  • The quality of our lives determines how happy and
    contentful we feel about ourselves and the
    quality of our life largely depends on the
    lifestyle we adopt. Being mindful of the
    lifestyle we have is very essential for us to
    know where we are and where we are headed. A
    healthy lifestyle is detrimental in one's overall
    happiness and success in life. Success can mean
    different to different individuals.
  • Life is but an accumulation of experiences
  • However, a sense of contentment and fulfilment
    one can draw from their success depends on
    lifestyle. As rightly put by the famous proverb -
    Life is but an accumulation of experiences. What
    we choose to experience and what we choose to not
    experience is a decision that we make based on
    our lifestyle and hence, the quality of our
    lifestyle truly defines the quality of our lives!
    Your Lifestyle is at the core, the Innate You!
    That's why it is so important to be mindful of
    the lifestyle we are following and to also assess
    it from time to time.
  • What is "Lifestyle"? How do we develop a
    "Lifestyle"? Find your answers to these questions
    and more in this write-up.

  • What does "Lifestyle" mean?
  • In layman terms, Lifestyle simply means the way
    an individual lives his or her life. Lifestyle is
    opinions, interests, behaviours, thinking
    patterns and behavioural orientation of an
    individual. Put it simply, the way or style of
    living is referred to as one's lifestyle. In
    essence, one's lifestyle is a combination of
    several tangible and intangible factors.
  • Tangible factors influencing lifestyle
  • Tangible factors refer to the demographic and
    geographical factors that contribute to a
    person's lifestyle. For example People living in
    rural areas of the country are bound to have a
    different lifestyle as compared to living in the
    suburbs or the urban counterparts. Such tangible
    factors contribute to one's lifestyle for the
    most part of it - for instance people living in
    the rural areas are early to bed and early to
    rise as opposed to the people living in the urban
    metros who generally go to sleep during the late
    night hours.

  • Intangible factors influencing lifestyle
  • On the other hand, the intangible factors are
    comprised of the psychological contributing
    factors like one's belief systems, philosophies,
    personal values, preferences, prejudices,
    opinions and outlooks. These are formed based on
    the surrounding environments where an individual
    has been brought up in and the people who've
    raised them.
  • For instance Children brought up in the Western
    part of the world are more exposed to the ideas
    of liberalism than the ones that are brought up
    in the Eastern parts. Additionally, as an
    individual grows up to being an adult, he or she
    realize their identity and choose the belief
    systems and values they want to stand and abide
    by. Lifestyle, therefore is a combination of both
    these aspects and it largely differ from one
    individual to another although it might appear to
    be the same on the outlook.

  • How do we develop a "lifestyle"?
  • For the most part of it, we develop our lifestyle
    fundamentally from the environment we're
    surrounded with. Parents undoubtedly become our
    first teachers and we tend to pick up our habits,
    routines, eating patterns, sleeping patterns,
    importance we give to health, leisure, art and
    philosophy and everything in between from our
    families.
  • Later on, as a child turns into an adolescent and
    later into an adult - he or she picks up their
    own preference of lifestyles depending upon one's
    individual life experiences.
  • How our lifestyle is expressed in our work,
    leisure, health, attitudes, opinions, motivations
    and everything in between...
  • Our Lifestyle typically roots from the core
    beliefs and philosophies we have and develop over
    time. In essence, lifestyle is more of dynamic
    nature and not a static one because our beliefs
    and philosophies keep changing and evolving over
    time, as we grow up and we we're more exposed to
    different kinds of environments.

  • Our work is an extension of our own mind
  • Our lifestyle is clearly and evidently reflected
    upon on our work style and ethics. Our work is at
    the end of the day, an extension of our own mind
    and thus our lifestyle is bound to be reflected
    and expressed in and through our work. For
    instance If a person follows a "Green Lifestyle"
    which means adopting living patterns that
    minimize our ecological footprints, he or she
    will strive to cut down on plastic usage at home
    and at work and will try to find ways to reuse
    and recycle things at work. Similarly, a person
    who follows a "Taoist Lifestyle" which means
    living in an absolute harmony with nature and
    natural order, will try to minimize arguments and
    misunderstandings at work and strives to promote
    an uninterrupted workplace ethics, creating work
    environments that hurts none and treats everyone
    equally.

  • Our macro and micro day-to-day activities are
    influenced by our lifestyle
  • examples evidently draw out how one's Lifestyle
    reflects in one's work. But in essence however,
    it goes way beyond this point and everything that
    we do - both at macro and micro levels are
    innately influenced by our lifestyle. What we do
    in our leisure time for example defines our
    affinity towards hobbies, art and philosophies.
    Someone who believes deeply in art would love to
    spend their leisure doing things that put their
    creativity to test. They're generally seen making
    things - from cooking, to painting, to crafts and
    DIYs to composing music and so on. Similarly,
    someone who is passionate about philosophy will
    be seen generally spending their time with books,
    or having conversations with people and so on.
  • Similarly, every other aspect of our lives -
    right from how we behave, our activities,
    interests, attitudes, opinions, values to more
    niched down parameters of life like our economic
    decisions, relationships, motivations, needs and
    wants are all manifestations of our lifestyle and
    an expression and extension of the same. Here are
    some instances that explains the same in brief

  • People living in rural areas might not spend
    their hard earned money on travel and adventure
    as compared to their counterparts living in the
    urban areas who would love to pay higher prices
    in exchange of a great experience.
  • People who believe in "Minimalistic Lifestyle"
    will try to cut down unnecessary costs in buying
    things that do not serve a fulfilled purpose.
    Likewise, they would not value hanging out with a
    large bunch of friends every weekend at an
    expensive restaurant as much as they would value
    hanging out with a close and an intimate circle
    of friends doing more simple things. Their idea
    of fun therefore is defined by their choice of
    lifestyle.
  • People who follow a "Sophisticated Lifestyle"
    would love to fill their days with various
    activities that give them an elite experience -
    from working at great corporate spaces, to
    indulging in sports like swimming or badminton,
    and indulging in recreational activities like
    fancy spas and massages. Their idea of how their
    day should look like stems from their lifestyle
    choice of keeping it as modernistic and
    sophisticated as possible.

10
  • These are just a few examples that demonstrate
    how one's Lifestyle is expressed thoroughly in
    every aspect of life - from recreation to work to
    relationships and economic or financial
    decisions. Creating a life that you want starts
    from creating a lifestyle plan that suits the
    kind of life you wish to live and sticking to
    this lifestyle plan. It might be necessary
    sometimes to make changes to one's lifestyle in
    order to ensure we're headed where we want to and
    taking time to do this at regular intervals pays
    off so much in the long run! At the end of the
    day, our lifestyle is by large the part and
    parcel of who we are and thus - Your Lifestyle is
    truly the Innate You!
