12 Things That The Authors of Ikigai Want To Teach The World.
Today, we go through so many things in life that we have forgotten how to embrace life and live every moment. And we are so always in a hurry, or into ourselves and our partners, that we don’t mingle with the community or make friends in our neighborhood anymore.
So what is the purpose of life? And who can teach us well about the same?
Ikigai is one such book, which in Japanese means “The Happiness of being always busy.” This book discusses the purpose of life and discloses the art of living longer.
So we got you twelve things that authors of Ikigai want to teach the world.
1. Be a Part of the Community; It Helps a Lot
Serving the community is a part of Ikigai for many in Okinawa in Japan. The good part of being in a community is that you get together, share best practices of daily needs, helps others cope with limited harvest, have dinners, games, etc.
The good part about all these gatherings is it helps to maintain emotional and financial stability. Because in community everybody is trying to help each other.
2. An Active Mind Leads To a Youthful Body
A youthful mind drives us to adopt a healthy lifestyle which further helps to slow the aging process.
Just the way, if we don’t exercise or live a sedentary life, it leads to weight gain; similarly, if we mentally don’t exercise well, our neurons and neural connections start deteriorating, which further reduces our ability to react to surroundings well.
3. Mental Training is Hard, But Their Results are Always Great
When you begin training your mind, it doesn’t seem easy, but the good part is as you learn how to do it. Then on the second attempt, you realize how easy it is because now you are better at it.
Even playing games is an excellent mental workout because it helps to create new stimuli that prevent depression that comes in with solitude.
4. Anti Aging Strategies You Never Knew About
Even in your twenties, if you aren’t curious, slow your intellectual activities, or have stopped learning something new every day, our neurons start aging, which is not great.
To live youthful life, start doing something new every day, interact with people around, and play games. These are some excellent anti-aging strategies for the mind.
5. Stress Kills Longevity
Antibodies in your body react the same way it responds to pathogens when under stress. It activates a protein that triggers the immune response. The problem associated with stress and anxiety is that its response neutralizes harmful agents and damages healthy cells, leading to aging prematurely.
6. Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness helps filter the information that reaches the outside world.
We can achieve mindfulness through breathing exercises, yoga, and body scans. It’s not a one-day thing; mindfulness involves a lot of training and a bit of practice where we can learn how to focus our mind entirely, which will reduce stress and help us to live longer.
7. A Bit of Stress is Good is for Health
It has been studied that people who have a low level of stress face challenges well and put their heart and soul into their work to succeed and hence, live longer. And others don’t if one lives a more relaxed life and retires much earlier.
8. Be A Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping is a fantastic anti-aging tool that generates powerful antioxidant melatonin, a hormone that strengthens the immune system, protects against cancer, produces insulin naturally, prevents osteoporosis, and fights heart disease.
9. Define the Purpose of Your Living
One becomes frustrated when he lives a life without purpose or when his goal is entirely skewed. So, according to logotherapy, if one discovers the meaning of his life, it helps to fill the existential void he is having.
10. All About Morita Therapy You Never Knew About
Morita Therapy focuses on teaching patients to accept their emotions first without trying to control them because we don’t create feelings. They come to us. Accept it. Then those feelings will change due to patients’ actions and activities.
"If you are angry and want to fight, think about it for three days before coming to blows. After three days, the intense desire to fight will pass on its own".
11. Go With The Flow
The power of the flow is; that the experience is enjoyable, which you will do at any cost for the sake of doing it. And concentrating on one thing at a time becomes a contributing factor in achieving the flow.
12. Japanese Secret of Living a Long and Happy Life
The Japanese secret to living longer is don’t worry, keep your heart young and never let it grow older, plant your kitchen garden and look after it, have organic vegetables, have some meat, always keep doing some physical activity, sing, sleep well, dance, communicate with people around, enjoy every season, and stay optimistic and live a good life.
Final Thoughts
"Because those who discover their ikigai have everything they need for a long and joyful journey through life."
