The beginning of the year is very symbolic for changing the things we want more or less of in our lives.
For most individuals, this is one of the most conscious times of the year. People make New Year resolutions. Many families create plans together.
I’ve already created a personal mantra for myself to ensure that I increase my own quality of life.
My personal mantra states, “Every minute is a miracle.” I am using this mantra as a reminder that the 1,440 minutes in a day that I am privileged to have, are to be spent wisely. An hour of my time may include: spending meaningful time with my nephew, reading or teaching children how to manage money.
What’s your personal mantra? What does an increased quality of life mean for you?
Now, quality of life does not only include money. Making conscious decisions about the foods that you eat also impacts your quality of life. There is a saying, “Your health is your greatest wealth.” This saying is totally true!
Here are some steps to ensure that the quality of life for your family is increased every day:
- Set a Family Quality of Life Plan.
- Identify a holistic “WHY” for the family. Why is it important to make these changes to increase our quality of life? Health, Finances, Space, Time, Play etc.,
- Schedule dates on a calendar for the family to revisit the plan once a month. The best proven method for success is to analyze, strategize and then take ACTION! Revisiting the family plan gives you a quick opportunity to get back on track.
- Once a week, each family member should do something nice for themselves as well as for another member of the family that does not involve spending money. Self-love and love of others is so important.
Help your CEO kid, by showing them that by making large or small changes their quality of life increases and increasing the consciousness of your family will definitely lead to savvier financial choices.
Until next time,
Be Conscious and remember, “Every minute is a miracle!”
