So not everyone has the budget to have a wardrobe stacked with designer clothing and jet around the world… Or do they?
Quality of life is a subjective thing, and while one person’s luxe lifestyle would simply include a rickety chair and a window to stare out of as they sip coffee, someone else might want to have Mai Tais on a beach.
One thing is for sure, though – if you want the upgrade, you have to put the work in. And, it’s not just about the having; it is the knowing and understanding too.
Rise and shine, baby
Yes, napping is a luxury – but something more luxurious is waking up, getting your work done and having more hours than you can count for the rest of the day.
Everyone’s schedule is different, so recommending people wake up at 5 am isn’t going to work for everyone. You can’t just magically wake up multiple hours earlier without changing other habits, though. You’ll need to also go to bed earlier – and change your bedtime routine.
Time is one of the biggest luxuries, and the moment you treat it like cash, the more significant the improvement you’ll see.
Try new things
How do you know what you like, unless you try it? We are very quick to say – oh, that is not for me, I don’t like that – without ever trying it.
Developing new skills, like learning a language or culinary skills, are massive upgrades. Languages give you more of an opportunity to travel and communicate effectively – which makes the awesome straight away.
The upgrade from trying new things comes from knowing yourself and what you are capable of much better. Confidence comes from knowledge.
Reading
Fiction is great, and everyone should read literary works of fiction – even if it’s just to say you have read it.
Non-fiction books including autobiographies from successful people, about the history of countries and even luxury brands. It is one thing to buy items from a luxury brand; it is another to understand the significance of things like the first Rolex watch, how Prada came to be, or Gianni Versace’s life.
It’s not uncommon for people to struggle to fit in time to read, so audiobooks can make a huge difference for those who are time-strapped.
Relationships
Having healthy relationships is a luxury, but removing people who aren’t really in your corner. Spending time in the company of people you love is one of the most significant ways to feel loved and give love.
Good relationships with friends and family are some of the most critical things we have in life, and they are something that many take for granted.
It can take a lot to slowly remove people from your life that are doing you harm somehow, but that can be a vital step in the upgrade – how can you move forward if people are holding you back.
Upgrading your lifestyle is really about an all-encompassing approach to your life.
