- Find a friend, colleague, or family member that is interested in doing this reflection activity with you
- Each spend 10 minutes filling out the Ikigai ‘flower’
- Switch your Ikigai flowers and add things your friend may have missed such as skills or strengths
- Each take 5 minutes to share your reflections based on the Ikigai exercise
- Deepen your reflections by discussing the following:
- Which of these aspects of your Ikigai are currently being fulfilled in your work or other activities?
- What can you do to find more meaning and purpose in your existing activities?
- What can you pursue outside of your existing work and activities that is closer to your Ikigai?
