This is one of my more extensive pieces, so don’t try to read it if you’re already rushed for time. At first, I was going to split it into two or three articles and release them at different times, but then I realized it would be better for you if I just posted it all at once. Don’t be put off by the lengthy description; the exercise is relatively easy to perform and yields excellent results. The key is dedication and persistence. If you want to see results, you must put in the effort—you need to practice the skill regularly, not just for a week. I advise giving this method at least 30 days to prove itself. The next step is to assess the outcomes and decide whether or not to proceed. I do not doubt that you will.
A simple practice that will improve your life is about to be shown to you. It will make you happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise.
Using the Method of “Happy, Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise”
Here is a straightforward routine that, if practiced regularly, will quickly pay huge dividends. To risk oversimplification, if we consistently devote our time and energy to the things that will make us happy, healthy, affluent, and wise, we will progress toward realizing our full potential. This is one of my go-to workouts because it is simple to perform and remember to do. Do something daily that brings you closer to your happiness, health, money, and knowledge goals.
It need not be a massive undertaking; baby steps are the way to go. According to this notion, regularly making moderate adjustments over time will significantly impact. The key is to keep making those minor adjustments while making some new, slightly larger ones. Let’s spend a little time on each subtopic.
Happy:
Because we are all individuals, the things that bring us joy will vary from person to person. The issue is that we tend to view happiness as such a broad and nebulous notion, with its attainment being predicated on so many different things, that we surrender ourselves to the idea that true joy can only be found in fiction. That is entirely not the case. Appreciating the little things we usually take for granted is the key to contentment. Happiness will become a habit if you make those your primary concerns. Find something to cheer you up, and do it every day. You should eat salami sandwiches if they bring you joy. If music and dance make you joyful, then do both. If you enjoy playing with your children, make time for it. Put “watch a sunset” in your day-timer and ensure you’re somewhere you can observe the sunset if that brings you joy.
Every day, take five minutes upon waking and again before night to make a list of ten things for which you are thankful. If you’re not doing something every day that brings you closer to your happiness goals, it doesn’t matter what it is.
Healthy:
Making good decisions and doing the right things is the key to happiness and health. Caring for one’s health does not necessitate a life of sacrifice or restriction. Everything in moderation is acceptable, including food and activities. As with anything, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Every day, commit to doing something that will improve your health somehow. One example is choosing the stairs over the elevator or escalator. Reduce your coffee consumption by one cup per day and reduce the amount of sugar you add to your coffee by half. Breakfast fruit is a great idea. Include a salad in both your midday and evening meals. Take a stroll after supper. Hold a game of tag with your young ones. You should occasionally avoid deserts. Consume fewer, smaller meals. Take in some extra fluids. Every day, when you first wake up and before you sleep, take five minutes to sit quietly and focus on your breathing.
Many things that are beneficial to your health and well-being and contribute to your state of happiness are the same things. It’s possible to accomplish multiple tasks at once. Playing tag with your kids, for instance, is a fun and healthy way to get your recommended 30 minutes of exercise daily. If you find joy in observing the setting sun, then pack a salami sandwich and go out on a half-hour stroll to the ideal viewing location. If dancing brings you joy, the positive effects on your mental and physical health will compound. It’s not hard to accomplish, and you don’t need a membership to a fancy gym to do it. It need not consume you or control your every waking moment. If you want to improve your health and fitness, you have to do one thing every day. The result is that improving your health also improves your mood and self-esteem.
Wealthy:
Making more money or adding to what you already have is not as hard as you would believe. It’s possible to build cash through consistent actions and decisions. Simply put, you need to avoid the situation when it’s the end of the month before you run out of money. Buying in bulk at warehouse clubs like Costco or Price Club, or generic versions of name-brand items, are also simple ways to build capital systematically. Reading about wealth management and investing ideas would also benefit your financial situation. Keep in mind that you are responsible for the control of your finances. Consult professionals if needed, but try to minimize their input.
If you want to build wealth, consider investing the money you spent on your daily cup of coffee (sorry, Starbucks) instead. Though it may sound implausible, the three to five dollars a day you save by not buying coffee might add up to a significant sum if invested in a mutual fund or other interest-bearing investment. Although it may not seem like much, saving $5 daily for a year will result in an additional $1825 in savings, not including interest. Considering compound interest over a lifetime, it may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time you reach retirement age.
Making that a straightforward adjustment to better your health also did wonders for your bank account. Attending workshops and seminars related to your sector and career might help you increase your earnings by expanding the demand for your services and the higher salary you command.
If you want to improve your financial situation, shifting your mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance is best. By now, you should be well on your way to a life of plenty if you’ve been taking my recent posts’ suggestions to heart. Think about your beautiful life now and the even better one that awaits you with childlike wonder and delights every day. It will be if you train your mind to think that success is inevitable and effortless.
Wise:
Each of the three preceding categories is dependent on this one. Find new and improved strategies to achieve your goals regularly. Learn the secrets to contentment, health, and prosperity. You can accomplish this by setting aside time every day to do any of the following: read an excellent book; go to a seminar; listen to cassettes or CDs; consult with an expert; engage in regular meditation; engage in meaningful conversation with your children; investigate a role model; learn by doing. The takeaway here is that education is continuous. Learning is something that should never stop being a part of your life. It’s not as significant what you learn as much as the fact that you know. Commit yourself to expanding your mind and learning something new every day.
To Sum Up;
There is a sense of impossibility attached to each of these goals for the majority of people; we believe that we will never be delighted until we have achieved the impossible by working tirelessly and sacrificing everything for the rest of our lives, and that even then, we have no assurance that we will succeed. Unsurprisingly, most people don’t even try to become proficient in these areas if they think and believe that way. It’s nonsense to think these things are reserved for the select few, the most disciplined among us, or the best among us. We have learned to expect these things to be out of reach and challenging. NOT AT ALL. If you’ve been following along, you might be able to pick up on a common thread by now. One such subject is minimalism. It shouldn’t be hard; if it is, you’re probably doing something incorrectly. Small, consistent efforts over time add up to significant development. It’s also important to keep in mind that you should enjoy yourself. Nothing in this world is here to make you miserable, so enjoy yourself. Pursuing happiness, health, riches, and wisdom should not come at the expense of good times.
