🌿✨Why Emotional Intelligence and Acceptance Matter More Than Just Being Smart

🌿✨賢さよりも、感情的知性と受容が成功の鍵である理由

In today’s fast-paced world, being “smart” and academically successful is often highly valued.�But what truly shapes lasting success, well-being, and healthy relationships?�The answer lies in Emotional Intelligence and Acceptance.
As a clinical psychologist, family court expert, and a mom,�I’ve seen how people thrive more from emotional support and understanding than from being pressured to “be smart.”
📚 In this article (available in both Japanese and English),�I share how we can better support our children—and ourselves—through emotional intelligence and acceptance.�You’ll learn how to foster emotional resilience and build healthier relationships at home and beyond.

🔗 Read in English:�https://medium.com//the-heart-of-wellness-how-emotional-intelligence-can-improve-your-life-39edb6bfc8f6

📚この記事（日本語と英語の両方で読めます）
現代のスピード社会では、「賢さ」や学力が重視されがちです。�でも、真の成功や幸せ、健やかな人間関係を築く鍵は何でしょうか？�その答えは——**感情的知性と受容（アクセプタンス）**にあります。
私は臨床心理士として、家庭裁判所の専門家として、母として、�「賢さ」よりも「心の知性」によって、人が本当に伸び、癒される姿を何度も見てきました。�子どもたちを心から支えるために、そして大人も自分自身の心に寄り添うために、�感情的知性の育て方や、日々の関わりに活かせる視点をお届けしています。

🌿 Have you ever felt emotionally drained, foggy, and overstimulated—even after doing “nothing”?
You’re not alone. I see this every day in my therapy practice.

After working with hundreds of clients over the years, I began to recognize a pattern I now call Overstimulation Syndrome—a state of mental, emotional, and physical overwhelm caused by our fast-moving, screen-heavy, always-on world.

It's not a clinical diagnosis. It's just real.

And here’s the hard truth:
🧠 We can’t keep waiting until the weekend to feel human again.
Our nervous systems need daily care—just like our bodies, our minds, and our hearts.

I recently wrote a new article about how to gently recover from this daily overstimulation with simple, doable practices like:
☀️ morning light
🍃 short nature walks
🌬 Mindful breathing
🤍 emotional check-ins
📵 creating digital boundaries
🌀 somatic tools to come back to yourself

I also share insights from my book, The Journey to Self, which offers a foundation for emotional intelligence, healing, and self-love—through both science and soul.

If you or someone you care about has been feeling overstimulated, scattered, or burnt out, I hope this article offers a breath of relief.

🎄✨ Happy Holidays! ✨🎄

🌟 New Article Alert! 🌟

This holiday season I’m happy to share with you my new Medium post: "Self in the Family: Make It Your Business to Care For Your Family".

As we help and nurture others, we tend to neglect our own health. This article explores why it is important to be able to take care of oneself within the family environment and provides practical tips on how to keep balance. When we take care of ourselves, we can take care of those we love the most.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

Recognizing how to find a healthy intersection between your own needs and your family’s needs.
Remarkable advice for taking care of yourself without feeling guilty.
Positive impact of the well-rounded self on kinship.
I also think taking care of ourselves is not narcissistic, but vital to good and healthy relationships. I invite you to read and comment on how you take care of yourself in your family life.

🚀 Unlock the Power of Your Mind through Visualization! 🧠✨
In today’s fast-paced, digital world, we process 90% of information visually. From work to social media, our brains are constantly taking in images. But did you know that enhancing your visualization skills can improve memory, focus, and even emotional resilience?
🔍 Visualization isn't just seeing; it's about strengthening cognitive function and event memory—a crucial part of how we remember experiences, connect emotions, and process information. Studies show that visual learners retain up to 65% more information, making visualization a key tool for success.
