Live Your Best Life

Are you living your best life? Do you think that you should be living the American Dream? It may be that you consider the best life as one with fame and fortune, perhaps with the addition of fast cars and globe-trotting. However, living your best life is not about the American Dream, fast cars, globe-trotting, fame or fortune.
 
Your best life is about you living a life of happiness and success. While the specific elements of your best life will be different to someone else’s there will be common threads. What are those elements that will help you create and live your best life?
 
Work/Life Balance
While for most people work is essential to earn income to fund a roof over their head and food on the table, some people are lucky enough to have enough money that they don’t actually need to work. Whether you do or don’t need to work is not the problem. The problem occurs when work takes over your life and you find that everything you do revolves around it. If you find that you spend too many hours working and not enough resting or socializing then you will find it begins to negatively impact your life, health and relationships.
 
It’s important that you make sure that you have a work/life balance that allows you to enjoy time with family and friends, as well as on outside interests.
 
Goals
You know that goals are important but do you set them? You need goals in your personal and business life. By having them you can create positive change. If you’re drifting along and not feeling inspired, then now is the time to change that. What do you want from life? What makes you feel excited or inspired? When you look back on your life what do you want to feel proud of?
 
Think about what you want and then write down the steps you can take to achieve it.
 
What would your best life look and feel like?
 
Relationships
Everyone needs relationships. They provide connection and support. Look at the people in your life who don’t serve any purpose apart from annoyance or toxicity. By this consider all those who take your time, energy and positivity but give nothing in return apart from stress and anxiety. If you can remove them from your social circle so that they don’t have the time or space to affect you negatively any more. If removing them completely isn’t possible then plan ways to make sure that you can interact with them without negativity or feeling used.
 
Nurture and develop those relationships that bring you happiness, love, friendship and support. Those relationships that involve give and take.
 
Consider hiring a life coach to help you create your best life. This could be one of the best investments and relationships you make.
 
Health
Your health is essential. While you may have serious health issues you can manage them in a way that will enable you to create and live your best life. Make sure that you eat healthily and drink plenty of fluids. Regular exercise will help you with fitness and also get the endorphins (feel good hormones) flowing.
 
Happiness
Be happy. There will be times when things happen that cause unhappiness but these periods need only be temporary. Plan for them and have strategies in place that can help you find the positive and regain a sense of control. You are the master of your destiny and happiness. You have the power to control your feelings. Don’t give that power away to others.
 
Passion
Find your passion. What makes you feel alive and that life is worth living? What excites you and makes you want to leap out of bed in the morning to grasp the new day? Find that and you will be holding the key to living your best life every day.
 
Your best life is the one that you create. It won’t just happen. It will require you to dream, plan, act and create but it will be worth the effort.
