At the end of the day, life is about being happy. Easy to say, but what truly
makes you happy? Being happy with your life is obviously about more than work.
At Life by Design® we look at all areas of your
life and how you'd like to change or improve them to achieve your ideal life balance.
Experience has shown that life can be divided into ten areas of happiness,
all of which can impact on each other to some degree. While everyone prioritises
these happiness areas differently, if one area is out of control then others may
well be too.
So it's important to look at life as a whole and really pay attention to improving
your top priority happiness areas. From the following list, which are your top
5 area of happiness/life priorities?
- Health
- Financial independence
- Work/Purpose
- Love relationship
- Family
- Social life
- Contribution to society
- Creativity & Hobbies
- Intellectual growth
- Spirituality (not necessarily religion)
Are you truly happy? What are your top five areas of happiness and what score
would you give yourself out of ten in each of those five areas? If you are scoring
less that a six out of ten in your top five areas then you probably feel some
degree of stress, anxiety and dissatisfaction with your life/work balance at the
moment. What do you need to do make yourself feeling happier and more fulfilled
in life? And if you dont take just a small baby step towards doing something
about it in the next 72 hours you probably never will.
