Lesson 1

Kaizen: Improves A Little Every Day

We started learning how to implement new habits. The Kaizen philosophy invites us to be a little better every day by making small changes. As Lao Tze said: a thousand-mile road begins with one step. Kaizen proposes us to break down our goal into very small steps, so that it is easy for us to carry them out.

Lesson 2

Shikata Ganai: Accept What It Is

What a beautiful word to speak of acceptance. We do not usually like this concept because we associate it with resignation and even indifference. Shikata Ganai tells us about quiet acceptance, the ability to learn from what we cannot change, turning it into a valuable learning experience. We can not make the river take another course; in the end, the water goes back on its way.

Lesson 3

Wabi Sabi: The Beauty Of The Imperfect

I'll ask you a question ¿Do you accept your imperfections? Reflect on it. Wabi sabi is the art of accepting and appreciating the imperfect. Note that not only does it accept it, but it also appreciates and values it. What a wonderful philosophy. We are all extraordinary beings, even if we often make mistakes. That is part of our imperfect humanity and helps us to keep improving and growing.

Lesson 5

Ichigo Ichie: Appreciate The Moment

We run too much, often without knowing where. Ichigo Ichie proposes we stop. Step to be aware of all the details of what surrounds us. Each moment is unique and unrepeatable. If we are able to understand this, we will appreciate and respect every little moment of our lives.

Lesson 6

Ikigai: Find Your Purpose

They are tremendously overwhelmed thinking that they don’t have it, that they can't find it. Sometimes we think that the purpose is something extremely large, which means to perform great deeds. In this session, I encourage you to reflect with me on it. Trigger Warning: The Lesson has some references to Death.

Im sure the information shared was amazing but the instructor’s accent made it difficult to understand what was being said at times.
