María de la Paz Toldos, Michell Castro, and María Fernanda Grajales focused on distinguishing physiological hunger from emotional hunger, emphasizing that we often eat not because our body needs nourishment, but as a response to emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, or boredom.

Key points from the workshop include:

• Emotional hunger appears suddenly, while physical hunger develops gradually.
• It craves specific foods (usually high in sugar or fat), unlike physical hunger, which can be satisfied with a variety of foods.
• It doesn’t easily subside with fullness, as its goal is to soothe an emotion rather than to nourish the body.

The presenters also offered tools to help identify when we are eating due to emotional triggers and how to manage these situations in a healthier way.

They highlighted that this topic is especially relevant for educators, noting that emotional hunger can affect:

• The well-being of teachers themselves, impacting their energy, mood, and mental health.
• Student performance and behavior, since these eating patterns may also be present among learners.
• The role of the teacher as a role model, encouraging a more conscious and balanced relationship with food by example.

Throughout the workshop, the speakers encouraged us to pause and reflect on how our emotions are mirrored in our eating habits—and how we can transform that relationship into one that is healthier and more compassionate. They also shared practical strategies for both educators and personal life, ranging from emotional self-regulation to mindful eating.

Did you miss the wellness workshop Discovering Life's Purpose? Watch the recording and learn more about the Ikigai methodology, presented by América Braun and Rodrigo Rocha. They shared its key concepts, the steps to follow, and some of the benefits of integrating it into our daily lives.

The Discovering Life's Purpose: Ikigai Methodology workshop is part of the Teaching and Leadership dimension of the Faculty Well-Being Program. We invite you to explore this approach further.

What is Ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese term that translates to "reason for being" or "life purpose." It represents the intersection of four fundamental elements:

• What you love: Your passions and activities that bring you joy.
• What you are good at: Your skills and competencies.
• What the world needs: The needs of society that you can fulfill.
• What you can be paid for: Activities that can provide you with income.

The convergence of these four aspects helps you find a purpose that brings meaning and fulfillment to your life.

How to Discover Your Ikigai?

Braun and Rocha suggest the following recommendations:

• Start with small actions:
  • Take small steps toward your interests and passions.
  • Avoid seeking immediate major achievements; focus on gradual progress.
• Free yourself from limiting expectations and beliefs:
  • Question social norms that don’t resonate with you.
  • Identify and “let go” of beliefs that prevent you from pursuing what you truly desire.
• Seek harmony and sustainability:
  • Ensure your goals are sustainable in the long run.
  • Evaluate whether your objectives contribute to a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.
• Find joy in the little things:
  • Don’t tie your happiness to achieving big goals.
  • Learn to appreciate and enjoy the simple pleasures of daily life.
• Live in the present:
  • Focus on the present moment to reduce stress related to the past or future.
  • Practice mindfulness to enhance your overall well-being.

Benefits of Applying Ikigai in Your Life

• Greater satisfaction and personal fulfillment:
  • Aligning your activities with your life purpose increases your sense of fulfillment.
• Reduced stress and anxiety:
  • Living according to your Ikigai can lower stress levels and promote better mental health.
• Improved quality of life and longevity:
  • Having a clear purpose is associated with a longer, healthier life.
• Continuous personal development:
  • Ikigai encourages lifelong learning and growth, keeping the mind active and engaged.
• Positive contribution to society:
  • By focusing on what the world needs, you can make a meaningful impact on your community and surroundings.
