Far Eastern Talks: My Healing Time
Far Eastern Magazine / Editorial Room
Some moments may not disturb the world, but they can quietly repair the cracks in one's mood. In this issue, Far Easterner from home and abroad is specially invited to share these gentle daily landscapes. Let's practice together and see beauty from the brief pauses.

After dinner, I will change into comfortable shoes and go out for a walk and meditation. The route is fixed, passing through the community and taking a walk along the riverside trail without wearing headphones, allowing the surrounding environmental sounds to come into my ears: the chirping of birds, the rustling of wind blowing through leaves, and the faint sounds of people and cars. Walking calmly and steadily, focusing on one's own sucking, feeling the sense of solidity when touching the ground. When passing by that tree that always blooms, I stop to see what it looks like today. A 40 minute walk, a completely personal path, like an eraser, gently wiping away the hustle and bustle of the day. (Sichuan Yadong Cement/Su Jian)

Baking, for me, is a quiet and gentle healing time. Watching the noodles slowly flow into the frying pan, the aroma slowly spreads in the air, and the heart also calms down. Flipping and rolling up, layers of golden crust seem to be telling the beauty of patience and waiting. Finally, place the finished product on a small plate and garnish it with a bright red strawberry, quietly completing the sense of ceremony in life.
Baking is not just about making desserts, it's more like a conversation with oneself. Stirring, heating, and observing the heat, each step must be focused to temporarily forget about busyness and stress. When the sweet smell permeates the kitchen, looking at the little Dim sum that has been finished by hand, a sense of satisfaction and peace also rises in my heart. Originally, happiness can be very simple, just in a pot of flour, a bit of patience, and the warm and sweet fragrance just out of the oven. (Far Eastern Memorial Hospital/Xu Zhaoyun)

After becoming a mother, life is chased by time, and the most healing time is the moment when I read with my child every night. He would hold a picture book and snuggle into my arms, his small body pressed against mine, his eyes sparkling, listening attentively to me tell stories. Sometimes curiously pointing to the screen and asking questions, sometimes laughing happily for a certain plot. That simple and sincere response slowly softened my heart. The world seems to have become very quiet, and the busyness and fatigue of the day are slowly settling at this moment. All the pressure is gently taken away by his laughter.
I know that these beautiful moments will eventually change with the growth of children, but it is precisely because of this that I want to firmly remember these moments. They are the most gentle and irreplaceable healing moments between us. (Far Eastern Department Stores Taichung City/Lin Yixuan)

In the daily rotation of work forms, various meetings, and training, my healing time every day is sitting on the company's transportation bus. During this undisturbed time, I take off my glasses, put on my headphones, immerse myself in music, listen to audiobooks, or chase a short play. The sound flowing in my headphones wraps around me, without the constraints of roles or the pursuit of work progress. At this moment, I am no longer someone's subordinate or work partner.
Returning home, washing up, putting on comfortable home clothes, not rushing to do housework, nor thinking about the next day's work schedule, but soaking up a cup of favorite drink and lounging in the most comfortable corner of the sofa. At this moment, I am not anyone's mother or wife. In the brief moments of rest, I returned to being myself, slowly soothing various emotions, releasing anxiety and fatigue bit by bit, and only waiting for my body and mind to be relaxed and my mood to be cheerful, can I start to deal with other things with full vitality. All working women should love themselves well. Only by taking care of themselves first can they love others better and cope with everything in life calmly. (Jiangxi Yadong Cement/Fat Meatballs)

My healing method is actually very simple, which is to break away from separation. As a fan of Rie Kondo (author of "Life Reorganize Magic"), I enjoy cleaning and tidying up my home every week and month. After reorganization, the air in the home is filled with a fresh and lively atmosphere, allowing the family to regain their vitality and face the challenges ahead. I prefer to conduct a thorough cleaning before the Lunar New Year and re-examine the things accumulated over the past year. If it is of great significance, it should be retained; If the task is completed, I will thank it for its effort and let it move on to the next place. In this way, the freed up space can accommodate more beautiful things, making both the home and family happy and joyful. (Far Eastern New Century Corporation/Chen Yuanyi)

On days of continuous drizzle, the sound of rain always carries a soothing rhythm, tapping lightly on the asphalt road, gradually diluting the hustle and bustle of the city. In the cool moments, staying in a dry corner and listening to the rain, my heart is also enveloped by tenderness. I like to take the bus in the early morning like this, get off early at the National Taipei University of Technology station, hold up my umbrella, let the rain turn into white noise, and gently push away the hustle and bustle of the city. Holding the thermos in his hand, he didn't rush to rush or think about work, just letting his thoughts drift aimlessly like raindrops. In the busy gaps of daily life, this solo journey is the pause button I pressed for myself.
In the evening, as the rain rested, I rode my motorcycle over Zhongxing Bridge, watching the sunset reflected on the water surface, blending with the lingering moisture to create a gentle light and shadow. The exhaustion of the day also settled with it. Perhaps life is still busy, but amidst the sound of rain and footsteps, I leave a moment of tranquility for myself. In the fast-paced daily life, one still maintains composure and the ability to place oneself. (Far Eastern General Construction Inc./Zhang Jingwen)

In the fast-paced daily routine, my most healing time is the moment that belongs to me after finishing work every day. Turn off your computer, put away your messages, brew yourself a cup of hot tea, sit down, and let your busy schedule temporarily pause outside the door. During those few minutes, I didn't rush to review today's achievements, nor did I worry about tomorrow's to-do list in advance. Instead, I focused on feeling the warmth rising and the tea aroma slowly spreading. My body relaxed and my thoughts gradually settled, as if I had done a gentle reorganization for my mood. Work has taught me to be responsible and invested, and also reminded me that only by taking care of myself can I go further. Healing is not necessarily a long journey, sometimes it's just leaving a quiet and peaceful time for oneself in daily life. (Far Eastern Apparel (Vietnam)/Wu Yiping)

On a sunny March afternoon, I took a special leave and walked into Danan Forest Park. Watching the sunlight filtering through the treetops and sprinkling on the winding path, the light and shadow moved with the wind, making the world appear particularly vast and peaceful. At that moment, I suddenly understood what Wang Wei said: 'When you reach the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise.' It turned out that stopping in one's tracks was a kind of arrival in itself. I slowly walked through the forest, with a gentle breeze carrying the scent of grass and soil, and birds chirping gently rising and falling between the branches and leaves. Arriving at the lakeside, I remembered the life imagination depicted by Haizi in the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" - walking towards the light, gently facing the world, and placing the weight of the soul in the ordinary. So, I sat quietly under the shade of a tree for a moment, not thinking about the journey or the passage of time, only letting the afternoon pass quietly. Da Nan Forest Park has become a spring warmth that I have reserved for myself, and also collected the time when I met my heart. (Far Eastern New Century Corporation/Zeng Zhiyuan)
