At Nikken, our mission is to empower individuals with the means to create a naturally healthy life while reaching financial stability. We believe the key to physical, mental and financial well-being is “empowered living.”
Empowered living entails making good choices and decisions and then taking action. Doing so consistently and mindfully leads to personal growth and prosperity. The next step is to contribute positively to local communities, then to society at large. Empowered living is a pathway for individuals to connect not only to their immediate environments but also to the world.
Achieve a balanced lifestyle that is full of vitality with empowered living. Put in the simplest terms, our ongoing goal is to feel good every day. We believe feeling good every day is attainable with these five key principles:
• Enhance your mindset.
• Boost your vitality.
• Strengthen your relationships.
• Make a contribution and serve others.
• Diversify your sources of income.
These principles are akin to living with purpose. In Japanese, “ikigai” actually means living with purpose. To know our purpose in order to be of value to families and communities, we must know what fulfills us and gives us joy, and then to pursue it.
Here are 10 behaviors to put into motion for ikigai or empowered living:
1. Awaken your consciousness. Increase your level of awareness to improve your lifestyle. Be open to learning new things.
2. Connect with your purpose: Understand and pursue the meaning and value you bring to your life.
3. Choose joy: Choose to be happy and savor each moment. Be grateful.
4. Move your body: Incorporate activities that motivate you to move naturally, every day. Stay active in one way or another. Get in shape and stay in shape.
5. Recharge your batteries: Increase energy levels by ensuring restful sleep, connecting with nature and breathing consciously. When you increase your vital energy, you naturally decrease stress.
6. Practice smart hydration: Consume pure, high-quality water.
7. Practice smart nutrition: Eat natural, organic and nutritious foods. Don’t eat too much, leave a little room for optimal digestion!
8 Nurture your relationships: Foster love, shared goals, mutual support and connection. Surround yourself with friends and positive thinkers.
9. Transform your environment: Connect with communities, understand their needs and offer help.
10. Diversify your finances: Explore various income sources and manage your finances wisely.
Empowered living means consciously living your best life, one day at a time, resulting in not just a long life, but a well-lived life of purpose and meaning.
