Chiaki’s Lifestyle

Even as I immerse myself in my work, moving from one assignment to the next – one location to the next – I enjoy an active private life, running nearly every day and taking on the challenges of more adventurous activities like skydiving. Those around me often ask how such a small body can generate so much energy.

For me, the term “lifestyle” refers to all aspects of a person’s life, including work. Work is a big part of life for most of us and everyone has times when job demands push us beyond our normal limits. Preserving a healthy balance between work and personal lives, therefore, is important. We can go a long way toward doing this by taking daily steps to maintain physical and emotional well-being and honestly pursuing our interests. Doing that can actually leave us better equipped for overcoming challenges at work and, paradoxically, engender a virtuous potential for discovering joys of living while at work.

Here, I talk about the relationship of my work and personal lives from the perspectives of health, sports, and art.
