from his heart an ardent aspiration to lead a life rich in meaning this aspiration is more than enough to make us researchers and discoverers of meaning throughout notre existence elisabeth lucas one day or another the question of the meaning of life imposes itself on each of us perhaps we ask ourselves not in philosophical terms but rather by asking ourselves why am I here on this earth, what exactly am I doing here and what is the reason for all this? many do not find answers to their questions or only partial and unsatisfactory answers frankly what are the answers of our friends when we ask them what they get up for in the morning and who can tell us point blank what the meaning of his life is most often we feel overwhelmed by such questions man we would like to know the answers but they are not easy to formulate some it will perhaps be the dismay because they will suddenly and painfully realize that they are missing an engine once motivation something that propels them forward

exciting on the principle of iki gaye but if you are impatient to go to discovering your own and who wins you can also go directly to the second part and exercises which starts here and from time to time go back to leaf through a few pages of the first part just a vision of the mind imagine the following situation we are Friday evening before the weekend for tomorrow Saturday you have planned a bike ride with family or friends you want to get up early to enjoy the charm of the morning atmosphere and fully enjoy your day as you go to bed, your heart is full of joy at the idea of finally being able to get the air of finding yourself again in nature to breathe the good air you rejoice at the prospect of move your body to be in the company of people you love to exchange with them and to do pleasant breaks to restore yourself after a difficult week you are happy to finally be able to disconnect from work and forget everything for a weekend you fall asleep thinking with pleasure of the beautiful things that await you and the next morning you get up at the first ring of the alarm pumped up and full of momentum having a motivating goal almost makes you jump out of bed is quickly forgotten the fatigue from the day before is still present in your members you enjoy your coffee happily prepared your things and presto you leave in a good mood and with great energy, a great day full of adventure is waiting and you intend to make the most of it, you certainly know what feeling it doesn't matter if you are a fan of bike rides, hikes in mountain and long walks in the forest or visits to museums it doesn't matter if you spend your Saturday doing canoe playing football we made a model airplane that you are about to complete we all have pleasure in doing things that arouse our enthusiasm and make our heart beat a little faster as everything seems lighter to us than when we are pushed by an internal motivation when we know that we are going to accomplish something beautiful, doing an activity that brings us joy wouldn't it be great if we could transfer the incredible motivation we experience on those days to most other days of our lives wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to systematically answer the question why do I get up in the morning to be able to answer them easily almost spontaneously with a deep inner certainty would you not like to wake up all mornings with the awareness of having something to do that gives meaning to your life that gives you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment and rightly so what is fantastic about the philosophy of gay liquid is that it shows us that all this must not remain a simple vision of the mind the joy of finding meaning in what we do the elegant character 6 2 sub designates in Japanese the gaye quays by the sole fact of its polysemy the thermal which gaye is already very interesting in itself to simplify things a little we could translate y who leaves to live and gay by something like reason motive without this result will earn them the each of the four graphic signs carries complex connotations qinghai designates both the meaning of life what life is worth living for the feeling that makes us say that worth getting up in the morning the joy of doing things for the pure joy of doing them self-fulfillment and motivation to experience the feeling of being alive the reason to experience joy and the purpose of life leaké gaye therefore describes the state of a person who finds meaning in life and experiences great happiness in being able to do something that has meaning in their eyes anyone who has identified their nest which gain experiences an intense joy of life and enormous inner satisfaction demonstrates optimism feels alive and motivated is able to be enthusiastic has inner strengths and The person has a great capacity for resilience, which is why he lives and in which direction she wishes to direct her existence however the cigars it does not designate only the deep satisfaction the feeling of accomplishment of the one who knows what gives meaning to his life this notion also includes concrete activities living conditions relationships with others inner attitudes interests centers dreams and goals and many other things still teased we can say that our ikigami staff includes four main categories thing we love to do strengths ability or skills eleven for which we are could be paid or for which we can obtain compensation from others thing the world needs the different aspects of our life that gay can belong to one two or three categories or even all four categories at a time offers a concrete example to better understand what it is about a concert pianist who finds his equivalent in music all four categories plays a role 1 the pianist does something he loves, he puts his all into it and flourishes fully in his activity 2 he is visibly gifted at the piano drummond is therefore a strong point for him 3 as he does not only play at him for himself but also gives concerts in public he does something for the world the people who listen to him appreciate his music and his virtuosity and he may also find a part of their ikki gaye staff 4 finally the pianist is paid for his concerts what allows him to make a living from his piano is when he has the chance to know what who makes his life worth living he can live his passion develop these musical gifts and regularly practice an activity that is meaningful to him it motivates him, gives him joy, gives him inner satisfaction and allows him to constantly set new objectives, making his activity more sustainable since he can make a living from it, nevertheless those who win are not in no way reserved for people who have discovered a great passion in existence, a passion from which they can what's more, doing their job, those who shout also hide in the tiniest and most insignificant things in life, all those little things that we wrongly give little importance to so you can find your ikki gaye by watching the sun rise every morning by meeting at friends to go for a little jog together while reading books that immerse you in other worlds caring for others by being there for your family by taking long walks with your dog learning a new foreign language how your creativity in a course painting etc qinghai can mean things the most ordinary of existence as well as the most ambitious projects sibility are endless and if you have not yet found your ikki gaye its search can represent a gay tool in oneself the inner treasure the big question is whether you will be able to say a resounding yes and massive to your adventure joseph campbell I have good news for you we all carry within us a nicky gaye this precious treasure hidden inside us but we have not all discovered it yet and its search may seem tedious to us yet our efforts are worth it because it is essential to identify your own ikki gaye to then be able to implement it in his existence most people intuitively feel how rewarding it is to seek meaning in life this search for meaning is always something very personal since we are all different and singular what is coherent and fulfilling for one may have no importance for the other unmasked the projections once we have identified our little guy it shows us the path to things that really arouses our enthusiasm which corresponds to us deep in our soul and which are in accordance with our own inner convictions that is why when we let us embark on the path of this quest for personal meaning it is crucial to sweep away all the layers of representation and of conviction that we have borrowed from others to unmask the objectives and the projections that do not belong to us too often we seek unconsciously to meet the expectations of others with the risk of losing sight of our desires, wishes and goals own what counts in this personal treasure is not what others consider important meaningful or rewarding but what touches us personally what resonates within us and makes us glow from the inside simply because we know it's good for us what you will approach the practical part of this book it will therefore only be a question of you just you constantly trying to listen to your inner voice your head turns such that I should where it is necessary that in general these formulations come from our inner censors who are always ready to poison our lives is to divert us from our personal path in the quest for your ikki gaye which has value it is only what is important to you transformations throughout life as we continue to evolve on our life path different elements which belong to our gaye wiki can of course transform them also what is important carries meaning for us at the beginning of our life can lose its relevance later example this concentrate of all its strengths on training as a cook can be part of the ikigami of a young man who passionately tests new culinary recipes say become a great chef and so after my training having the opportunity to work in the best restaurants in the world being part of my gay team and then after a few years he may realize that he would like to open his own restaurant and offer his own culinary creations to his customers his passion for cooking well for others is still part of his team but his personal development now pushes him to wanting to start your own business but is never defined once and for all all and it is recommended to update from time to time to check which elements of our life that win are still as relevant and which aspects require on the contrary to be adapted to our new situation of life or to our new inner attitude the island of centenarians there exists on this earth a place paradise where human beings live longer than elsewhere, it is there that we find the most high percentage of centenarians among the inhabitants but people do not only live there older they also live in good health while remaining independent and active to old age and why this place has been featured in legends for a long time Chinese which designates it as the land of immortals this is okinawa an island in the japanese archipelago eu derrick in the east china sea here people of the elderly still enjoy exceptional physical shape and enjoy their existence octogenarians lead the lives of fifty-year-olds nonagenarians and centenarians travel by mountain bike or motorbike, many of them dance regularly practicing tai chi chuan even have karate and actively participates in other social activities and most descent nerves enjoy devoting themselves all year-round tending their vegetable garden, growing their own food, including they sell part of it on local markets in view of the overflowing activity and enthusiasm of these people to remain so young there is nothing surprising in the fact that there is no word to designate the state of rest on the island of okinawa going to rest retiring are expressions that never come to mind of these seniors alert no rest really does not apply to this universe where a septuagenarian is kindly treated like a young person by the older ones and does not correspond absolutely not to the philosophy of life of its inhabitants who experience joy and deep inner satisfaction as well as an energy of life and an unfailing optimism okinawa is therefore also the perfect example of a place in the world where human beings have indicated gaye particularly strong fear of the residents are very confident of their gay team and know how point they play a major role in their existence it is only because their occupations seem worthy of interest to them and that they see meaning in it that they are sufficiently motivated to approach each new day with cheerfulness and dynamism even at a very advanced age louis marrou where the strength of the community on the island of okinawa and in particular in the village of gimme in the north of the island which has around 3200 inhabitants the principle of which bed wins is closely linked to a feeling exceptional community individuals feel like they belong to a group that has been formed over decades and on which they know they can count he cultivates intense social bonds on a daily basis and supports each other what is called the circle of cohesion yushin maru works according to the principle of mutual aid certainly the inhabitants try to manage on their own to the extent of possible and no member of the group seeks to exploit or harm others but everyone knows that they may have to depend on the help of others this is why everyone assumes that they are responsible both for themselves and for the community individuals strive to govern their existence as autonomously as possible without being needlessly burdening others but at the same time they have a sense of collective and are always ready to invest in helping their neighbor by showing great discretion and without the desire for objective control is to support a member of the community until he can give in again and stand on his own the principle of yushin maru is an important element of the personal ikigami of the inhabitants of gimme he actively seeks to give meaning to their lives and to remain independent as long as possible while being very invested in the community and feeling a sense of belonging that is as strong as it is rich in meaning individual activities are very often linked to collective life acting is not always an end in itself but a means of making a contribution to society therefore hli which gains from each frequently serves the collective needs and thus acquires a deeper meaning when our actions do not only revolve around our own existence but are also oriented towards something greater and more expansive we experience a sense of accomplishment as shown by the fangs seeking in the field of positive psychology psychologist martin seligman specialist in research on happiness, he even sees the necessary condition for finding greater meaning deep to our life the one who cultivates stable social relationships and does not hesitate to give a blow of help to his neighbor if necessary is doubly winner on the one hand he himself is better armed to deal with his personal problems since he can count on the support of the community and on the other hand this sustainably promotes its Qinghai nest naturally in our world in the West and particularly in the cities we no longer generally live in a community bond traditionally as strong as the people of gimme but there is much we can do to encourage closer relationships with our friends and loved ones in rural and urban areas there are many opportunities to escape isolation and form communities whether through collective activities and regular joint projects or through other forms of habitat have you ever thought about opting for a place to live where several people live together? generations or to participate in a vast housing project where the spirit of solidarity is essential from cooperatives to collective homes through senior residences retirement villages serviced residences shared housing and reception family there are many ways to escape isolation and anonymity even in the city whatever form we give to our life the feeling to belong to a community is one of the central pillars of gay iki this is divine example of personal qinghai the principle of iki gaye is firmly anchored in the consciousness of the Japanese everyone knows what it means and what it relates to, yet not everyone has discovered the personal rigi and do not seek it moreover we have the feeling which accompanies them to daily while others feel that it plays no role in their lives or a minor role guys the island of okinawa has a special status here it seems that time has always carried out differently than in the rest of Japan, the islanders have managed to preserve a more great independence and did not comply with the numerous constraints and obligations which prevail in the japanese society if you ask okinawans about their personal ikigami they are able to respond to you immediately, especially the older ones some very beautiful examples mentioned by

messages with maximum precision by noting them in a list don't let yourself stress negative stress and the aftermath are the main killers of creativity when we let ourselves be dominated by them we are no longer ourselves it begins to turn more and more quickly in our heads because we try to find a solution to everything at the same time bodies extended from head to toe and in a state of alert in such conditions we are not more able to look back on ourselves and draw on or freely unfortunately we are not always aware of finding ourselves in a state of stress, for many of us this state is

relaxation which is the best way to get meaningful answers and get closer to your goal in the footsteps of your dreams in our busy daily life to satisfy and tasks to accomplish we tend to forget or repress our aspirations and dreams the deepest or to console ourselves by procrastinating until much later all the things we don't have time to do at the moment yet our dreams and desires gives valuable insight into the desires and demands of our hearts as well as our abilities and gifts in the following exercise you are first invited to remember the dreams that you had during the different periods of your life in a second time you will work on the list of dreams that you have established, follow in the footsteps of your dreams like a explorer and bring together all big and small

moment the question is not there and rejoice like a hunter treasures of every dream that brings you back to life in thought if you have difficulty remembering your dreams at a particular moment in your life immerse yourself even more intensely in this era who were your closest friends try to remember the topics of discussion that you discussed with them on walks while sharing a coffee at the occasion of a school trip if it was during your youth where is ms there is you find yourself to exchange or go out with them what music do you listen to it is often by bringing up these kinds of memories that we also bring back certain feelings certain emotion which brings us closer to what we thought of what we dreamed at the time if your memories are too vague or if you have absolutely no image to mind I advise you to stay relaxed and not put pressure on yourself we are all different and an easy exercise for some can be difficult for others It's completely normal if you can't start an exercise, just concentrate on others and your mind and relax your shoulders if you are ready let's go when I was a child I dreamed I dreamed 2 when I was a teenager i dreamed g and two when i was a young adult i dreamed and two and what are you dreaming of today if you don't really have an idea about this or if you want to try a little trick for fun try to imagine someone famous, someone who is a role model for you and who inspires you what dream would you like to come true if you were this person and if you possessed all his abilities all these talents all his possibilities try to imagine all this from the in the most vivid, precise and concrete way possible thanks to this change of point of view you have every chance of seeing unsuspected dreams arise within you currently I f2 so how does it pass in the world of your dreams did you have easier access to certain periods of your life than to others are there other things that come to mind now? what were his dreams that you had at different times of your life did you have to practice this or that sporting discipline to exercise an original profession such as this country with logs or tightrope walkers to build an artists'

with another color all the desires wish or aspirations that have become obsolete or no longer make sense to you today conflict one of his dreams elsewhere but keep it on your list if it continues to play a role in your life or care and importance to you because a fulfilled dream perhaps represents something still valid today I offer you two examples to help you better understand what this could be about. first example suppose that artistic expression is of great importance to you and that you are naturally become a painter or musician so you have and this dream artistic expression continues to be essential in your life you must keep this dream on your list second example suppose that several years ago you went on a sailboat on the Mediterranean for two months driven by a great need for freedom and adventure you have and this dream but today you no longer feel the need to go on an adventure because your thirst for freedom is no longer as great perhaps your family has become the priority is that of a vacation family in Croatia with small sea excursions from time to time are more than enough for you you can then cross off your list the dream of traveling on a sailboat for months if you are not sure if you can pronounce one of your dreams now, try the following experiment check if just thinking about this dream doesn't make your heart beat faster body and in particular your heartbeat are the surest way to determine if some of your dreams could be real goals in your life or if already accomplished dreams are still as important to you today after sorting out your dreams and having crossed off some, reread once again what remains on your list what are your greatest desires why would you fully commit to the quarters you sacrifices what dream arouses the strongest positive emotions in you underline these key words in another color so that they stand out to you working on the universe of our dreams can require a lot of energy due to the intensity it involves so listen to yourself and if you need to take a break, don't hesitate close the book and attend to other activities as soon as you feel your mind rest move on to the following questions this is about considering more concretely the realization of some of your dreams what dream to the goal active would you like to accomplish this year justify why your objective dreams are particularly

little more patience, the game is worth the effort goal and intrinsic motivation when an individual's goals match their personal needs they feel more motivated and satisfied with his life and above all his existence has meaning in his eyes finnish psychologist yanerit nurmi and katarina salmela arrow people driven by intrinsic objectives such as self-acceptance or inhabited by the feeling of belonging to the human community feels a deeper well-being than those who pursue external objectives such as material and financial success or seduction through physical appearance one more reason to ask ourselves if we are not running after things which certainly perhaps correspond to certain social norms but distances us from our own intrinsic goals in this regard it is also very interesting to think about the role that intrinsic motivation plays for us when we act on our own initiative do we not do things with more enthusiasm than perseverance and don't we get better results according to michael slopes going psychologist and researcher at the yale faculty of medicine in the united states the incentives or external reward systems are no match for extrinsic motivation encourage individuals to do so - as shown in the following example described by michael pants in his book the method of immediate influence 24 psychology students were invited to complete a series of three-dimensional cube soma puzzles for two hours this three days in a row the pieces of the puzzle and is designed to so that they could be assembled in multiple ways this activity was so popular with students that many continue and even look for combinations during the break that were granted to them at after an hour on the second day half of the students received money for each news piece assembled within a specified time, however the researchers told them that they would only pay for a maximum of four combinations found the students in this group spent much less time on their puzzle during the break than the first day third day the researchers will no longer be offered money but their motivation remained lower than that of the first day, however the students who had not never received any money we continue to devote a lot of time to this exciting activity during breaks this example shows very well how the attention given to the simple joy of gambling was reoriented towards the money to be made. win among students who were paid for their work finding more than four combinations seemed to them no longer as interesting as before especially since it was no longer paying in the literal sense of the term while the students of the other group remain motivated by the activity itself seeking maximum possible combinations give them incredible pleasure and satisfaction German d 1.6 its exterior such a financial remuneration of certain activities are perfectly justified but the intrinsic rewards remain those which offer motivation and satisfaction the strongest imagine that the following exercises are intended to stimulate your imagination via listening of your heart and your desires imagine that you are exempt from work and obligations for a whole day as you would be that day what would you do with this day of freedom please avoid filling it with unpleasant tasks and only think about those that would make you the most happy and what would you do if you had a whole week free ask yourself what you would have really want what gives you the greatest joy what would make your heart beat or those who would give you a sense of personal accomplishment next question is financial if you could spend 500 euros as you wish and be required to do so within the next three days aqua would spend this money on you and why give free rein to your imagination and responded spontaneously only condition not to use this money to pay bills or repay debts and what would you do with a million euros can you happily imagine having a such sum at your disposal but again did not use it for pay bills or pay off debts, nor do you have the right to deposit it with the bank or place it in financial products just imagine that you have a month to spend your millions write down all the ideas that you now come diving inside you even and search your heart in all conscience concentrate to listen to the question Next close your eyes then inhale and exhale quietly three times in a row before writing down your answer if tomorrow the world disappears I will fulfill my dream today of after writing everything that you just in mind when answering these five questions underlined key words in another color then identify common themes surrounded by repeating responses that relates to the same idea or the same field or which are of the greatest importance to you it's about what these key words or key phrases can say about you to the message that it conveys to you and formulated it in writing in a list with a maximum precision and conciseness three beautiful things 2 the time has come to think again about the beautiful things you experienced today what did I do about it what does this mean to me why is this so important how can I have more positive experiences like this at the future notices if you make a habit of writing regularly gratitude lists after a while your point of view on the world changes will find change for the better of course I advise you to use for this purpose a pretty notebook or notebook where you will ideally write down every day the beautiful things that happen to you in your life at this stage you can give yourself a pause or close this book for today find your passion a myth the coaches repeat to us meaning what we are coming from it is important for every human being to find a great passion in life his passion is to direct all his existence towards it finds your passion villa fully holstered you will find your happiness and we will flourish indeed it is wonderful to discover your passion and dedicate yourself to it and even more wonderful not to dedicate only your free time but also make it your profession at the beginning of this book I took the example of a concert pianist who made his passion and his talent his profession and his whole life in this case the passion that drives you and carries you is clearly a vocation it gives you strength and energy, motivates you and gives you wings and to access the highest expression of yourself and to give the best of yourself so yes, to see one’s passion come to life is undoubtedly a gift from Lévis that gives meaning to one’s existence but are we still losers if in our society obsessed by efficiency and performance through the search for self-optimization we If we fail to identify our greatest passion, we will see ourselves as failures if our profession is not our vocation if we are not going to work every days with overflowing enthusiasm if we do not get up in the morning with contagious energy and ambitious projects to change the world arm a name of course there are a good number of professional sports musicians from scientists and other specialists who devote themselves body and soul to a single discipline and are happy that way but there are also generalists of individuals that barbara dear psychotherapist and bestselling book author calls scanners these people have diverse and varied interests and are often looking for new areas to explore new sources of inspiration new adventures to experience they have difficulty committing to one voice for fear of missing out on other exciting things but at the same time they can get really excited about something and find meaning in it between these two poles, the specialists and the scanners, we find the majority of human beings these are people who have one or two main interests and many secondary occupations example the scientist who works with passion to discover a new vaccine capable of protecting entire populations of an epidemic and who occupies his free time to mount a horse to play bridge and collect stamps or the insurance broker who considers his job as a means of earning a living but spends all his free time taking folk dance classes and has worked as a volunteer at a charity it's likely you already know if you are rather a specialist or a generalist and all the lists that you have established so far in the framework of the exercise program in this book should reflect this if what you have noted turns mainly around one or two ideas or a small number of areas you are probably a specialist on the other hand you are all general if your answers touch on various areas or ideas numerous and varied in this case a host of things interest you there is no value judgment in this observation and we cannot say that one pole is better than one other the extreme diversity of the responses simply show the character different and unique to each person's personality not everyone has a single great passion in life that motivates them and where they find fulfillment this is why it is useless to put pressure on yourself and run desperately after this myth of passion even without having a big life goal a passion capable of changing the facing the world we are all capable of identifying what is meaningful and fulfilling for us and often this are simple little things in life that's what there are two precious and comforting bits in the qinghai meaning can arise at any moment of our life and precisely in something seemingly insignificant a small thing that seems like nothing but means a lot a thought a motto or a maxim for example meaning and something eminently personal feel the fire of life within you in this exercise it is also about identifying those who want to energize and gives you the feeling of being particularly free where live that reminds you of the most positive and most rewarding things you have experienced it can come to mind that you have already noted in the previous exercise, perhaps you had a hobby as a child to which you devoted a lot of time and which gave you a wonderful feeling of freedom in this case do not leave it aside just because you have already mentioned it in other exercises serious if you repeat milking you enlighten all the better those who play an essential role in your life what gives you energy what in the past made you feel particularly alive? in what situation did you feel particularly free What gave you deep satisfaction? You may have noticed this exercise program contains open-ended questions that are not attached to no particular situation to no memory there is no specific period of your life four previous questions belonged to this category be very gratifying to answer this type of question which poses a less narrow framework than those appearing in very beginning of the book but it all depends on the people some people think more easily when we gives them instructions and a precise framework while others prefer free associations tested what suits you best the more answers you have to the questions the more you will learn about yourself and the more you will develop a clear vision of your personal ikigami by the end of this book complete this exercise proceed as usual underline key words think about this that it reveals about you and our televisions message that it conveys on a list socrates salutes you the following story has been transmitted to us by Socrates we do not know if things really happened like this but this story perfectly illustrates the strength of some of our aspirations for a young man visited the philosopher Socrates and asked him how he could become wise Socrates invited him to come and join him the next day at the edge of a river at a place where he would show him how achieve his objective as agreed the two men found the next day at the water's edge socrates entered the water and made a sign for young men to follow him, the latter advances without the slightest hesitation Suddenly Socrates turned around, grabbed the young man and plunged his head under the water the young man struggled violently and desperately tried to free himself crack was stronger and will continue to keep it underwater did not loosen his grip for a long time then he finally released the young man who, half suffocating, had difficulty catching his breath after pulling himself together he asked the philosopher why he had held his head under water Socrates answered him when your aspirations to become wise will be as strong odds need breathe you will find wisdom see the young man was in search of wisdom but the lesson can be applied to many other objectives that we wish to achieve, for example the aspiration to success or the discovery of our own ikki gaye we perceive to what extent the young man's need to catch his breath and urgent to breathe it is our most vital need if we aspire to things that are essential to us our motivation to achieve them can be huge identify yourself and your values the privilege of a life is to know who you are joseph campbell we have reached the last what of our exercise program this is about assessing your strengths and values important aspects of your life that shout out our favorite characters or role models say a lot about us either because it represents our ideals or because we appreciate and will admire their quality, their ability and their talent You might think back to the exercises where you had to write down your favorite books and films and ask yourself what is the difference i will explain it to you using an example suppose your favorite book tells a love story captivated and allow us to identify with them the characters do not need to be models by their strength their humor their talent power of love can be the interest main part of the film where the story can be told incredibly well is very romantic On the other hand, the following exercise invites you to write down the qualities that impress you in others who seem precious or make you laugh your answers to the questions may partially resemble

ourselves into the future the next thing we can anticipate this or that thing through thought we imagined it as if it were there to enjoy it already here and now and this exercise is capable of giving meaning our mind is formidable it is capable of bringing before our inner eyes the images of the things that we desire and that we feel as positive pleasant beneficial comforting inspiring motivating or relaxing as soon as we visualize something in the future our brain without troops stimulating this increase in brain activity is perceptible thanks to the magnetic resonance imaging technique when we imagine something positive or negative we arouse positive or negative emotions in ourselves we can therefore largely decide which emotions we want activated in us at this or that moment sun that they constantly entertain negative thoughts and view the future with pessimism sets in unnecessarily in a harmful atmosphere and deprives itself of part of its energy it's a bit as if she's boycotting

to the dreams you have realized shows what your goals in the past I will perhaps still be very proud of what you have accomplished certainly recall what you did with strong motivation and great enthusiasm what seemed to you easy or on the contrary what required a lot of effort and commitment among all the things you have realized that it really meant something to you at the time you accomplished it now with hindsight which ones still seem as rich in meaning and as rewarding which in your opinion reflect your qualities, strengths and values take a pencil of another color and write it all down, underlining the key words the happiness barometer this exercise is a variation of the exercise three beautiful things 1 and 2 complete the following three lists one after the other think about all the small things and large that brings you joy and gives you happiness in life what gave me joy and happiness is what last year what gave me joy and happiness were these the people who give

wish you can now practice a little relaxation exercise to put yourself in a favorable indoor climate and you refocus for example the conditioning one as I explained in the chapter the happiness of finding meaning in what we do our xxi gaye is composed mainly from the following four things we love to do things that we know how to do well, i.e. our strengths things we might get paid for or get paid for counterpart of other things the world needs With the help of the practical exercises in this book you have highlighted many facets of your ikki gaye if you will be able to synthesize these different aspects and partially connect them start by noting the most relevant points from the lists of themes you have established it's not just about things you've already tried or do regularly but also about those you would like to address that excite you and motivate you projects future and objectives for example then re-read all the chapters in which are the lists of themes mentioned previously and go through the other lists at the searching for keywords or headline messages that may not appear in these lists in my personal example here I noted the link to nature and effectiveness personal and its aspects can still be on my list since I continue to enjoy climbing trees and its aspects may still be on my list of key words and main messages of his lists helps us identify certain traits of our personality to better know what fascinates us, motivates us, enthuses us and fulfills us if you are able to answer the following question spontaneously and immediately without rereading your lists it's even better it shows that you now clearly know what makes it beat faster your heart then what really matters to you in your existence when you have finished consulting your previous lists anyway to make sure you don't forget anything important now focus on your strengths or you can reread what you have written in the list of your strengths and your primary qualities as well as in the list of your best decisions then you can become aware of other strong points by considering the previous list of things that you like to do because in general these are the ones which not only our enthusiasms and us inspires but also that we master fairly well or for which we have certain gifts responds to our personal inclinations and can become strengths to develop if we devote enough time to them. time and attention so see if you can't identify any potential strengths or wheel strangers right there and write them in a list finally let us consider the third major aspect of iki gaye that of retribution make a list of all the things you are or could be paid first write down everything that comes to mind spontaneously then refer to the list of things you like to do or the list of your primary strengths and qualities in all of this do you not see any for which you could obtain remuneration or in return, the jobs or professions that you have exercised until then must appear in this list but also the activities for which you have potential even if for the moment you do not have not yet have all the necessary skills or abilities for example if you like to collect wild plants with which you prepare all kinds of delicious dishes you could organize walks in nature and cooking classes if you love skiing and own a real talent in this sport you might consider becoming a ski instructor If you volunteered for an environmental protection organization, you might be able to apply for a job there. part-time or full-time job, above all, don't censor yourself so much I wasn't thinking about all the people who may know more about it than you, of course some have broader knowledge, greater experience or more specialized skills than you in a field and are able to complete certain tasks more easily than you there are always and there will be always but that's not the question what counts is your motivation your passion your enthusiasm for this activity what matters is that it strengthens your will and gives you the energy to move forward to go further if you have identified a practice that really interests you, don't stop yourself from approaching it or developing it out of a feeling of inadequacy under the pretext that you are not this enough or that enough your enthusiasm, your will and your motivation can more than compensate for this so-called inadequacy I'm might get paid for I might might get a counterpart for perfect at this point you only have one dimension left of the iki gaye examined at know everything the world needs quality goes their action re-read all of your lists adopting this angle of view, for example dear among the values the strengths or qualities which are yours or which others attribute to you and for which they appeal to you and who you believe can bring something to the world what you wrote down in your gratitude lists can also put you on the path to some important values remember the example of the person with full shopping carts who queues at the supermarket checkout and leaves pass another person in front of her who only has a few items we can draw some key words from it ability attention helpfulness etc. values that have a positive effect on the world in which we live, also refer to the list of people who are role models for you what qualities potentially useful to the world do they embody what you
