a space that fosters growth and abundance is, at its core, an investment in your future self.
What truly matters is surrounding yourself with items that uplift your energy and fill your space with things you love. By doing so, you create a sense of love and gratitude in the present moment.
This practice fosters a rich and abundant state of mind. When you maintain a heart full of gratitude and love, you’ll realize that happiness is not something distant in the future—it is always here, in this very moment.
Fill your room with flowers and cherished items, and discover the treasure of joy within your heart. By nurturing a sense of appreciation for the happiness right in front of you, your life will transform as if by magic. In doing so, you’ll uncover the happiness that already exists and experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and growth within yourself.
