When I lived in Japan I learned some timeless principles that can help shift you towards a better life.
1) KAIZEN
Kaizen is about embracing continuous improvement; aiming to improve a little bit everyday. With Kaizen you progress with consistent small steps each day. You decide to keep learning and growing.
2) GANBARU
Ganbaru is a word that embraces persistence and giving your best effort. It’s about showing up, being disciplined and pushing through, especially when it gets hard. Keep doing those small steps!
3) WABI SABI
Wabi sabi teaches you to embrace imperfection. You’re not broken. You’re a loving, powerful human being. Instead of chasing ‘perfection’ look for the perfection in the imperfection. Find the beauty in the cracks – in life’s ups and downs. In the reality of being a human being!
4) IKIGAI
Ikigai helps you discover your true purpose in life and encourages you to serve others as best you can. It’s built on four core pillars. 1) Do what you love as often as you can. 2) Do more of what you’re good at. 3) Do what the world needs and 4) Do what you can get paid for doing.
5) SHIN RIN YOKU
Shin rin yoku translates to mean “forest bathing”. It’s the simple act of immersing yourself into the wilderness, with an abundance of trees and nature. It helps lower stress, boost your mood, and restore your energy.
Chances are you inherently know these principles are powerful.
The question is, are you practicing them? I hope so.
Stay inspired & Live Well.
