Which secret could you incorporate into your life right now?
Can you make a video explaining "Toyoko kids"??? I don't really understand it 100%.
I am an American and I have lived in Japan for over 23 years. Many of the "harmony" things you talk about I just call "Zen" but I practice them in every part of my live. When driving, I used to be an aggressive driver but thanks to the Japanese culture, I have learned how to be a better, non aggressive driver and actually enjoy the ride. The same can be said about my job. I have distanced myself from "friends" who just want to be negative and try to stay positive and smile most of the time. There is a downside to this though. When I travel back to the states, my family still want to argue a debate politics and when I don't argue back, they actually get frustrated with me and become angry. I think they should adopt the "Keep Harmony" lifestyle. The world would definitely be a much better place!
There is nothing wrong with healthy political discussion. People can’t avoid conflict everywhere all the time and as long as it is peaceful it’s fine
I agree with you whole heartedly. However, "healthy " political discussions with my family are nonexistent. @@timm285
So you rather text a book on youtube than talk to your family. The point of just being at peace is you can disagree while being perfectly content with the outcome, whatever the outcome. You cant control other people’s emotions. So no point in dwelling in it. Especially if you laid out your thoughts respectfully.
Sadly American culture sucks. Its where Karen's/Ken's, Negative Nancy's/Nick's, & Entitled Elizabeth's/Earl are thriving. It sucks being an American
But i think, one of the weaknesses of Japanese, is their passiv behaviour. Why they also have a lot of problems.
I agree that harmony is important. But it is also important to talk about important stuff, which concerns us all, Politics for example.
Of course, this should be in a peacefull way, where everyone can say his opinion whitout being hatet for it.
We will always support you no matter what. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
There are times when I don't realize I needed to hear a message until I hear it. This is one of those times. Thank you both.
I remember my first time in Japan as a tourist (been born and raised in Mexico), I knew some things in advance but every hour I spent in Japan was filled with things that really surprised me, things that I never expected a society could achieve (super clean streets, excellent service at stores, polite people, perfect transportation, ease of access for disabled people, friendliness towards tourists and the list goes infinitely on). Thanks Mrs. eats for going beyond and sharing all of this with the rest of the word.
I agree with the harmony 100% just as long as it doesnt turn into no one being able to say what they truly want to, just to avoid issues or arguements which is something that ' s not good because people have to be honest with eachother and sometimes feelings gotta be hurt, even to help in some situations where someone might need to just have a reality check. I do love Japan and the language but I'm really sorry that I could not live in a place where you don't know if people are being honest with you... That's my opinion but I love you and your husband all those great content creators that entertain us everyday with brilliant content😊
I'm the type of person that loves brutal honesty and constructive criticism. The truth shall set you free. You also don't always have to agree on everything, you can politely disagree. It's all about having emotional maturity. However, I think what they are referring to here is there is a time and place for everything. Having a debate about politics or abortion is probably not the best idea during a family function. Combine it with alcohol and all hell breaks loose haha.
@@user-rr3fo6hy9q yeah but that is not how it works in Japan context, it is more of an canned soup people bottle it up whatever they think and they don't share it is such a degree that sometimes even they don't know what is inside and I don't think that is healthy for human animal, humans are social creatures we are not robotic mechanical systems human nature needs to be messy not bottled up canned and stored in a shelf nice and tidy, that is unnatural
3:33 That sound is actually from the horror movie "The Grudge" filmed in Japan 😂 you nailed it, croakkkkkkkkkkkk
I lived in Korea 4 years and visited Japan many times
I was extremely impressed
I returned to America recently and i can't do it 😅😅😅😅😅
Planning to move to Japan next 😊❤
The respect and order and best customer service made me a super fan
Yeah, the deep-state globalists ruined America.
The last 3 videos have been very good! Reminding me to be compassionate in every aspect of my life! Thank you for these powerful messages! 😊
I think keeping harmony and avoiding disagreements is important, but a lot of understanding can come from disagreements once they're resolved. Also, I think somewhere like Japan it's easier to have a lot of people agree culturally when a large majority of the population comes from that same cultural upbringing. We have so many disagreements in the US because we have so many cultural differences here. At the same time, a lot of people can understand different cultures when they live in the same areas together. Even if we might be different, and we might not agree on things, I can still respect and understand your position, and hopefully the feeling is reciprocated. But, if we never have those conversations, it might never happen, you know?
Mrs Eats you look really lovely with this hair length.
The last thing was important, how i find. It's easy for people to say(and often time judge) do just this and this and everything gets better. But when your'e mind is not in the right state, eg. depression and stuff, it's really hard. And this is the point where it's important that you can ask for help. Real help.
If I have 4 things on my plate, does that turn my triangle eating into a square meal? 😂
Seriously though, great stuff! I heard about a few of these reading about Blue Zones, but most are new. Kotodama and keeping my space clean are definitely things that I need to work on, so now I'm off to do some laundry. Keep up the great work, Mr. and Mrs. Eats!!
This was a great video. I myself struggle with letting negative thoughts impact my daily life.
To stop doing that, and being positive in every situation, is so incredibly hard.
All this is true! (I love you two, by the way.) I've been in Japan 13 days. I walk a LOT in the US. I walk more here! And triangle eating plus soup, usually miso soup, means I am lightly satisfied quicker. I've lost an inch or more around my waist in less than 2 weeks.
In the US, I eat as I drive ... a LOT. My "triangle" is cheeseburger, french fries, diet Coke. What Im doing here FEELS better and IS better.
😂😂😂😂 nice triangle
0:54 in Indian cuisine too (mostly only in restaurants nowadays) you can get what is called a _thaali_ (lit. means 'plate), which is a large plate with bread, rice, and multiple main dishes served in tiny little bowls (think of the size of an espresso mug). When i was about 14-15, there was a restaurant that would have like 15-20 different dishes on a buffet-style table; i would always want to taste all of them; but when i went to get a second round, i would always be amazed at how full i had already gotten from just 'sampling' the food...
I have done 'triangle eating' my whole life without realising it was a thing. It's just how I did it cos it's enjoyable
I had a lumbar sprain, had a week to get it better cus i had to go to work, and just simple moving around really healed me. Along with a geat pad n massaging the area.
I follow the triangle movemrnt when eating and it has really helped me with pacing myself. I love stuffing my face.
I love that these are things a cukture does. It really validates what i improvised for myself
Thanks Mrs. Eats for bringing up this video, now i know that showinf appreciation for the food is healthy and good, im learning japanese and im starting to use this method to learn it ❤
Thank you so much for this inspiring video. 6 months ago, I started learning about Japanese culture (to prepare for my trip to Japan). The more I learn, the more I am taking things on board here in the UK. Your video has helped expand my understanding even more. Thank you 🫶 ❤
You can do it!
@@MrsEats Thank you 🙏♥️
You guys are looking so good !
Wow, great message guys. Thank you! I needed to hear that this morning 😊
I'm glad you enjoy it!! Which one did you feel was most helpful?
Such good advice!
Wow, long time no see! Glad to ahve a new video :)
Thanks for the great info. I liked how you explained about what is necessary to help each other with harmony and be better people.
I was eating a green tea mochi and suddenly thought of mrs.eats.
I try never to miss any of Mrs Eats videos.
This was a very nice video with some very good information.
Your vids have always been awesome. Lately they're getting even more with positive messages. Keep being amazing, Mrs & Mr Eats!
Thank you so much!
#4 is gold
Thank you both, Mr. & Mrs.Eats. I think I'll make an effort to try these tips to help better my lifestyle, too.👍
I needed every one of those tips 🤯 Thank you so much for posting!
Wow perfect timing
Love your show!!!
Definitely agree with the kotodama concept. For anyone who wants to change the soundtrack of your brain, I recommend the book, Soundtracks by Jon Acuff. It's about that very concept. The power of words.
Thank you for sharing! These videos are always so uplifting! This may sound a little weird, but some Japanese advice that has really helped me was about cleaning the toilet. I have OCD and anxiety, so I used to stress out over cleaning the toilet because it’s gross and not fun (germs 😓) But then I saw a Japanese video about cleaning that said if you can change the (negative) way you think about cleaning your toilet and turn it into something positive, it can make you a hard, successful worker. It totally changed my perspective and now I don’t dread this simple chore- in fact, I’ve gotten really good at it! But I had to work on it a little bit every day. I can’t wait to add the positive lessons from this video into my life! We definitely need more harmony in the U.S. right now, so I will be the change I want to see in the world! ありがとございます ❤
じゃまたね
Thank you for the video. That was some beautiful advise and I plan on sharing it with friends and family.
Thanks again and have a wonderful day.
You are so welcome!
What''s really impressive is how walking-friendly Japan is. In my country, for example (somewhere in South America that's mainly known for beauty pageant queens and other negative things), only in parks you can walk easily. From what I've seen of Japan (not only Tokyo), the roads and streets are quite comfortable to walk in without the fear of a motorbike/car running you over, or that you might not find a walking path. The one city in my continent I can think of that is as walkable is Buenos Aires, I enjoyed my walks there (and Madrid in Europe)
I work from home, but if I lived in a place like Japan, damn would I walk my butt off with gusto.
Thank you so much for the tips. sometimes its easy to get down on oneself but have to remember to give myself grace and try again. I appreciate the message and love you mr and mrs Eats. you always bring smile to my heart.
Absolutely!!
Thanks
After being introduced to Coolish and having it at least once daily on my trip to Japan, I trust this channel with my soul.
You have the Ueda symbol in the background!!! Samurai ❤ Love it!!!
0:46, interesting
I love you guys.
I’m Greek and I have been living in Sweden for 14 years. Japan is a dream destination of mine and I want to visit it someday. The Harmony point is something I experience a lot in Sweden as well, so politics or other subjects like this, are not things you would discuss in a gathering.
I loved all the points and I want to absorb and implement as many Japanese lifestyle habits and mindsets, as possible ❤
I’m very appreciative of what you are doing with your videos for us 🙏
Wonderful video. Having a healthier life is important to me, and I'm working on refreshing my home so that I don't stay in my usual pattern.
You got this!
By far the biggest impact to a country's health metrics (like lifespan, infant mortality, etc.) is the country's wealth and how well it's distributed.
Pre WW2 Japan's health metrics were similar to it's regional peers like China, only drastically improving during it's post WW2 economic boom.
Currently on things like life expectancy; Japan is a only marginally ahead of other (USA excluded) developed countries and that is with several times less obesity (JPN's rate is
Thanks for the info, I need to follow them
You can do it!! Which one did you feel most useful?
@@MrsEats 1st one eating chicken 1 piece and 🍚
Oh triangle eating! Yes it's very useful! Just eat a little bit at a time and try everything!! It works!!
@@MrsEats Thank you🤩
@@MrsEats definitely - harmony!
New Mrs. Eats, yes!
Thank you!!
wow it so nice to hear me also I'm doing exercises everyday
Very helpful video indeed, something small as making your bed every morning. Can set you off on the right foot.
This is really good life advice! Japan, like all countries, has much to teach the world ❤🤍.
Very good video.
Watching you on tv ❤
Thank you!! I'm watching too lol!!
@@MrsEats ❤️🥰
Hmm. Never thought of eating that way, may have to give it a try!
Canadian: much the same here with me & my peeps except Politics. Politics is Canada's Other Favourite Full Contact Sport. But seriously, great vidi. Very inspiring 😎☕💋
i have to figure out the 80% full thing
i do walk as much as i can
i cut back on soda and switched to sparkling water and normal water
i have to do more movement. i live alone now so i can do some home workouts. i live in a one bedroom apartment so i can get creative
I always look forward to your videos. Today has kind of been a rough day and I really found myself dwelling on a lot of negativity. I guess the timing was perfect for you two to pop up just to remind me to shift my mindset. 😀😀😀😀
I'm so glad! You can do it!!
This is really great advice for people outside of Japan to have a better life. Better eating, positive thinking, conflict avoidance for better relationships. That being said, none of us are perfect. Neither on an individual basis nor as a country. Is there a time and place in Japan where the imperfections can be discussed ? If so, I'm sure it's being done respectfully. If not, I'm concerned that problems are simply being swept under the proverbial rug. I can truly testify to the respect in Japanese culture from what I experienced during my travels to the country. Both towards things that everyone uses, and towards each other.
My Japanese friend just returned to the US from visiting her home in Japan. I want to visit Japan so much.🫡
I eventually planning to stay in Japan for at least 3 weeks to a month. I definitely need to get healthy.
I'm pretty sure I was Japanese in a former life because I already did most of this stuff naturally.
おはよう
今日はどうだった
I always appreciate your videos about Japanese culture I learn something new every time ありがとうございます
I will have to give being more positive a try
I'm an American and I know I was raised being told never talk about politics, religion or money with people to avoid conflict about differing views on these things.
I watched this whilst at the pub drinking a Sunday beer. So im sure, its not a great example of good habits.😅 That said, this was a very nice video 🇯🇵👍👍🇯🇵
#6 - My brain is highly organized clutter. 😆
It's funny, I actually do triangle eating naturally. It's not satisfying to me to eat all of one thing first and so on. I never knew triangle eating was a thing in Japan until this video.
So much truth here. Americans could learn so much from beautiful Asian culture and traditions.
In america we used to have more harmony, there used to be the "three things" you never diacuss outside private conversations. Those three were politics, sex, and religion. Now all three are fair game and it is causing a lot of rifts
Only eat until 80% full, but don't you dare leave rice on your plate. Starts sweating in gaijin.
I agree with all of these things BUT #6 too I think this is true: “A bit of a slob isn't he? All brilliant men are.”
Oh Japan you wonderful confusing place. One day I will get there. I wanna see the Sakura on bloom
Another awesome video!
Gonna skip the tip on the thumbnail though of using your toothbrush to clean a toilet seat. ;)
I'm one that subscribes to the idea that words are vibrations, and as such they reverberate and influence other things and people vibrating nearby. But that said, words in and of themselves have no meaning. I can turn to you and say "massa!", and it will strike no chords in you. You have to be taught what it is supposed to mean, then you will rebuild the memory whenever you hear the word. The word has power when you're able to reconstruct its meaning in your mind and heart. That said, it's useless to hold in "bad" words and fabricate dishonest "good" words, that's just blowing empty wind. The true source of vibration is in your mind, so you have to address that's throwing it off balance, instead of trying to brainwash yourself out of your mood. No amount of "I am happy" will fix someone who's depressed, and refraining from expressing one's pain will only make it worse, as pain and suffering tends to ferment in the mind. Kotodama is useful for setting intentions. It doesn't solve problems.
Ah, Harmony. I sincerely think it's a beautiful concept in theory, but a disaster in practice. It breeds cowardice and avoidant behaviour. It breeds disasters such as the Johnny Kitagawa serial sexual abuse of boys, in which no one intervened, even when law demanded so, for the sake of ✨ harmony,✨, and just let the case die until western media and a brazilian talent decided to stand up. Even the journalist from the BBC was flabbergasted at japanese people's indifference and avoidance, as it's a "disharmonious subject" to talk about. I personally found it to be of inhumane coldness to turn one's back to the suffering of kids who couldn't defend themselves because first and foremost is ✨harmony✨. It breeds black companies, labor abuses, moral abuses, It breeds increasing child abuse, it breeds increase in tachimbos in kabukicho and elsewhere, it breeds people walking into train lines seeking for some respite for having nothing they could count on. So much for a society that proudly proclaims mindfulness and respect for others. Well, definitely not their human rights, nor their struggles. Have a cardiac arrest in the middle of shibuya cross, and be sure that far from being helped, as you're an egoistic asshole that breaks everyone's ✨harmony✨ by becoming an unexpected hurdle when they're busy, no less, they will criticize you, perhaps even say you deserve to just pass away to make the world a better place. Just like "human accidents" of people jumping in front of trains are seen but an egoistic act of the desperate, who dares breaking the ✨ harmony ✨ of the living, causing them to be late to their errands. People are unable to give their seats to disabled, even if they have that unnecessary tag stating their condition for all to see. And upon criticism, the japanese say it's the disabled man that should personally ask for someone to give up their seat. ✨Harmony✨ prevents the japanese from standing out and disrupting what's comunnally comfortable, and I sincerely see no nobility about avoiding discomfort. My understanding of true harmony, true nobility, is dealing with discomfort, pain, even violence, with the grace of an aikido master, that strives for a spaciousness of heart that isn't tainted by external negativity, and that is even grateful for it, as they pave the way for one's growth. I do think people should be able to deal with life, as it really is, because that's where we are, with an open spirit, not a reactive one, and change adversity into opportunity, instead of clamming up at the slight break in routine. Hiding up conflict under the rug because it feels bad to deal with it won't make it go away. I see true respect from people that are upfront to show their weapons and stand as equals. There's no honor in cowards that put on smiley masks hiding their knives behind their backs because of ✨harmony✨.
Mrs Eats, you are s cute and funny. You crack me up.
Iyan ang lihim ng mga Hapon kung bakit mahahaba ang kanilang mga buhay
Excellent video and excellent eringi earrings (' ')b
Thank you! 😊
💕
👍
❤
Would living in Okinawa forever count as well?
Yes! They do many of the thing we mention in this video!!
The problem with "keep the harmony" is that very often it becomes "keep the status quo". Western countries (sometimes only specific ones) are the best place in the world for Women's right, Queer rights, Non-native rights, Workers rights, Animals rights, and many more, because people didn't keep the harmony they stood up and demanded better rights.
Fortunately for many of us, going out for some Fakkin is NOT a tip for enjoying a healthier life. 😇
What do you say at the end of your videos?, I keep hearing 大きに
That's right! It's Kansai dialect for 'Thank You!
However, after living in Japan, I would like to say that their (sorry) obsession with harmony also has its downsides. The famous Japanese meltdowns can occur after essentially accumulating negative feelings and not expressing them at all. Even some Japanese people I met preferred the “Western” way and a more direct approach to issues.
Any idea can be taken to too much extreme. Bottling everything up forever is bad, especially when something has gone wrong in a relationship and someone is hurting you and the only way to address it is to speak up about it, but it's also maybe not the best idea to just start an argument at dinner over politics while everyone is trying to eat and enjoy their meal. There's a time and place for everything, and I think a lot of people just never learn that, and either do too much (Americans) or too little (Japanese). Healthy communication can be hard wherever you are from.
So eating less and more disciplined while increasing physical activity leads to a healthier life? Well who knew!
USA don't know this
Interestingly enough, in the cyberworld Japanese tend to be rude maybe because it's a way to loose steam and it's anonymous. This is not my personal opinion but the opinion of Japanese CZcamsrs like Nobita San, Yuta San and Meshida San.
I urge all American guys who live alone to sit down when you pee. I swear that makes cleaning the bathroom a lot less gross.
I agree with all the topics except avoiding controversial topics. It's our national sport in France hahaha. You can disagree with the other person as long as you think his opinions are legitimate.
It’s like Dr. Jordan Peterson says, “make your bed”
I have two words, intermittent fasting”
0:22: 💡 Japanese people have six habits for a healthy and long life, including triangle eating, eating until 80% full, and moving more.
2:26: 🇯🇵 Japanese culture emphasizes the importance of appreciation and taking care of things.
5:28: 🇯🇵 Appreciation and positive thinking are important in Japanese culture.
8:17: 🌟 The video discusses the power of positive language and the importance of maintaining harmony in relationships.
11:09: 🧹 Cleaning and organizing your home can help regain control and improve your mental state.
Recap by Tammy AI
Lots of great tips here for sure. I think the harmony part has a dark side though. Harmony is great if you’re someone who fits in, but if you’re someone who is considered disharmonious because your existence doesn’t comport with what the majority, then it’s not such a great philosophy for you. I think there’s a reason that the LGBT community is in a worse place in Japan.
Who eats first the chicken, then the salad, then...???
I mean there are those people who believe that this helps you slim down (because it makes a boring meal), but those aside? Personally, if it's possible, I lilke to mix everything together.
As for the 80% thing I once heard a nice description in a German documentary: You don't eat until you are full, you eat until you are satisfied.
Live in U.S. and it's definitely filthy. Nobody takes care or pride in anything for public
Of course not! It is something the damn government is doing!!!
If you have so many people who believe that everything a group (other than their own group) is doing is bad, then you can't get appreciation or pride.
You're so beautiful
If you want "more harmony" with other person just to keep that friendship, then you are exploiting that friendship. "more harmony" means less sincerity. I want the opposite. If someone can't handle the truth, find someone else sooner then after 10 years of some relationship (of any kind). Other people thoughts, ideas, believes.... do not bothers me at all, we can talk and discuss, but the only thing i hate is insincerity and just because time is wasted. It is not about "more harmony" but more understanding and accepting differences. Americans are not very open into discussions, but come to Europe to experience art of arguing about everything (mediteranean countries).
your channel meantions eating but you're not eating in this video
Dear Westerners,
please take notes and learn
