Lifestyle

Ah, lifestyle. The free-for-all, easy going, no-rules-to-follow aspects of life that you cannot be right or wrong about!

Lifestyle decisions are sometimes automatic as we adopt or conform to the lifestyles of the people around us, so maybe you haven't given your lifestyle much thought.

How Would You Define Your Lifestyle?

I'm not asking for you to come up with a cute title for how you live life. 

I'm asking you to reflect on the patterns (e.g. sleeping, eating, work, school), habits (e.g. hygiene, fitness, learning), and character traits (e.g. motivated, kind, thoughtful) that you have established in your life. 

What Part(s) of Your Lifestyle Do You Want To Change?

Now that you've reflected (take a minute and go back if you need to), ask yourself if this lifestyle is leading you towards or away from the person you want to be. 

If the answer is yes, then keep up the good work; but this is pretty rare.

An honest inventory of my lifestyle usually reveals some areas for improvement. Either because I learned something new and need to take action on it, or I'm reminded about something I already knew and drifted away from.

Why So Serious About Lifestyle?

In an effort to temper the weightiness of what I said above, I want to acknowledge that some aspects of your lifestyle have no bearing on the outcome of your life; so, I don't want to give an overly serious impression about these things.

For example, if you choose to drive a Chevrolet instead of a Volvo, fine. 

Or if you enjoy watching movies in the theater instead of at home, great! Go for it.

You prefer energy drinks over coffee? Ok, then. No complaints here.

And that leads me to this point: Descriptions of my or my family's lifestyle are not prescriptions or instructions. They are here, often for humor's sake, or to perhaps give you an idea that might help you.
