Mindfulness ✪

To be conscious or aware of something

Being that we’re half way through 2024 I thought this may be a timely exercise:

Simplistic way to find your IKIGAI:

What brings you joy?

What are you great at?

What does the world need?

What can you be paid for?

Mentionable ✪

Refer to something briefly without going into detail. Important or noteworthy, memorable

Many experts say that having a sense of meaning and purpose is an essential pillar of wellness. However, so often I see so many of us focused on keeping up with the chaos of life that we skip this pillar. Lately, I feel like I’ve really hit a good stride with my fitness, nutrition, sleep, recovery, social wellness, etc… but the one area of wellness I feel I’m lacking in and need to improve in is living in alignment with what I find meaningful and purposeful. I’ve really been thinking about this Japanese concept of IKIGAI this year and if you’re unfamiliar with it here’s an additional article to the one linked above acquaint you with the idea.

Motivation ✪

Meant to inspire: being mentally stimulated to do or feel something

How fitting is this quote to cap off this theme of IKIGAI?
