Life w Hsu

Ever heard of “ikigai”? 🤔 It’s a beautiful concept originating from Japan that translates to “a reason for being” or “a reason to wake up in the morning.” 🌅✨

I stumbled upon this concept three years ago when I was a senior in college, feeling lost and uncertain about my path. Graduation was looming, yet I lacked clarity on what I wanted to do with my life. It was like experiencing a quarter-life crisis at the age of 21. 🎓😔

Discovering ikigai wasn’t an instant game changer, but it did help me clarify my thoughts and find purpose. I learned that ikigai is the sweet spot where your passions, talents, values, and purpose intersect – the essence of a truly meaningful and fulfilling life. 💖

But I definitely recommend reading this book as it is one of my favorite books (as much as I hate reading haha). 📚😄

To summarize: your ikigai lies at the convergence of four key elements:
🍃What you love (your passion)
🍃What you’re good at (your vocation)
🍃What the world needs (your mission)
🍃What you can be paid for (your profession)

Keep in mind though, ikigai isn’t a destination – it’s a journey of self-discovery and growth. Start exploring, embracing your passions, and aligning your actions with your purpose. Your ikigai awaits, ready to illuminate the path to a life filled with meaning and fulfillment. 🌟🌸

Anyways, cooking an easy balanced meal is my go-to therapy. For this reel, I wanted to try ASMR. Not sure if this is satisfying to watch, but the food was yummm. . . . . . #cleaneating #eatwelllivewell #cookingreels #nutritiousnoms #healthyrecipes #foodstagram #mealideas #healthylifestyle #macrofriendly #healthyanddelicious #nutritiousanddelicious #vitamins #lowcarb #lowcalorie #lowfatdiet #highprotein #scrambledeggs #multigrainbread #cucumbers #brunchideas #healthyfoodshare #hsu_tps

Go on my first 5km run with me :) I’m a gym girlie that hates cardio but I have been into hybrid training these days. Running outdoor in the nature just heals your soul differently from the gym. You could soak in the sun, get fresh air and get to touch some grass haha. It was an experience: my braid got undone already even before my 1km mark n it started raining before my 4km mark. I almost gave up and cycled back home but oh well I just continued running just so I do what I say I am gonna do. DISCIPLINE guyss.
