I used to think my grandma was exaggerating when she told me that “a clean cotton bedsheet is better than thousands of silk and fancy bed clothes” as I gained more experience in life I now know how accurate and wise her sayings. Sending lots of love from Egypt.
Same here! Even when I'm downhearted or sick, I feel like "Well, I still feel like shit, but look at that pretty bathroom!" It makes me laugh and feel better.
I wanted to clean my room from the moment I saw the thumbnail! Depression and mental health can be large barriers to go through in order to clean, but it always feels better if you can beat "the bad brain". Please keep making videos if you love it, I always enjoy watching!
Cardio in the morning and an energy booster helps with cleaning in depression. Ya it’s hard to do, you truly have to push yourself but it helps when you really push at the beginning 🙂 Best of luck. Depression was not fun, and I never want to have it again.
@@IHealLiving I really need to try to switch my gym routine to the morning again. You're right that it helps. I appreciate the advice and encouragement
The Asian Community has always had their homes so clean and organized it's mindblowing. They are always so Zen with everythng that they do. This man is so right on. I feel happy to come home to a Clean Home. Less Mess, Less Stress. You feel more organized and relaxed, and you know where everything is.
Aki, I used to be a life long hoarder, then spent all of 2023 clearing my entire house myself because I was tired living in a prison made of junk. Soon after, I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Fortunately, having a clean house has helped lift my spirits and making life easier, which in turn, has helped me heal, which would have not been possible if I still lived in a messy house. This is a lovely video reminding, educating and confirming us on the value of a clean house. Domo 🙏❤️🙏
I cleaned my bathroom first thing when I woke up and it felt amazing. I will be cleaning my house this weekend. Your videos are inspiring. I love the way you talk.
I have ALWAYS LOVED cleaning as it allows me to show the UTMOST GRATITUDE for the BLESSINGS I have received ....Ie, the roof over my head, the furniture that keeps me comfortable, the heat that keeps me warm....etc I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I read a mental health advise piece one day. "The state of your environment represents the state of your mind". I concur with this absolutely. I notice myself how hard it is to organize my thoughts while sitting in a messy and cluttered room. Something iv noticed is you can train yourself to become intolerant of mess and uncleanness. If you are a person who keeps your home in a tip-top, clean, tidy and organized state you develop 'spidy senses'. You can walk into a tidy and organized room but still feel irritated by it. If you stop and look more closely you will notice dust buildup on ledges, marks on walls, spider webs building up in corners of ceiling and a floor that needs a good vacuum or mopping. You develop a strong sense for cleanliness. Personally, although I fully agree that a clean, tidy and and organized home is a great thing to aspire to maintain, it can develop into an obsessive compulsive drive that also leads to social, family and mental health problems. My advise is to be realistic with house keeping. Life happens and having a life is important, so if you start loosing your temper or displaying irritability with your family over trivial things like food or drink being spilt on the floor, crumbs left on the bench, untidy bedrooms or un-made beds etc, take a breath and get a bloody grip on yourself! There is no need to start screwing your family up and creating anxiety issues in your kids over such trivial things. Teaching our children to not sweat the small stuff is important too!
I think something happened to me during the pandemic and it’s been harder for me to consistently keep my spaces clean. This was really helpful and it makes so much sense! I love your attitude. Thanks for the research!!
That was such a beautiful video and i could not agree more. Cleaning/tidying gives us the impression that we are on top of things and that we love and respect ourselves. A cluttered and dirty space is like a silent to do list, confronting us with all the things we need to do, always feeling behind on things, always playing catch up instead of enjoying and creating the life we want to live❤❤❤
I am definitely not a minimalist but I always keep my space clean and organized. I feel stressed and anxious when my environment is not clean. Thank you or another great video!
"Babe wake up, new Samurai Matcha video is out." Your channel has helped me a lot in enjoying the small things, like cleaning and having a clutter free environment.
I plan to use the quiet days after christmas to clean and declutter ...may sound a bit strange to use a holiday for this , but during the busy year I have not had the chance , and I will enjoy getting ready for the new year .
cleaning is so important for my mental health. a neglected room feels like a heavy weight in my mind and body. some important reasons off this list are: the DIY mentality, noticing the little things, and reduced distractions (focus). i have a morning routine, nightly routine. a little cleaning here and there really does add up
I wholeheartedly agree! I'm a kind of a clean freak so I'm cleaning and tidying around everyday as I love living in a clutter free, fresh and clean home 😊 I find it therapeutic and I'm very happy indeed 😊 ciao from Italy!
I love and enjoy cleaning a lot. It's like sort of a Meditation for me. I follow my personal routine and its so great. I clean my flat after work and it relaxes me after a full day at school. I only clean 30 to 40 min at 3 days per week and it feels so good. (Of course I used to clean my kitchen and bathroom every day but not dusting every day)
Oh Aki, you are always so inspiring. As a young person I was fanatical about cleaning, but now that I am older it has become a struggle to keep up. Illness can certainly drastically decrease one's energy. But now, it is time to use the winter months to focus on cleaning and tidying, sorting and parting with things I no longer need. A good way to make room for new experiences and make sure that, when I depart from this life, I will not leave piles of things for my minimalist daughter to dispose of. That said, I love Japanese art, and have collected several books on the topic, along with scroles found at Estate Sales. It is difficult to part with pieces of art, and other treasures one is fond of, so instead, I will group them together and display in the space I have made. Of course, your mother was right about not wasting time looking for things, sometimes it is only when we become older that we appreciate, just how wise our parents were!
Couldn't it be just the other way round? You are able to clean up BECAUSE you are happy? I understand from many comments that it's very hard with depression.
Gr-o-a-n ! Aki, I just sat down and my cats have piled in on top of me. But hey! I've done lots of cleaning this morning already, and walked a mile in fierce wind and rain. I love a clean house. Tidy? Hm, not so much, but clean is pleasant. Your video, as always, is upbeat and encouraging. I've learnt a lot from you too, about sending excess items on their way, and how pleasing it can be to have a few empty spaces. Thank you.
Inspiration: I'm watching a tiny bit of this video then getting up and doing one thing, then watching a little more of the video. It's a relief for my apartment to finally be clean!
amazing! I had never thought of cleaning as anything other than drudgery. Thank you for opening my eyes to the opportunities this habit can bring into someone's life :)
Watching your videos make me realise the aspects of life I've been ignoring, and was also seeking into my professional and personal life. Thanks for this video, lets get cleaning!
Your energy is so positive, it makes me smile. I had never really thought about this cleaning obligation as something that could increase well-being, but it does make sense. Yes. I will change my attitude. Thanks!!
Thank you for this motivational video😍. A year and 3 months ago this month, I fell down the stairs, while on meds for Covid, sprained both of my ankles after I’d already sprained one of them 3 months earlier. It was one thing after another and things really piled up in my place. I’m still digging myself out of the mess, after previously being a very neat and tidy person. It’s amazing how fast things can go South without continual maintenance! If you start out ahead of the game( neat and orderly), these unexpected circumstances won’t set you back as much!
I love the energy you have! I am working on multiple projects right now and my house is an organized mess however I can fell the frustration building. I truly enjoy a clean and organized home. " Everything has a place and should be put back in it's place" this is my motto. 😍
Nice video! I enjoy cleaning, the fact that between my parents and my older brother I’m the cleanest. I grew up cleaning the house since I was young for monthly allowance every Saturday. It was a chore and didn’t under stand before except earning money, but as I grew up and don’t earn money for cleaning my parents house(jobs) I actually came to love cleaning. Often would feel bad if I missed a week. Other times when I’m bored, I naturally find myself cleaning my room or even my brothers’.
Danke ❤ich habe noch vor dem Frühstück das Bad gemacht , Betten bezogen durch gesaugt , Glastür geputzt ,und Maniküre und Pediküre gemacht und fühle mich so toll
So true this is. As tiring as it is and may be sometimes, the clean tidy look and atmosphere it gives off after is sooo therapeutic, you do feel tired but also content quietly 😃🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
it's nice that you inspire and motivate us to take pleasure in simple everyday things. thank you. But I would like to say that many videos that are aimed at our personal growth, create stress about where we spend our time. i mean i think it is human to spend our time on unproductive things as well. to understand what i mean maybe in your case you have zero time searching for things (which you consider a waste of time) but there will be something else you do that is not productive. everything is subjective. maybe watching self-improvement videos is a worse waste of time than spending 5 minutes looking for where your charger is. It's all about how satisfied we are with our daily goals and by extension, the meaning we have given to our lives.❤❤❤❤
I was having a little trouble getting starting with my cleaning today, ( I'd been working outside and was tired 😅) but i really need to get cleaning done and thought you know whose great at inspiring me to clean? Aki! Thanks for once again being a source of inspiration 💜
There is some truth to it though. When you don"t clean/tidy you tend to forget where stuff are and you end up buying stuff you already have but can"t find. That"s money you could"ve saved. That"s more income.
I think when it becomes habit versus a chore it makes a difference. It goes from something you have to do to “who you are” or a part of yourself. Clean environments are the physical extension of how a person thinks.
This is really so true! Even if you just tidy up a bit, it makes you feel so much better!! I occasionally watch "Hoarders" to kick start me into purging unwanted stuff, which leads to a cleaner area 😅🎉!
I watch a number of channels involving restorations of old vehicles and items, also folks cleaning badly cluttered homes and yards in need of trimming. I’m always struck by the amount of vermin nests discovered, the amount of junk buried under uncut grass. Cleaning up random brush/stick piles around the property of the house I’m renting, I found a child’s bicycle that I hadn’t noticed after months of being here. I made a half dozen trips to the local tip and landfill cleaning up under the front/back deck, inside the large four-room shed in the backyard at the bottom of the hill: industrial garbage bags slam-full and assorted broken stuff loaded in my car to the hilt. It amazes me people will just leave rubbish around like that, piling up. I prefer a neat, mouse nest-free, hassle-free environment.
It's incredible how my mood improves just by watching your videos. Thank you! And I like that luck and carry ist the same symbol. Now I see cleaning equal as take care ❤
I believe in cleaning and its completely true what you are saying many people asks me how i coup living alone the fact is am never lonely or stressed,i get stressed when am in a dirty or disorganised place,after cleaning the next thing making delicious food sense of taste also very important
I did this at work one time. I totally organized my work environment and the same job that I was doing seemed to magically get a lot easier. I finished everything quicker and had a lot more free time.
Your English is awesome!!! You got no japanese accent! I love Japan and Japanese people. I've lived in Tokyo for 13 years working as a professional international fashion model. It was amazing!❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹
I am enjoying your videos. I agree with all the reasons! I have been too ill to clean for quite some time, and I miss being able to clean. I hope some day soon I will be able to do it again. :D Happy cleaning!
Even before listening to this video I had started to do this (thanks to God)! I noticed more than anything, I felt more focused and it helped me instantly with procrastination. I become organized and managed my time better. I had actually got to a point that I would rather clean than work, and I know I went too far LOL, so now I work and use cleaning as a reward during breaks. Now I will finish watching the video and I am sure it will confirm most, if not all of what I just said above.
👍🏼 I believe I do that in school days. Better should keep up those habits now. Thank you Samurai Matcha your video helps to reassure why we have to hold such routine. 🙏🏼
I have been working with my space a lot more and making sure to do daily cleaning and it makes a difference in how everything feels. Slowly working on my making my spaces more functional and have better flow.
Thank you for your video. I've always felt inspired by feng shui and its emphasis on "paying the price" of you dont clean and organize your home. I'm someone who picks up a lot from my surroundings, so my environment has to be as clean as possible at least a few days a week as I have a young child. The Vedas dont recommend cleaning on Thursday, so that's a day I let the dust collect. It's not easy as I have a lot of Virgo. Also, don't sweep after dark. I use bleach with water to wash my dishes. Every time I'm in a bad mood and don't know why, I'll find a place in my immediate environment that needs cleaning. Cleanliness is next to godliness.❤❤My grandmother used to say, "Don't get mad, just start cleaning. " When I sit in a public space, I always change my clothes before sitting in my home. No one in my home is ever sick for long.
My adult kids say, "Mom is cleaning. Mom, are you stressed?" Ha! It's true that I stress clean, so deep cleaning. But basic cleaning just gives me peace of mind. I definitely noticed when my surroundings are clean.
It’s true.. staying clean and keeping surroundings clean is a big thing.. honestly your heart feels so good! But here in India it’s very daunting and challenging task!! Lot of resistance from fellow folks..
Got up to clean as soon as the video ended....I usualy hate cleaning and tiding up. Parhapse I just need to turn it upside down. ...thanks for the inspiration😊❤
A clean, orderly space is so important, and in so many ways! Thank you for such good information. I really like the beads you're wearing- what are they? 🙂
Even deep cleaning, decluttering and resetting one part of your room makes such a difference.
I used to think my grandma was exaggerating when she told me that “a clean cotton bedsheet is better than thousands of silk and fancy bed clothes” as I gained more experience in life I now know how accurate and wise her sayings. Sending lots of love from Egypt.
Thank you sooo much for teaching me your beautiful story! She is special😍
Yes I recently just got them to clean cotton bedsheets myself and it was very life-changing
I consider cleaning not only as caring for my home, but also as caring for myself. An untidy house stresses me to no end.
Tbh cleaning helps me to stay motivated. If I feel down and Im unable to do anything, cleaning will rise me up again. Its so powerful!
Same here! Even when I'm downhearted or sick, I feel like "Well, I still feel like shit, but look at that pretty bathroom!" It makes me laugh and feel better.
Movement is so good when sick. Plus when you clean all the bad bacteria, you tend to not get a reoccurring illness 🙂
I wanted to clean my room from the moment I saw the thumbnail! Depression and mental health can be large barriers to go through in order to clean, but it always feels better if you can beat "the bad brain". Please keep making videos if you love it, I always enjoy watching!

It’s not that people who clean make more money but people who make more money can afford cleaning help and, therefore, tend to live in cleaner spaces.
There is some truth to it though.
When you don"t clean/tidy you tend to forget where stuff are and you end up buying stuff you already have but can"t find. That"s money you could"ve saved. That"s more income.
It is true for both scenarios. I also think personality traits plays a role too.
Thanks!
I loved this video so much. Finally someone who is as passionate about cleaning as me!
I guess the Japanese people have the knack for it. Guess they have to with those small apartaments.

I cleaned my dresser off yesterday. I found somethings I hadn't seen in awhile. It was a relief that i finally took care of it. 🥰
Yes cleaning calms me❤
I have been working with my space a lot more and making sure to do daily cleaning and it makes a difference in how everything feels. Slowly working on my making my spaces more functional and have better flow.
I agree with ALL of this!! 😊 You are my favorite Japanese UA-camr!
What a great video! So inspirational 😊
Your post is so well organized! I'm going to clean my bathroom now❤
Thanks GOD! for this very inspiring knowledge about our daily routine..starting with a small things..that makes a lot.. more power to you!!!
I am currently busting out my entire creative art room, every time i do I get a load of ideas and write great work that same day.
Thank you for your video. I've always felt inspired by feng shui and its emphasis on "paying the price" of you dont clean and organize your home. I'm someone who picks up a lot from my surroundings, so my environment has to be as clean as possible at least a few days a week as I have a young child. The Vedas dont recommend cleaning on Thursday, so that's a day I let the dust collect. It's not easy as I have a lot of Virgo. Also, don't sweep after dark. I use bleach with water to wash my dishes. Every time I'm in a bad mood and don't know why, I'll find a place in my immediate environment that needs cleaning. Cleanliness is next to godliness.❤❤My grandmother used to say, "Don't get mad, just start cleaning. " When I sit in a public space, I always change my clothes before sitting in my home. No one in my home is ever sick for long.
Your positive attitude is just amazing! ❤
i love your VERY POSITIVE ENERGY AND VIBES.....YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!

Thank you sooo much！Okagesama 😁
My adult kids say, "Mom is cleaning. Mom, are you stressed?" Ha! It's true that I stress clean, so deep cleaning. But basic cleaning just gives me peace of mind. I definitely noticed when my surroundings are clean.
It’s true.. staying clean and keeping surroundings clean is a big thing.. honestly your heart feels so good! But here in India it’s very daunting and challenging task!! Lot of resistance from fellow folks..
Why difficult in India?I live in south India and I love cleaning my home.And most of the homes are kept clean.
@ me too.. but our cities our roads are dirty because we keep it that way.. it’s just not home
Our roads hills beaches all need to clean..
Arigato, dear Aki-san, your videos are always helpful and really inspiring! Stay safe and healthy.🙏😊🍁
