Many people make the mistake of automatically assuming that success is directly linked to the amount of money you make, or how far you make it in your career. For many people, living out your retirement in comfort is the ultimate sign of success. Other people may believe that having a big family is the true measurement of success.
And while these things certainly come into play, they are not the only indicators of the quality of life. Understanding and assessing the overall quality of your life without necessarily measuring it by its monetary worth or career success can help you appreciate your life that much more. In turn, you can have a more meaningful existence and ultimately be a happier person.
Here are some ways you can measure your quality of life and determine whether you would call yourself someone happy or not.
Physical Well Being
Far beyond the worth of money is the worth of your health. After all, you can have all the money in the world, but if you don’t have your health, then what do you truly have? Your health is one of the most valuable things you should treasure, and the fundamental most important factor when it comes to being happy.
This is why it’s so important that you engage in regular exercise and eat a nutritious diet. Get regular checkups, and don’t forget to regularly check in with your health and make improvements where necessary. Health is not a short term goal, but rather something that needs continuous revisiting.
Emotional Well-Being
Remember, your physical well-being is not the only aspect of your health. There’s also your emotional well-being to consider. People who have a positive outlook on life and a strong sense of self are not only happier, but more successful overall. Emotional well-being can be achieved by checking in on yourself once in a while.
How are you feeling? Could journaling help? Perhaps you could talk to a therapist. Try to look at a few different ways that you could take action to improve your mental health. Sometimes it’s as simple as going for a walk once a day. Whatever it takes, make sure that you do it regularly to ensure you can maintain emotional balance.
Social Connections
Are you someone that makes an effort to see the people you love regularly? People who are considered happy or people that regularly connect with and appreciate their friends and family. The more of an effort you can make to maintain your connection with your family, the happier you’ll feel overall. Even something as simple as a quick phone call once in a while can make you feel more connected and loved.
