My Ikigai Journey 2021 Begins | IKIGAI | MINDFULNESS | 2021 DIARY |
|
During a conversation with my husband in Autumn 2020, I learnt about "Ikigai" the Japanese secret to a long and happy life. The concept is based around the principal that we can live a long and happy life if we find a purpose. That purpose can be anything, whether it's a hobby or a passion, or even if that passion turns out to be your business venture. After much contemplation, I realised for the majority of my adult life my ikigai was motherhood. As my children are now young adults and need less of that motherhood, I realise I need to find a new purpose and ignite a new "ikigai" to help me live a long and happy life.
I hope you enjoy following my weekly journey through 2021, following my journey as a wife, a mother, a photographer and as a business owner trying to cope with the decimation of the industry I work within due to the shut down of the world in 2020. Thanks to my husband for pointing me in the right direction, and to Héctor Garcìa and Francesc Miralles for an incredible read. I would recommend everyone read this at least once in their life!
