So guys, have u ever done or probably doing an activity related to Ikigai?
Yes I have, but just some activities I have done. Such as wake up in the morning, do exercise, thankful and grateful and always smile.
Alfan wrote: "So guys, have u ever done or probably doing an activity related to Ikigai?"Yes Alfan I have, even just several of them that I have been done. I always grateful, and also I exercise regularly even if only once a week.
Actually, I have done those 10 tips mentioned in the book, but the problem is my intention and consistency that sometimes goes up and down. hehehe

In my personal experience, it is hard to find and follow my "ikigai", because there is always someone commenting and influencing my purpose of life. And nowadays, it seems very hard to see which good friend that bring me to positivity. How about you Nabila?

Alfan wrote: "So guys, have u ever done or probably doing an activity related to Ikigai?"Yesss, I have. I usually do exercise in the morning 5 times a week, and I try to smile every day, bcs smiling makes me cheerful and happy. Also, I don't forget to feel grateful for everything that I have in my life:D

I do agree with you, i experience this sometimes, exercise is one of my problem, when my schedule is full and I need to do that as soon as possible, that only the matters, because i dont have time to do an exercise and the thing is when im done with my work, I prefer to lay in bed than do an exercise :( But, I always try to do an exercise on weekend.

Yes, Elin. We have to always be thankful. Whether the things we have is good or not, we must thank God for everything, because God gives us things and let it happen for a reason, right? :D
Alfan wrote: "So guys, have u ever done or probably doing an activity related to Ikigai?"Absolutely, I have. The book mentioned several tips to make our life more valuable, like exercise, take things slow, always be thankful, etc. I have implemented most of them in my life, like always be thankful for everything i've been through and done, doing exercise regularly to keeping up both my physical and mental health, and always enjoy when do something, because I believe that we do things with rush it will only make things worse, whereas, when we enjoy doing something it will make a good result.
Alfan wrote: "Based from your reading experience, tell us what you get from this book."I've got many things after read the book, I have learn 10 secrets that implement by Japanese people to have a long and happy life. Actually, i have been familiar with the things that mentioned in the book, but sometimes I dont implement all those things continually that makes my life a bit bitter and full of mess.

Same with me, I think Japan people always hve how to live a long
That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed. But then sometimes, I feel bored doing gardening, its because lack of enjoyment there. I think the hardest time is when we constantly doing that routine over and over again, right?. We should do that activity even though we are very low on motivation. Often I have to ignore that feeling and start gardening. How about you guys? how you guys dealing with this kind of situation?

Even though I only make a small changes, I will try to do it consistently and always improving it.
Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed. But then sometimes, I feel bored doing gardening, its because lac..."Couldn’t agree for more, Alfan. Sometimes I also feel that. I feel tired of going exercise routine. But, I always make a reminder for myself, “remember why you started.” This is such a motivation for me, bcs when I remember that, I feel like “it’s not worthy for me to give up, bcs I’ve done so far.” And sometimes, whenever I feel tired, I just make a break time for me, but not so long, maybe just about 1-2 days, and then I go to exercise again. Hope u understand what I mean:D

Engelin wrote: "Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed. But then sometimes, I feel bored doing gardening, i..."What a good explanation Elin, your explanation makes me realize that we should remember why we started and don't give up on something that we have done this far, and also we can take a break if it is needed. Thank you Elin.
Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed. But then sometimes, I feel bored doing gardening, its because lac..."I think we are on the same page, Alfan like sometimes I lose my interest and have no intentions to do that, because I have another thing to do on my priority list, like my tasks which have to finish as soon as possible due to the short deadline. But, yea I try to make my weekend to do the exercise and stuff.
Engelin wrote: "Lu'Lu' wrote: "Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed.

They bring a negative vibes for our life, thats why we must leave them behind and go ahead.
Alfan wrote: "So guys, have u ever done or probably doing an activity related to Ikigai?"I got so many important things, a lot of new things, and after I read the book, I became more aware about body and physical health.
Lu'Lu' wrote: "Even though I only make a small changes, I will try to do it consistently and always improving it."someone ever told me that "if you have someone who support you, it will be easier" wkwkwk
I think the tips that given will be very influential for us, because they not only provide tips for maintaining a healthy body, but also tips for mental health. So it will be balanced.
Nabilaiko wrote: "Lu'Lu' wrote: "Even though I only make a small changes, I will try to do it consistently and always improving it."someone ever told me that "if you have someone who support you, it will be easier..."
Yea, totally agree with your statement. Its easier to do a thing when we had someone who support us. Its like we have support system and never let us down.
Nabilaiko wrote: "I think the tips that given will be very influential for us, because they not only provide tips for maintaining a healthy body, but also tips for mental health. So it will be balanced."Yes, both mental and physical health are covered in a book.
Lu'Lu' wrote: "Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed.

Maybe you can start from now to do those things to find out your purpose. Good luck, Lulu!

So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?
Nabilaiko wrote: "So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?"I think yes, because the environment is the most important aspect of our life. From the environment, we can easily be influenced by anything; for example, if good friends surround us, we can also become good friends from others and spread positiveness to them. But, if bad friends surround us, we can easily become bad and negative people as they did, it was because every day we are together with them.
Nabilaiko wrote: "So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?"Hmm, I dont think so, Nab. In my humble opinion, ourselves that play the biggest role, maybe sometimes environment does. But, the thing is ourselves are the key, like intentions, consistency, and stuff are coming from us, and it will be useless if we have support system but we have no intention to live our life or vice versa.
Nabilaiko wrote: "So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?"I don't think so, but yeah it takes role because environment here have a large meaning, it is not only a living environment but also our circle of friends. The other aspects that take role are ourselves, our mind, and how good we are on controlling ourselves. I think, all those aspects must be balanced.
Nabilaiko wrote: "So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?"I think the surrounding environment also have impact in our mood. For example simple thing like studying it can be so hard or more easier to do. It depend on how we create an atmosphere that we can really enjoy it the most.
what a good opinion, I do agree with you guys. If we don't start with ourselves, we won't be able to. Thank you for the good words.
Alfan wrote: "That was a really good point, guys. Yes, I do occasionally gardening in my spare time. This kind of activity makes me feel relaxed.

And I want to do something that's not my thing for increase my experience.

yes, Elin. I was thought about that too xixixi. But the more I think, I realise that ourselves is the biggest role.

until the day,I haven't found anyone who can cheer me up. So, what was I supposed to do??
Nabilaiko wrote: "Engelin wrote: "Nabilaiko wrote: "So can I conclude that the environment plays the biggest role?"I think yes, because the environment is the most important aspect of our life. From the environmen..."
Yess, Nabilaa. Exactly. everything depends on ourselves first, and then the environment itself :D
I see that we kinda face the same problem that we tend to get bored and not be able to be consistent. Maybe we can apply the second and ninth point of the book, those are "Take it slow" and "Live in the Moment". Do you guys remember it?
Alright, move into another topic. What your comment about this book? Is this interesting to read? Did you get all the information well? Does the language use in this book is easy to understand?, please write down your experience here
Lu'Lu' wrote: "I see that we kinda face the same problem that we tend to get bored and not be able to be consistent.

Let's just enjoy the present moment without thinking about the past or the future.
Alfan wrote: "Alright, move into another topic. What your comment about this book? Is this interesting to read? Did you get all the information well?

So maybe in future I'll read some book like this.
Lu'Lu' wrote: "I see that we kinda face the same problem that we tend to get bored and not be able to be consistent.

I try to implement 9th point right now, because as I said before, when we do some things like tasks, works, and stuff in rush it will produce unsatisfactory result, on the other hand when we enjoy everything we do the result will be satisfactory.
Lu'Lu' wrote: "I see that we kinda face the same problem that we tend to get bored and not be able to be consistent. Maybe we can apply the second and ninth point of the book, those are "Take it slow" and "Live i..."Ah, yeaaa. I remember that, Lulu. It was a good point. Just relax and enjoy all we do, which is the way to get closer to our Ikigai, right?
Alfan wrote: "Alright, move into another topic. What your comment about this book? Is this interesting to read? Did you get all the information well?

I really enjoy the book because the language is easy to understand. And the information provided is complete enough for me.

Lu'Lu' wrote: "I see that we kinda face the same problem that we tend to get bored and not be able to be consistent.

Like what i said before, its get easier every day it get a little easier. but you must gotta do it everyday, that the hardest part. So yeah, at point 9 it says to not give up and keep moving :")
Alfan wrote: "Alright, move into another topic. What your comment about this book? Is this interesting to read? Did you get all the information well?

Maybe someday I'll try to read another non-fiction book because reading such a book makes me motivated to do a lot of things to change my life.
