During the month of January, celebrate International Quality of Life month by focusing on ways you can improve your life and the lives of those around you.
The World Health Organization (WHO) views “quality of life” in context of one’s culture, their standard of living and the value system of a nation1. It is ultimately up to each person to decide what things in life that are important to them, such as good physical or emotional health, financial stability, or stable and fulfilling relationships.
Here are some ideas that can help you achieve the best quality of life:
- Check in on your financial health. Retirement savings, medical costs and monthly expenses are among the top financial worries faced by people worldwide. Find out where you stand and where you can improve with these Tips for Building Financial Security.
- Be grateful. It’s easy to get caught up in the changes we feel we need to be made to improve our lives and forget all the wonderful things we already have. Take a minute to reflect on current things in your life that make you happy and be grateful for them, no matter how small, like good friends or your favorite book.
- Reach out to friends and colleagues. Good social wellness improves relationships with those around you, increases your self-esteem and helps you build emotional resilience. Take time to send a quick “hello” to a friend or connect with your colleagues in the Global Well-Being Community.
