How to improve life quality? 3 things to focus on

Everybody on this planet wants to improve the life quality, they want a more peaceful, happy, and meaningful existence.

To live the best life as an individual we need to put in lots of effort and take care of all the important areas of life. It's not a one-day work, it is the lifelong practice to improve all the areas continuously.

Everybody has a different definition for best life, but all the definitions are based on three aspects Health, Career, Relationships.

Everybody wants good health, a high-paying career, and good relationships. But to achieve these things is not that easy, for that we need to do consistent efforts throughout life.

So in this article, I am going to discuss how you can improve your life quality by focusing on these 3 important areas and share with you some important tips with the help of which you can maintain good health, relationships, and consistently grow in your career. Let's begin...

What is the quality of life?

World health organization defines the Quality of life as "An individual perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value system in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns."

This definition highlights all the important areas of life. As I said the meaning of successful life is different for different people, some people consider having a high amount of money as an indication of a successful or quality life,

some consider having the best relationship is a successful life, some consider having social status and power or position means a successful life. Some consider living like a monk is the best way to live life.?

Nobody is right or wrong. It's individual perceptive and choice. Personally, I think Quality of life covers 3 important areas Health, Career, and relationships. How good is your health? How fast are you growing in your career? how strong relationships do you have?

When we maintain the balance between these three factors, then the quality of our life improves automatically. It's not about focusing on one factor only.

Most of the time people focus fully on their career and earning money to become rich but during that, they forget about their health and relationships.?

When they become old, they have lots of money but nobody is there to take care of them and even their body is also not going to support them. So Maintaining the proper balance in these three areas is the key to living a successful life.

You should take care of your health first and also maintain good relationships because these two things will support you in your bad time.

Then focus on earning money, build a strong professional career so that you can earn money, and give all types of comfort to your family.

Let's understand these three factors in detail -

1. Relationships -

This is the most important aspect of happy and quality peaceful life. The true fact is that your health also depends on this, the better relationships you have the more healthy and happy you are.

It's very important that you should have a strong relationship with your family members, friends, and life partner. Recently, there was a survey conducted amongst the adults which asked them what's their important life goals?

And over 80% said that their measure life goal was to get rich and earn lots of money and 50% of those same adults said that another measure life goal was to become famous.

With this type of thought process, they were so much motivated to work hard and continuously busy with work only, because their ultimate goal was to earn money.

They completely ignored the two most important pillars of quality life i.e. health and relationships.

The result is, at the end of their life, they were in a miserable situation because they didn't have good health and nobody was there for them,?This actually represents an example of unbalance amongst the three pillars of life.

It's very important that we should understand life is not just about earning money or becoming famous it is more than that.

This generation needs to understand the fact that doing 20hr of work just to earn money is a complete waste. I know work is important but along with that, it's important to spend quality time with your loved ones.

Spending quality time with your family, friends, and spouse not only makes you happy, stress-free but also gives you the best fun memories that support you in your hard time and help you to stay strong when you face life challenges.

There was a study conducted by Harvard University on adult development the aim of the study was to understand people from the time when they were a teenager to their old age in order to see what really keeps people happy and healthy? This was the longest study of adult life called Harvard study of adult development.

Under that study, researchers asked people questions about their work, health, home life, and daily routine.

They tracked the group of people for more than 75 years. This is one of the longest of study of adult life ever done on this planet.

The result or lesson those researchers have found is that life quality is not about wealth or fame or working harder and harder.

After 75 years of study, researchers got that good relationship keeps us happier and healthier. They concluded the study with three big lessons -?

• Social connections are really good for us that kill loneliness. It turns out that the people who are more socially connected have good friends and family relations. They are more happy and healthy also live longer.
• Quality of your relationships matters. It's not important how many friends you have or family members with you, it's all about how many of them come to you when you are in a problem.
• Good relationships not just protect our bodies but also protect our brains.

So this study clearly shows that the secret of quality life is having good relationships with your friends, family members, and your community.

Make sure you should keep some time aside from your busy lifestyle to build quality relationships.?

2. Health -

Health is the utmost important factor because without this we can't exist. When we talk about health there are two types of health that we need to take care of i.e. Mental health and physical health.

In this fast-changing digital world, people don't have the time to take care of their health. They have the time to scroll down mobile phones for more than 5 hr, they have time to watch TV late at night but they don't have 30 min for their own health.?

They don't have the time to take care of their body in which they will be going to live for their entire life.

How disappointing is this? and again people expect a quality life. With this type of laziness, it is not possible to live a healthy life.

Taking care of health is the first step towards a quality life. This human body is a beautiful gift we got from Nature and God,

So it's our responsibility to take care of this body and use it to do something better in life. It's our duty to make it strong and healthy with the help of proper diet and daily exercise.

Start observing your eating habits, What type of food do you consume daily? Are you eating an ample amount of fresh fruits and vegetables or not?

Are you consuming more amount of bakery foods or fried foods? How much amount of sugar/salt you are eating? ask these types of questions to yourself and evaluate your eating habits.

What type of food we eat will decide how healthy we are. If you eat unhealthy food your body becomes unhealthy and vice-versa. See I am not a dietician who can tell you what to eat and whatnot. But we can learn it from the internet or consult with doctors.

So 1st thing you should focus on eating healthy and fresh foods and avoiding unhealthy foods. The next thing you need to focus on is at least daily 30 min of exercise. Because when...
