Those can be the minutes where you really come up with this kind of innovative thought.

And it's like when you're ill, right?

When you feel ill, you think to yourself, oh, being healthy is such a privilege.

But then when you are, of course, healthy and you don't have a cold or COVID or whatever it is, you tend to forget about it, right?

When things are constant, they don't grab your attention.

And so you don't think about them and you kind of move on.

Absolutely.

So breaking things up, diversifying, those are ways by which we can have, we can notice the things that are around us again.

Once you go away and then you come back, you just see things in different eyes, right?

And so you're more likely to detect those things that are joyful, but also those things that are not, that you may want to change.

Yes and no, you cannot habituate to change, right?

If you go from A to B and it's the same A and the same B, right?

You go from like, you're always going from Tokyo to New York, Tokyo to New York.

So you could, to some extent, habituate to this to some degree, but still,

Every time when you come back to Tokyo after you've been in New York for a while, you will still see things differently.

I don't think it will actually be eliminated.

I mean, I experienced this myself because I live both in London and Boston.

I've been doing that for 10 years.

And still, every time I'm away, whether it's for a few weeks or a few months, and then I come back, I absolutely have this feeling of dishabituating and feeling and seeing things again.

Yeah.
