We all want to have the ideal lifestyle, right? Well, we want to help you find ways on building your ideal style of life step by step. We know that the 'perfect' lifestyle doesn't exist, the aim is to find something that will work for you and there are ways to build up to it. It’s like setting goals for what you want to be doing, and also enjoying the process along the way. Remember this is all about you, your interests, goals, and determination – remember what works for others may not work for you. Let us get into some of our tips on Building the Ideal Lifestyle.
Find what works for you
To start off with, it’s good to try out different activities to see what you enjoy and what you don't. Some you'll even fail at which is fine! Failure is normal – it's how we learn and improve. You can decide from this if this is the activity for you or not. So from this, you will see that trying new things is what will open you up to new opportunities and is a step forward to building that lifestyle you want.
Start small – build habits!
A study we found by Tiny Habits, looks into ways how focusing on one small thing at a time can create a habit in the long run. So find something that interests you, this could be starting out doing yoga – but you don’t know where to start? Firstly, get a yoga mat, stand on it for 30 seconds every morning or evening and that’s it. You’re probably thinking this sounds silly but trust the process! It will help your mind remember and build a routine in doing this and after you have done this for a week, you can then look into yoga for beginner videos and start small with simple poses.
Passion
Struggling with drive and an interest? Passions can be found by looking at so many different things. You need think: what is your purpose and values in life and what can lead to a positive change. If you see it as essential, you’re more likely to not stop doing it. Passion is what makes you happy and something enjoyable for you.
Make it an essential part of your life, not just something you do occasionally! If you're struggling to find what makes you passionate - this article by Tiny Buddha will open your eyes a little bit more on this matter.
Make time
Many of us are guilty of saying “I have no time” when in fact we do. Not to say our lives can’t be hectic and have many other priorities but you don’t have to take hours out of your day to build the lifestyle. Planning your day helps and taking 10 minutes out of your day to start something will help you build a habit. Those 10 minutes of an evening where you may be watching Netflix could be used to start that book that you’ve always wanted to read or do a simple stretch after your long day at work. Swapping out things you’re used to doing will move you forward to meeting the lifestyle you want. If you're struggling to find the motivation then check out our article on Five Ways to Stay Motivated
