Anup Chouhan's Key Ideas from Ikigai
by Héctor García, Francesc Miralles

When you engage in tasks that align with your Ikigai, you often enter a state called 'flow'—a state where time seems to fly, and you're fully immersed and enjoying what you do. This state boosts happiness and productivity.

Strong social connections are a pillar of Ikigai. Forming meaningful relationships with others who share your passions or who you can help brings fulfillment. It’s not just about you; it’s about the community.

The people of Okinawa, Japan, who live long, happy lives, never truly retire. They find ways to stay active, both physically and mentally. When your life has a purpose, there’s no reason to stop.

A balanced diet, physical activity, and regular routines are essential. Simple habits like eating slowly, walking every day, and practicing mindfulness can help you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Being present in the moment is a key aspect of finding your Ikigai. It’s about appreciating the small things—whether it’s enjoying a cup of tea or taking in the beauty of nature—without rushing through life.

It’s not about chasing perfection but doing what you love with authenticity. Mistakes are part of the journey. Your passion becomes your craft when you embrace learning and growth.
