HOW IT WORKS (YOUR MANDALA) 3. 05 SURE TIPS TO FIND IT THE RIGHT WAY So, let's go! 1.
WHAT IS IKIGAI Basically, ikigai is a term created in Japan. More precisely, on its islands (Okinawa) where its inhabitants used to have an above average life expectancy. And one of the reasons for this is that the people there really know what they like to do.
Thus, they dedicate themselves to this activity throughout their lives. Therefore, we can say that Ikigai is a tool for self-knowledge. Which manages to address various areas and intersections of personal and professional life.
In other words, it involves a reflective process about ourselves. As a result, it will bring valuable discoveries and foundations to our lives. Literally, Ikigai hits the key that if we can make a living doing what we like, the tendency is for us to make our activities happier.
That is, productivity, satisfaction and care. In this way, we can say that knowing our Ikigai is knowing our true reason for living. Still, find our true life purpose and be happy.
Very happy. 2. HOW IT WORKS AND ITS MANDALA Ikigai presents a mandala that illustrates its functionality well.
Which basically shows the four big areas that are present in a life with meaning and purpose. These are: 1. What I love to do 2.
What I can do well 3. What I can get paid to do 4. What the world needs As you can see, the center of all intersections is Ikigai.
It is formed by the junctions of these 4 areas, which still form 4 very important points: passion, mission, profession and vocation. With that in mind, let's explain how each area works. 1.
What I love to do Here, each person's motivation is worked on. What is our passion? What do we love in life?
To help answer this question, think of something you would do if you didn't need money, for example. 2. What I can do well In this item, it is about our vocation.
In other words, understand what we are good at. For example: our strengths, what we know and can do very well. Or even what people value in us.
An important point here is to have a lot of sincerity. Don't be insecure about saying what you're good at. At the same time, don't push yourself to try to be good or good at something you're not, okay?
3. What can I get paid to do Now is a time to be more realistic. Therefore, understanding where we could work or what profession we can pursue.
Always in line with the other areas of the Ikigai mandala that we've talked about so far. List as many options as necessary or pop into your mind. What would other people or companies be willing to pay you to do or work on something?
4. What the world needs Finally, understand your mission here in life, on Earth. That is, what can you do to help others?
Or add something to society? In other words, what legacy can you leave? Here, it doesn't have to be something extremely grandiose.
It may be something small, but it makes a lot of sense and is of value to yourself. And if it's something big, it'll be pretty cool too! Anyway, think and define something that is your own.
As a result of the junctions of these 4 areas, we will find Ikigai as the answer to all this. In other words, our life purpose. 3.
05 RIGHT STEPS TO FINDING IT RIGHT 1. START SMALL Starting small means that to take the first step, we can start by focusing on something that needs more attention. Many people start out by thinking big.
That is, they already want to earn a lot of money, have a very successful career, have an extremely happy family, buy a luxury car, be recognized worldwide, in short. Not that this is wrong, quite the opposite. But for starters, the ideal is to put aside greatness and focus on building our reason for being.
That is, understanding which small things can make us wake up more motivated, happy and satisfied every day. Thus, working and putting these small things together in our daily lives, the final result will be much more valuable and real. That will make a lot more sense.
2. FOCUS ON HARMONY AND LONG TERM Ikigai will really be worth it if he can bring you harmony into your life. That makes real sense to you.
Also, analyze and understand if this will be sustainable. In other words, it will be something you can maintain in the long term. At the same time, that you will be able to support yourself in that, in fact.
And of course, keeping your health, both physical and mental, always up to date. 3. CELEBRATE THE SMALL STEPS TOO Achieving your small goals is very valuable and very important to achieving the bigger goal.
Therefore, with each achievement, even if it is very small, celebrate. Be glad you conquered and took this step. Don't just celebrate the big things.
Happiness is also found in the little things. Make joy be present at all times. And if your Ikigai is real, it will happen naturally, believe me.
4. GET RID OF YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS Basically, limiting beliefs are those beliefs that affect us negatively and make us not achieve what we really seek. In other words, they are those that limit us from seeking our achievements.
Literally, they make us boycott ourselves without realizing it. So get rid of those limiting beliefs. Also, focus on your real need.
At the same time, reflect carefully and be consistent and sincere at this time. Fight for what you really want in your life. Even if you want to understand more about limiting beliefs, we have a very practical video on this subject.

Enjoying every moment of your life is very important. Every step, every step. Keep in mind that if we don't focus on the present, the chances of getting lost or giving up are very high.
Live now. Learn from the past and work on the present to achieve the future you have planned. The most important thing is to be happy and satisfied with the present, with the now.
If it's not the way you planned, work on adjusting it. It is in the now, in today, that it is possible to accomplish the things we desire. It's where we can work, change, adjust, literally, make it happen, agreed?
