HOW TO FIND YOUR IKIGAI? FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON (HSP)

How to find your ikigai if you're a highly sensitive person? In this video, I'm going to show you how to use IKIGAI, an ancient way of finding your reason for being and the reason you get up every morning. Finding purpose and meaning in our profession is what gives meaning to life. With Ikigai, we will use four components, what you love, what you're good at, what you can get paid for and lastly, what the world needs. The last one usually is the hardest part because for most of us Highly Sensitive person, with strong HSP traits, we are not taught to find this.
If you find this helpful, you can book a call with me for FREE discovery session so we can start finding your ikigai.

You have the only video I can find on KZbin where you go through it step by step and we can follow along. Thank you for explaining and teaching this. Great video!❤️

[@imvanbradshaw]

+Analyn Roiz thank you! I’m glad you found it useful! What’s your Ikigai?

[@MarianaKaiser]

I feel like the word IKIGAI is gaining popularity right now. I have heard it several times in the past few months! Thank you for sharing, it's well explained!

[@imvanbradshaw]

I'm glad you find this video helpful Mariana.

[@Mrhandfriends]

This is brilliant ! It’s not attractive for a man to be sensitive - I’ve had to learn the hard way growing up and had to toughen up over the years, constantly stepping out of my conform zone to grow - I now have a healthy balance of sensitivity and confidence! I’m now loving and caring to my wife and family but have a hard exterior to face the world !

[@imvanbradshaw]

it's sad that that's what our society teaches men. There's nothing unattractive with sensitivity, as with anything else, everything needs to be in balance - your definition of balance. I'm glad you have that now. Your wife must be so happy!

[@vishavize]

If you can do share it with us how did you acheive this healthy balance

[@IrenePsicosex]

Thank you for this info about how to find your IKIGAI! Very interesting and this is the first time I've heard of it. Find your purpose in life is really an important topic. Thank you!

[@imvanbradshaw]

it is, and something not really thought in school (at least in western educational system).

[@JamaGreekCrew]

This is some next level information i never heard of ikigai before but i like the way you write all these things down and to understand deeper what is truly important to you..very clever. Very informative thank u gonna look more into what you offer a little closer.

[@imvanbradshaw]

Wow, it means a lot to me what you said! Thank you!

[@bongolucassgamingchannel7055]

Thank you so much

[@MonzonMedia]

This is a great exercise, I've never heard of it so thanks for this walkthrough. Although I've already decided on what it is I want to do, I still find I need a bit more clarity, this will help! The point about honouring your DOES and nurturing your nature rings very true for me.

[@imvanbradshaw]

Yes, we have to nurture our nature. Glad it resonated with you.

[@TheWiggyWoman]

Whoa this is such a good way to organize something that seems so abstract!

[@imvanbradshaw]

it is!

[@ElizabethSampson]

You explained this so well!

[@imvanbradshaw]

Wow, I'm glad.

[@NissySlim]

[@imvanbradshaw]

+Primrose k you just made my day! Thank you so much!

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Oh my gosh this is so fascinating. Thank you for sharing this 🤩 🖤. I've always been told I'm highly insensitive so I'm not sure if this is the best exercise lol

[@imvanbradshaw]

Lol, I'm still glad that this exercise fascinated you. I bet you are sensitive deep deep down inside.

[@Mary_AngelCR]

Best video!

[@MrLetGo]

You explained this so eloquently Van 💯💯💯💯💯

[@imvanbradshaw]

Thank you!!

[@romit214]

Great Video! Most people are making videos on what Ikigai is but no one is explaining how to out that in practice. This video does that perfectly!!

[@imvanbradshaw]

+Romit Jain thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you find this helpful. What is your ikigai?

[@AditiGuha]

Extremely good tutorial. I have read the book but this is very simple and easy to follow

[@imvanbradshaw]

Great to hear!

[@OlympiaSophie]

I only just recently found out what IKIGAI is. Definitely an IHSP Love your video ❤️

[@imvanbradshaw]

Yay! Thank you!

[@ortallevitan1]

i've never even heard of Ikigai! thanks for sharing

[@imvanbradshaw]

Any time!

[@leilaricciardo]

Very interesting! I've never heard of this before.

[@imvanbradshaw]

Thanks for watching!

[@alinowak2619]

Great topic. Great explanation about IKIGAI.

[@imvanbradshaw]

Thank you Ali!

[@betterourselves]

Good job

[@stefanhansen5882]

This is not really a Japanese idea, although it is presented this way. It's essentially from the astrologer Andrés Zuzunaga.

[@jaclynh9343]

Where's your link to book a call with you?

[@goodlikemedicine]

DOES?

[@furankisama2926]

I’m 17, immature, and in desperate need of something long term. Does this still apply to me?

[@dmystfy]

Yes

[@Demiguitarhero]

I don't want to be rude of any kind but I find that the most HSP's on youtube become coaches to coach HSP's to find a job... like are there any other jobs that HSP's can feel good at...

[@kathy8887]

Why I have to care what the world needs ???? I care what I need and my family needs .

[@imvanbradshaw]

Great question. If you can provide what the world needs (your customer), they will pay you, which in return can and will provide for your family’s needs.

[@missalarxxx]

We are all connected. If an individual only cares about themselves, it’s called self-centered and selfish. Everything we do impacts someone, our environment etc, it may not be apparent now, but it’s the ripple effect. Every little bit helps, every little bit counts.

I wonder if hunter gatherers were so confused as modern day man.
