Po dopustu

Na dopustu je bilo vsega manj: manj tesnobe, manj žalosti, manj katastrofiziranja. Bilo pa je več dobre volje, več sreče in več optimizma. In to je tisto, kar potrebujem. Ali dopust ali pa srečo, najbolje pa kar oboje skupaj. Ležanje na plaži, toplo sonce in v ozadju zvok valov, če pa temu dodamo še dobro knjigo, je vse skupaj recept za srečno življenje. Ali sem preveč zahteven? Mislim, da ne.

Ali je kdo od vas že prebral kakšno knjigo o IKIGAI? To je zelo smiseln japonski koncept, ki pravi, da moraš delati tisto, kar imaš rad in ti predstavlja strast; tisto, kar svet potrebuje in je tvoj cilj; tisto, v čemer si dober; in če imaš srečo, si za to še plačan. Kaj si lahko želiš več?

Rad imam naravo, a delam v pisarni. Mislim, da opravljam delo, ki ga svet ne potrebuje in tudi ni moj cilj. Sem pa plačan za to. Očitno ne izpolnjujem koncepta IKIGAI. Morda je rešitev menjava službe, vendar pravijo, da je ravno menjava službe eden največjih stresorjev. Tega pa zagotovo ne potrebujem zdaj. Poleg tega je težko najti službo v naravi, ki je še dobro plačana.

Če ima kdo kakšno idejo, se priporočam.


Post-vacation

On vacation, everything felt less intense: less anxiety, less sadness, less catastrophizing. But there was more good mood, more happiness, and more optimism. And that is exactly what I need. Either a vacation or happiness, but ideally both together. Lying on the beach, the warm sun, and the sound of waves in the background—if you add a good book to that, it’s a perfect recipe for a happy life. Am I asking for too much? I don’t think so.

Has anyone ever read a book about IKIGAI? It’s a very meaningful Japanese concept that says you should do what you love and what gives you passion, what the world needs and is your purpose, what you are good at, and if you're lucky, you get paid for it as well. What more could you ask for?

I love nature, but I work in an office. I think I’m doing something the world doesn’t need and that isn’t my purpose. But I’m paid for it. It seems I’m not fulfilling the concept of IKIGAI. Maybe the solution is to change jobs, but they say that switching jobs is one of the biggest stressors. That’s something I certainly don’t need right now. Plus, it’s hard to find a job in nature that’s also well-paid.

If anyone has any ideas, I’m open to suggestions.
