the rice ball fills out slowly, and the second bite finds the plum
Today is Shoman, grain buds. In the traditional calendar it is when plants and creatures grow and begin to fill out, not all at once but little by little.
Think of a rice ball where the filling reaches just to the middle. Your first bite might miss it. The second bite gets there. That's the kind of full this season is about.
Aim for about eighty percent today: at meals, at work, in what you expect of yourself. A little room left over is part of feeling good.
Try this today
- Stop eating when you're about eighty percent full
- Make or buy one rice ball
- Count one thing you finished today
