1. Kaizen Focus on small improvements everyday 🌸 You don’t have to do everything at once, just make progress no matter how minuscule it is 💐

2. Kakeibo Make a budget and STICK TO IT! If your money is sorted, you can actually focus on REAL goals in your life and be less stressed.

3. Wabi-Sabi Let go of the chase to perfection and focus on what really matters ☀️ Done is better than perfect. Choose action over endlessly chasing perfection🌻

❤️

4. Shoshin (my favourite) A.K.A. beginner’s mindset: approach tasks with curiosity and open attitude 🏁 Let go of the worry about knowing everything and perfecting it when you start. Embrace learning, unlearning and trying out new things. ✨

5. Hara Hachi Bu Eat until you’re 80% full 🍽️ By avoiding overeating, you’ll feel healthy to seize the day and also be more energetic 🦾 (Still learning this one)

BONUS 6. Pomodoro Technique For people like me who get easily distracted and burnt out— POMODORO IS THE WAY OF LIFE. Work extremely focused for 25 mins and then take a 5 mins break. Repeat this cycle until you find your equilibrium 🤓
