Most advice about breaking bad habits focuses on discipline and willpower. But what if that's not the real problem?
In this video, we will explore the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai and how it can help you break bad habits, reduce addiction, and build a life that feels more meaningful. Instead of fighting habits directly, you'll learn why many habits exist in the first place and how finding purpose, direction, and small daily reasons to engage with life can naturally weaken their grip.
If you're struggling with phone addiction, procrastination, excessive scrolling, gaming addiction, or any habit that keeps pulling you away from the life you want, this video offers a different perspective that might change how you think about self-improvement.
I hope this helps!! Peace 🙌
