My best simple daily habits for improved physical and mental health
What does Japanese ichinichi ichizen mean?
When it comes to self-improvement, we often feel pressured to make big changes. This is especially true with our health, as poor health impacts every aspect of our lives, making us long for a quick transformation. The irony is that drastic change rarely works.
Fortunately for us, we can experience lasting changes to our wellbeing without a complete overhaul of our life.
Ichinichi ichizen: “One good thing a day”
There is a well-known Japanese proverb ichinichi ichizen (一日一善), which roughly translates to “one good thing a day”. It means that when we are consistent in our positive actions– no matter how small– we can create a lasting impact on both ourselves and the world around us.
Because we may not notice it, but our daily habits have the power to shape the majority of who we are and what kind of person we become.
