Practice mindfulness and presence from "summary" of Ikigai Living by HECTOR GARCIA
To find your ikigai, you must practice mindfulness and presence in your daily life. This means being fully aware of your thoughts, emotions, and actions in each moment. It requires you to be present in the here and now, instead of being lost in the past or worrying about the future. Mindfulness involves paying attention to your surroundings, your body, and your mind without judgment. It is about accepting things as they are, without trying to change them or control them. By practicing mindfulness, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity that will help you discover your true purpose in life. Presence is about being fully engaged in whatever you are doing, whether it is a simple task like washing dishes or a more complex activity like writing a report. It is about giving your full attention to the present moment, without being distracted by thoughts of the past or the future. When you are truly present, you can experience a deep sense of connection to yourself and the world around you. By practicing mindfulness and presence, you can learn to listen to your inner voice and intuition. You can tune into your deepest desires and passions, and align your actions with your values and beliefs. This will help you live a more authentic and meaningful life, in which you are true to yourself and your ikigai. So, take the time to slow down and be present in each moment. Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. Cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity that will guide you towards your true purpose in life. Practice mindfulness and presence, and let your ikigai unfold before you.
