I Try Everything New in the Morning
I believe that the realization that she had long been unaware of 'a morning as the start of a new day, not a continuation of yesterday,' and the desire to know it, were the driving forces that enabled Fujiwara to shift from her long-held extreme night-owl lifestyle to an early-bird one, a change that continues to this day.
This suggests that the morning hours hold a power that continues to captivate Fujiwara.
The book originated from an essay by Fujiwara, 'Where Beauty Resides,' serialized in the literary magazine 'GINGER L.' In one installment, she submitted a piece titled 'Beauty Resides in the Morning.' In it, she described her own early-bird lifestyle and how becoming an early riser clarified what she wanted to do and what she wanted to focus on, leading to a sense of clarity and beauty, and ultimately, a straightforward way of living.
Intrigued by the reasons and tips behind this, I asked her to expand on it into a full-length book.
At first, Fujiwara worried if there would be enough content for a whole book on just the theme of 'morning,' but it was entirely unfounded.
The content flowed effortlessly, covering everything from pre-wake-up stretches and breathing exercises, washing and makeup, massage, language study, tips for meals, methods for not getting discouraged, and social interactions.
This shows how fulfilling Fujiwara's mornings are, packed with important activities. At the same time, I realized that Fujiwara challenges herself with new things every morning. Her strong curiosity is further fueled by her morning hours, leading to her radiant beauty.
Morning hours transform both life and oneself into something beautiful.──.
This book proves it.
