Ikigai Read Along Part 12 (END) + Updates (Patreon)

Happy JULYYYYYY!! 🤍 I hope you are all having as much fun with the World Cup as the Discord seems to be having hahah I have been endlessly entertained in the general chat 🤣

I'm really looking forward to a few more weeks of fun with that and also, of course! Anime reactions! Games! Manga! and moreeeee 🥳🥳

Some updates below (comment or DM questions, I will get back to you asap):

💕 if you didn't see, I started reading hxh (past the point of the anime) on the manga channel: [click here]

💕Also, on the same channel, the podcasts are still going! The last one was about Summer 2026 shows and what you will be watching! On Sunday I'm recording the next one LIVE about power systems in anime - best, worse and which specific power you would like to have!

💕Ikigai read alongs are officially COMPLETE! [Click here for the last video]. Don't forget, on the PINNED post under "happy happy" you can find more read alongs.

Also, just something a little extra I would like to add - Whether or not you listened to one, all, or none of the read alongs, some days are more difficult than others no matter who we are or where we are at in life.

But one thing we all have access to all day every day is our breathing - and I think whether you just feel a bit stuck in a rut, or at rock bottom, or even if things are going really well for you, understanding how much breathing can help you in day to day life is so valuable! So I want to share some videos from other channels.

[Click here for a 19 second video, so easy to follow along, breathing technique for stress or anxiety].

[Click here for a 26 minute video about breathing and how breathing exercises can help shift your mind and your life - quite practical].

[Click here for a 1 hour video about breathing (discussion with Wim Hof). It's not as practical, but it's very, very interesting!]

Wim Hof breathing is a bit intense for me though, at this time. The second video gives a "modified" version that he uses during his day to day life. But either way! Just getting a bit curious about how much our breathing can help with health and mental wellness is a great place to start.

Remember, that's exactly what will shape your whole future (your health and mental wellness in day to day life - it influences your decisions and how you react to things around you, which incrementally shapes your life). So make sure to take care of yourself every day!

💕 after making this post I will be streaming live on Twitch! [click here]
