Take these 5 steps to “luxe up” your life now.
After a rollercoaster few years that took a huge toll on all of us (Great Resignation, anyone?), everyone’s looking for a way to incorporate a little more joy – and ease – into our daily lives.
If you’ve been looking for ways to de-stress and embrace more ease, you’ve come to the right place. Here are five ways you can pump up the luxe factor in your life, no matter your budget.
Get clear about your version of luxury.
You can’t hit a target you can’t see. Spend some time defining what feels like luxury to you. Don’t worry about anyone else’s expectations, or what you “should” want. Decide for yourself what’ll make your heart sing and catapult you out of bed in the morning. That’s your kind of luxury.
Whether you see luxe living as jet-setting from country to country in the latest couture or living the stress-free life of a ‘beach bum,’ you can have exactly what you want – if you know what it is.
Once you’ve decided on your path to luxury, visualize your way there and make your plan.
Incorporate little luxuries into your daily routine.
What are the things you love that you save for a “special occasion”? Your life is the occasion, and you deserve to luxuriate and celebrate yourself every day! You don’t have to go all out or break the bank to enjoy everyday luxury.
Give yourself permission to enjoy the special things you love whenever you want.
- Get all dressed up – even if you have nowhere to go!
- Set the table and eat off the good china, just because.
- Light that expensive candle you’ve been saving.
You deserve to indulge in the things that bring you joy.
The more you embrace your ideal life – the one where luxury comes naturally – the sooner you’ll make it your regular way of living. Start right now.
Make memories with someone you love.
The greatest luxury we have is time. It’s a finite resource, and we never know when any of us will run out of it. How do you want to invest yours?
Think of the people you love most. How can you create moments that matter with them? Take the time to pour into their lives, and allow them to fill you up as well.
Unplug. For real.
In a world where we’re constantly connected, and our work, business, and home lives have become completely enmeshed, unplugging is the ultimate luxury. Taking a break from your gadgets and tuning out the noise of other people’s demands is a precious freedom.
Give yourself a break from it all. Commit to an unplugged day at least once a month. Do whatever you have to do to make it happen – pre-schedule content, set an email auto-responder, alert family and friends.
Take the time to relax, renew, and reset yourself before heading back into the hustle and bustle. You deserve it.
Heal your relationship with money.
One of women’s biggest stressors is the state of our finances. Lots of women worry they aren’t saving enough. The most anxious imagine ending up as bag ladies, unable to support themselves in their old age.
Taking charge of your finances is the most powerful thing you can do to up-level your life and live more luxuriously.
We can’t predict the future, and there are some financial forces outside our control. Despite that, there are financial steps you can take to build your money confidence and eliminate financial fear. Decide now to educate yourself about your finances, and ways to make your money grow.
Investing in financial education – and taking action – will pay dividends that make the rest of your life more luxe.
