Do You Know Your IKIGAI?

It sounds like an interesting case study on the lives of the long-living residents of the islands of Okinawa. The book 'IKIGAI : The Japanese Secret To a Long and Happy Life' by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles sums up the wisdom learnt from these people in the form of Ten rules of IKIGAI!

Of course the lifestyle, stress, and challenges in our work and relationships may be far different from that of the centenarians of Okinawa. And adopting all these ten rules might be difficult, however some of them could be fairly easy. Let's try

The Ten Rules of IKIGAI :

  1. Stay active don't retire
  2. Take it slow
  3. Don't fill your stomach
  4. Surround yourself with good friends
  5. Get in shape
  6. Smile
  7. Reconnect with nature
  8. Give thanks
  9. Live in the moment
  10. Follow your Ikigai

Fascinating and compelling, isn't it? How many of the above could you relate to? And which is your favorite?

Thanks Monisha Alfred for the image!
