The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Might Just Help You Live a More Fulfilling Life – ( Your reason to Be / for being )
The Japanese island of Okinawa, where ikigai has its origins, is said to be home to the largest population of centenarians in the world.
One international study found that people who have a sense of purpose in life are at lower risk of death and heart disease. Why? Researchers found that those who feel purpose often have healthier lifestyles. They are more motivated and resilient, which protects them from stress and burnout.
Discovering your own ikigai is said to bring fulfilment, happiness and make you live longer.
Want to find your Ikigai? Ask yourself the following four questions:
What you love (your passion)
What the world needs (your mission)
What you are good at (your vocation)
What you can get paid for (your profession)
{ So am going to try and find and share mine here…
I love being there for people, helping them, sharing all I have with them. I want to help people heal and laugh and just Be. When I am doing this or my sessions or workshops is when I feel the happiest.
I feel the world needs more love and compassion and understanding and being there for one another.
I feel I am good at helping people tap into a happier and more positive version of themselves.
So doing this makes me a coach, a healer? And Yes I can and do get paid for this. }
Ikigai has a few essential qualities that separate it from the “follow your passion” truism as we conceive of it in Western culture:
It’s challenging. Your ikigai should lead to mastery and growth.
It’s your choice. You should feel a certain degree of autonomy and freedom pursuing your ikigai.
It involves a commitment of time and belief, perhaps to a particular cause, skill, trade, or group of people.
It boosts your well-being. Ikigai is associated with positive relationships and good health. It gives you more energy than it takes away.
In their book Ikigai The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles break down the ten rules that can help anyone find their own ikigai.
1. Stay active and don’t retire
2. Leave urgency behind and adopt a slower pace of life
3. Only eat until you are 80 per cent full
4. Surround yourself with good friends
5. Get in shape through daily, gentle exercise
6. Smile and acknowledge people around you
7. Reconnect with nature
8. Give thanks to anything that brightens our day and makes us feel alive.
9. Live in the moment
10. Follow your ikigai
Author Neil Pasricha suggests running your ikigai through the Saturday Morning Test:
The Saturday Morning Test is your answer to one simple question: What do you do on a Saturday morning when you have nothing to do?
“Follow your bliss.” Find where it is, and don’t be afraid to follow it.”

Judgement is just an opinion - it could be a positive or negative one .. but it truly is just an opinion.
Judgement, Anjana Shamballa, life coach in Bangalore, Depression treatment in Bangalore, angel card therapy in Bangalore
Judgement is just an opinion - it could be a positive or negative one .. but it truly is just an opinion.
For example - You may feel Anjana writes these blogs and they are very personal. Now that is your opinion, your judgment about my blogs. But does that mean they are true? No. It’s what your opinion is about my blogs.
I feel I want to share whatever I can with You and hopefully hearing about a personal story may make it easier for You to connect with. So when we are judging someone it is just our opinion about them, not the truth. You may make it your truth, but what is the real truth?
There is an amazing verse in the Bible which says “ Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.“
This is something to always remember. If we have so many opinions of others, how much do we judge ourselves?
Self-judgement is like someone within trying to tell you what is right and wrong ( in their opinion )
• I should have... I am so silly.
• Why do I keep making the same mistakes? Why can't I learn?
• I called her and she hasn’t called me back. She must think or be ...
• I shouldn’t have said that. Oh dear, why did I?
• I should, I could, why didn’t I?
Can you take a diary and now note a list of things or ways you speak to yourself and judge yourself?
One of the ways I work with this in my workshops is to ask people to think of a friend going through a hardship. What would you say to the? Would you console them? How would you react?
Now put yourself in the same situation and honestly think - what would you say to yourself?
Can you be as kind to yourself as you would have been with your friend?
Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.” ― Naya Rivera
There is an amazing method to judge ourselves less and this is called the DUAL method.
1. Don't pass judgment. If you find yourself being judgmental, stop yourself. ...
2. Understand. Instead of judging someone for what he's done or how he looks, try instead to understand the person. ...
3. Accept. Once you begin to understand, or at least think you kind of understand, try to accept. ...
4. Love.
To liberate yourself from your own self-judgment is to liberate others from it as well. To love yourself is an act of love for the world.” ― Vironika Tugalev

A quick short blog ☺️
My this blog K has been delayed a lot .Am sorry, I must say.
I felt really guilty when I could not get it out on time, but I told myself, it’s ok. It’s more important that I am kind to myself and not feel guilty.
Life over the last few weeks have been very hectic ..feel I have just been on the move and in this state honestly between my health and travel I just could not write.
A wonderful children’s program ( Sesame Street ) has a wonderful video that teaches kindness to children saying K is for kindness. Unlike many books which taught us K for king or K for kangaroo, I feel we must teach children how important kindness is to others and to ourselves too.
Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous and compassionate. If we can apply this to our life we by being kind to others become more gentle, more affectionate, more compassionate too.
There are many types of kindness:
• Kindness to people: giving a sibling a hug, helping someone in need, and listening to a friend.
• Kindness to animals: adopting a pet, filling up a cat’s water bowl, or walking a dog.
• Kindness to the environment: recycling, planting a garden, throwing garbage away.
Kindness has been found by Scientists to be the most important in satisfaction and stability of relationships. Many colleges, including Harvard, are now emphasizing this on applications for admission.
As this is a quick short blog, my only question to you is
Do you show kindness to yourself?
And if so, can you share the different ways you do.
We all do learn from each other right ☺️

Recently while I was on a break, I sat and wrote about how Nature really nurtured my soul.
Listening to the trees rustle, sound of the sea, taste of the salt, colours you see.. . As I wrote this I realized that all my senses were being tickled. Life just slowed down.
What a wonderful calming and peaceful space. So grounding and just being able to connect to yourself. So therefore, I was in a completely different space, I felt.
Nature lifts me. It could be the mountains, the hills, my garden, the sea .. anything away from the city life, I guess.
All my FB and Instagram Anjana Shamballa profile followers will know how many photographs of flowers and sunsets I share. I just cannot help it. They truly bring a smile to my heart.
Last year I had a lot of health issues. I went to the mountains and spent a few weeks at my Sisters home. Definitely, something I will never forget, as my recuperation was just incredible. Looking at the hills, mountains, trees, birds, animals, stunning sunsets just changed my energy completely.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature. …I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. Anne Frank
Honestly, none of us can always be on holiday. What can or what should we do to feel this way more often? I want to feel and experience this more often. How do I create this for myself in my home?
Each of us is nurtured by something different. Some need the mountains and some the sea. One may need sun and the other snow or cold.
What are the sounds that you enjoy? The sea, rain, stream, birds chirping, animals, waterfall …
What steps can we take to create what we want? To live in that wonderful space? To keep experiencing our “ nature haven”?
I sometimes just remove my shoes and walk barefoot on the grass – this is just a most wonderful feeling and very grounding too.
SIMPLE FUN STEPS
Find some photographs or a poster of the landscape that lifts you. And place it somewhere that You notice it daily.
All the sounds, music, birds chirping etc. are available online. Just get on and find the one that suits your mood.
Add some pine cones or seashells or colours that lift you.
Get some plants and flowers into your space. It really helps. 🙂 And if you cannot, the no. of good quality artificial plants available is amazing too.
I, in my office bathroom ( haha ), have tiles which really lift me too. Here’s a photo.
Take a deep breath and inhale. Think of the place You want to be in now. Remember the way you felt or you would like to feel there. Exhale and feel that feeling.
Feel it, Breathe it , Create it, Visualise it and Live it.
Our minds are very powerful. So certainly use it to your advantage by visualising what you want to feel. Once you do that you can believe it and feel it too.
Enjoy spending your beautiful moments in Nature. Cherish it.
God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. -Mother Teresa
