[Curiosities] The three Japanese habits that help us be happier in our daily lives

[HuuGo0]

Shinrin-Yoku, Ikigai and Omotenashi are three words that refer to three Japanese practices that will make your happiness skyrocket if you start developing them in your daily life.

We Spaniards, according to the 2023 World Happiness Report, are not the happiest people, far from it. In this ranking we occupy position number 32, but this is something that we can change if we modify some of our habits. Although today Japan is not among the happiest countries in the world, according to this ranking, they have a happiness manual that not all their citizens follow. If they did, they would probably face their daily lives in a very different way. The three key words in this manual, as published by Telva magazine in a recent article, are: Shinrin-Yoku, Ikigai (the meaning of life) and Omotenashi.

Shinrin Yoku

Shinrin-Yoku or "forest bathing" is a Japanese practice that invites you to return to nature as a source of well-being and happiness. Shinrin-Yoku consists of walking among trees to stimulate your senses. Being in contact with nature is very beneficial for both physical and mental health, but... What can you do if you live in a big city? If you live far from the forest, you will have to find a park or garden near your house so you can go out and take a walk there.
