Investing in Your Future Happiness

Investing in your future is more than simply putting money into your 401k or a savings account for a rainy day. Sure, having financial stability is something many of us crave is a great goal to strive towards. However, you need to invest in other areas of your life to make sure you are fully investing in your future in more ways than simply having money.

Debt

If you are in debt, then it is worth looking to repay what you owe before you start to think about savings. If you are paying more in interest on debts than you would make in a savings account, it makes more sense to clear your debts, so they cost you less before you put money into a savings account.

Health

When it comes to planning for your future, it is only natural we talk about investing in your health too. Eating well, exercising, taking care of your body and keeping to your regular health checks are all great ways to invest in your health to make sure you are in the best shape possible for your life. Avoid neglecting your health by making sure your routine appointments are kept up to date, and you visit your physician should anything not feel right.

Rid Yourself of Toxicity

This means different things for different people. It could be the removal of toxic people from your life, stopping any toxic habits or changing toxic personality traits. But if something isn’t making you happy remove it from the equation. If it is your employment, ask yourself what it is that makes you feel this way and what type of job role would fulfil you more? Put steps into motion to help you achieve what you are missing in your life and work towards a happier, less toxic future.

Set Goals

Some people thrive off setting goals and love having something to work towards. If this is you, set yourself some life goals to work towards to give you motivation. Setting goals gives you a clear destination and a road map you can follow to help you reach your goal whatever it may be.

Gratitude, Mindfulness and Meditation

It goes without saying that life can get hectic for everyone. Especially when you add a job and family to the mix, look into how you can add mindfulness to your day by practising the art of clearing your mind and focussing on the here and now.

Write a gratitude journal and learn to be grateful for all the things you have in your life and stop worrying about what you don’t have. Meditation can help you to focus your mind and reduce stress if practised regularly. Investing in yourself means investing in your future self and your future happiness too. Being happy with what you have and how you live your life is a big part of that.
