2023November

Hi, Hello.
The Kanto region is surrounded by warm and cheerful weather、、、
It seems that it will be winter all at once from tomorrow.

On Saturday, November 25th, the 69th General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company will be held.
In addition to the general meeting, there will be an employee representative meeting (the first meeting) in the morning and a section manager meeting in the afternoon, so you must be well prepared, including physical condition management.

We are also grateful to the shareholders who have supported the company for a year, and we have prepared high-quality confectionery.
At the head office in Tokyo, people related to our company will come from far away, so even as a small student, we have no time to prepare. I would like to respond not only to the general meeting, but also to the meeting from the morning.

The company has already started its 70th fiscal year. I will be 70 years old on November 26 next year.
We asked a professional designer to create a wonderful 70th anniversary commemorative logo.

Thank you very much for designing a wonderful logo. I would like to express my gratitude again.
I would like to immediately attach it to a business card and let the people concerned know about it.

1954Our company, which was born in Showa 29, will celebrate its 70th anniversary in November next year.
It's still a year away, but we're already planning a big event and want to celebrate it in a big way.

I really want to make it memorable as a festival event that is rarely held, but in the remaining year
I would like to elaborate it firmly, so please look forward to it.

First of all, I would like to hold tomorrow's General Meeting of Shareholders without delay and complete the culmination of the 69th fiscal year.
Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Hi, Hello.
It's getting cold.
Compared to last week, I feel a temperature difference of more than 10°C.
As expected, if there is such a temperature difference, some people will get sick.

Even in my immediate vicinity, I am worried that there are people who suffer from colds.
Please be careful about your physical condition.

I say that it is the change of seasons, but I think it is very difficult to keep up with such changes.

Isn't it the season when you should pay close attention not only to your physical condition but also to your mental health?

{Unpleasant emotions and sensations such as stress, irritability, anxiety, and depression occur with the change of seasons and changes in life.
Furthermore, when unpleasant emotions arise due to human relationships, work efficiency, etc., it seems that the act of releasing dopamine in the brain is used as a quick way to eliminate such feelings.
"Overeating, internet, smartphones, gambling, etc."
○ You don't eat because you're really hungry
○ Avoid the anxiety of saying "I can't calm down unless I see it" rather than because I really need information
○ I can't stand the boredom of just sitting on the train, and I look at SNS to disguise it.
○ I don't want to go, but I can't quit until I stop by an entertainment facility and beat the machine.

Stimuli and interesting articles release a "pleasure substance" called dopamine in the brain. When this is released in the brain, it feels good and temporarily relieves stress. However, since the duration of dopamine is short, unpleasant emotions and sensations will eventually attack again. Then, in order to avoid it, they wander around the Internet in search of more stimulating and interesting topics. This leads to even more stress, and a vicious cycle arises in order to deceive again.

So how do we deal with this situation? It is to be aware that our attention is easily wandering, and to pay close attention to what we are experiencing in front of us.

For example, even if you are eating, do not eat while thinking, but eat while savoring it.
When listening to people, do not listen while rushing to come up with a solution, but listen carefully while paying attention to the emotions and facial expressions of the speaker.
When you are stressed, you can feel where in your body you are feeling it, and what kind of sensation it feels like. When you feel and accept what you experience as it is, the quality of your experience in the moment will obviously change, and you will be able to gain something great from it.
Also, by feeling the state of stress firmly, you will be able to gently notice the behavior that is required of you and give yourself the necessary treatment.
However, it is not easy or easy to acquire these attitudes and skills. It still takes training, but one way to make it possible is called mindfulness.

「Mindfulness" is a word that means "kizuki" and is defined in modern times as "intentional attention and awareness at this moment without making value judgments." ｝
＜マインドフルネスの視点から見たストレスとの関わり方～慶應大学　保険管理センター教授著より一部抜粋いたしました。＞

It seems that there are mindfulness therapies that are also used by people suffering from depression and neurological diseases, but I will omit the details in this blog.

I have excerpted from the booklet in the hope that it will be a hint and awareness for those who are mentally tired in this modern society of Ima to live better.

Hi, Hello.
The first half of November this year is very difficult to manage my physical condition.
Just the other day, the maximum temperature was about 27 ° C, which was the first time in 100 years that the temperature in November was happening.
After today, it is said that it will be as cold as a teacher's run at once. I think it's very difficult to keep up with your physical condition.

In such a case, the best meal is a hot pot that warms up the body at once.
In the cold season, we also have lunch boxes at the lunch shop, and we have a hot pot every day while sweating.
It is no exaggeration to say that our bodies are created from our daily diet.
It is also necessary to make an effort to devise hot and cold foods that are suitable for the season, according to the time of year.
But I digress.

Well, it was about a year ago. As I reported on this blog, a group of second-grade children from a nearby elementary school visited our company as a social studies field trip and learned a lot.

Under the guidance of the teacher, various questions came up from the question sheet I prepared, so I answered them slowly so that I could understand.

This kind of social studies field trip is not a recent one, but a connection that has been around for a long time, and according to what I heard, some of our drivers visited our company through such a social studies field trip, and I always felt that there was something close to me that I could contribute to society.

In the hope that some of the children this time will probably become employees of this company in the future, we responded to them firmly and did our best to respond to them, from the site tour & photography, to the loading of the large truck, to the cockpit test drive experience, although it was a short time.

It was said that another second-grade elementary school student was scheduled to visit next week, so we responded well and felt that the company would be fortunate if you could feel a wonderful experience with your whole body that you can't usually do.

If you look at the news these days, you will see that in our daily lives, there are only noisy reports and scandals, but it was an event that was very calm for me and the staff of the head office, so I reported it to you.

I would like to convey it firmly with the hope that our company can help Ima's children to "a world where they can have hope for the future".
