Humans have this weird tendency of asking for more instead of appreciating and being grateful about what we already have. So, I thought of talking about 5 luxuries of life, we have it deep inside us but are underrated.
When we talk about luxuries, we think of real estate properties, cars, jewellery, or other big investments. But we forget to invest the right amount of time and money on ourselves to grow into a better version of ourselves. Here are these 5 luxuries, which I feel are very important in our lives:
- Health should be our topmost priority. If your physical and mental health are all in place, then you are unbeatable. Even if you lack behind in possessing money, you will still be able to have a comfortable life. Living in a disease-free body; isn’t it a dream to all of you?
- Thankfully, I always prioritised my sleep over many other things since my mid 20s. When I started my corporate journey, I used to login at work at 7.30 am. This work schedule slowly started bringing the idea of “early to bed and early to rise” in execution into me. I realised that sleep is not just a medicine, but a meditation too which we all need. Those who used to laugh at me for my “early to bed” habit are now falling sick every now and then. They are suffering with low immunity; hence diseases keep brewing into their body. Some of them was infected with COVID19, some of them got COVID twice.
- Networking with right people for right reasons is another luxury which we all berate often. In 2022 and 2023, I dropped a few people from my life. Initially, I was feeling alone and lost. But quickly, I realised that dropping or isolating toxicity from life is not losing; rather its caring for myself.
- Making time is a very important thing we all need to do in our life, and we all struggle in this segment. Making time for yourself, your loved ones and ignoring social media for a while are some of the boons, we all should look at. Use social media for a bit on a motivational note. Don’t use it to flaunt everything about yourself. Remember, real people who truly love and value you are going to make a change in your life.
- Financial stability is really required to have a stable life. No one else can give you this stability, unless you prioritise your finances over everything in life. Save a bit of money to pursue your hobbies as often as you can. Save a bit of money for your own financial security and family. But don’t be a miser.
Personally, I feel seeking knowledge and gaining it from the right people around you can make your life. Be very particular about picking the right luxuries in life, a wrong decision can make or break your life. Don’t let the wrong things dictate you towards the end of the world.
