The practice of ‘Misogi’ how to define your years, make them memorable. #nzpodcast #selfdevelopment

April 25, 202400:59
00:00:00
misogi is a Japanese word which means
00:00:02
I've definitely pronounced it wrong it
00:00:04
derived from a Japanese process it's
00:00:06
called water cleansing so apparently the
00:00:08
traditional in Japan is once a year they
00:00:10
go and stand under a cold waterfall and
00:00:12
it's like this Soul cleansing so it's
00:00:14
kind of like pressing control out to
00:00:15
meet on your mind and uh now how it's
00:00:19
evolved is to everyone to have a a
00:00:21
misogi which is a year defining moment
00:00:23
so it's doing something that defines
00:00:26
your year so you can look back so for me
00:00:28
like this is my Mogi I can back and say
00:00:30
2024 my misogi was running across the
00:00:33
Arctic again for someone else maybe it's
00:00:36
the year they started a podcast maybe
00:00:38
it's the year they started a business
00:00:40
maybe it's the year they did a 10K but
00:00:42
it's thinking to yourself what is the
00:00:44
one thing that's going to Define my year
00:00:47
and it has to be something that that
00:00:49
scares you that you're not sure that you
00:00:50
can complete because otherwise as you
00:00:52
say we kind of drift through life like
00:00:54
this someone said to me today oh you
00:00:56
know where did January go
