How can I wake up early like the Japanese?

The Japanese have a concept called ikigai, which is about having a reason to wake up every day. This could be anything from wanting to see your children grow up to being successful in your work.

Centenarians on Okinawa live long and fulfilling lives because they have found a purpose in life beyond just survival. There are many different ways to find your ikigai, so don’t give up if you haven’t found it yet!

What is Ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that has been gaining popularity in the Western world in recent years. Ikigai can be defined as one’s reason for which you wake up in the morning. It is interpreted as one’s purpose in life and is important for long and fulfilling lives. There are many ways to find ikigai, but it typically starts with starting small, accepting yourself, connecting with others and the planet, finding joy in little things, and being present.

As the saying goes, there’s more than one way to skin a cat- and the same is true for waking up early. Though some people find that they need complete silence and solitude in order to get out of bed before the sun rises, others find that a little bit of preparation can go a long way.

Some popular techniques include exercise (which releases endorphins and gives you an energy boost), eating breakfast (which jump starts your metabolism), and social interaction (which helps you feel more content in the morning).
