10 Japanese Concepts For Self-Improvement and a Balanced Life
Highlights & Notes
Omoiyari
As above, omoiyari means caring and showing sincere consideration for others.
Practicing omoiyari is said to help build compassion and empathy toward others
Ikigai
Ikigai is the Japanese term for the state of well-being induced by devotion to enjoyable activities, which leads to a sense of fulfillment, according to Japanese psychologist Michiko Kumano.
Your ikigai is what gets you up every morning and keeps you going.
Wabi-sabi
Wabi-sabi is a concept that encourages us to embrace our imperfections and accept the natural cycle of life.
By practicing wabi-sabi, we are taught to be grateful and accepting and strive for excellence rather than perfection.
Mottainai
The concept invites us to be grateful and intentional about our actions and think of ways to help make this world more sustainable.
Shin-Gi-Tai
Shin-Gi-Tai translates as “mind, technique, and body.”
The framework can also be applied to building habits. The framework can be mapped to the Fogg Behavior Model, which is expressed as a short formula: Behavior = Motivation (Mind), Ability (Technique), and Prompt (Body).
Shu-Ha-Ri
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready… The teacher will Disappear.” ― Tao Te Ching
Shu: learn the basics by following the teaching of one master. Imitating the work of great masters also falls in this stage.
Ha: start experimenting, learn from masters, and integrate the learning into the practice.
Ri: This stage focuses on innovation and adapting the learning to different situations.
Kaizen
Kaizen is a method of continuous improvement based on the theory that small, ongoing positive changes can be significant.
Mono no aware
This concept describes having empathy towards things and their inevitable passing.
Omotenashi
The concept is all about offering the best service without expecting a reward. It’s an important part of Japanese culture and deeply rooted in how Japanese society functions.
Ho-Ren-So
Ho-Ren-So translates as “report, inform, and consult.”
It focuses on the roots of the communication line, streamlining the flow of information, and preventing issues from happening again.
It is good practice to encourage everyone to report issues and problems immediately. Even if a solution is not found, the cost of a problem that is not reported can be high.
