What If You Took Your Wellbeing As Seriously As Your Finances?

Five takeaways:

1. Early in this piece, the writer describes a “wheel of wellbeing” that equally weighs physical, social, spiritual, environmental, financial, occupational, emotional, intellectual happiness.
2. The pandemic showed us, both individually and collectively, that our wellbeing is not to be taken for granted – and something worth striving to cultivate.
3. One must invest in their own wellbeing. While this could be as simple as getting a massage, it may not be a financial investment– one can go on long walks or catch up with an old friend to build wellbeing.
4. Protect your assets: We must protect the wellbeing that we already have. Our health, our physicality, our mental acuity, our careers– we must invest time and effort into maintaining and building them.
5. Respect your limits: We have to remember that wellbeing is a function of balance. Some of the important aspects of our wellbeing can be leaned into a bit too hard, at the detriment of others. We might see an activity like cycling to be an aspect of our wellbeing, but to spend all of our time on the bike would be to undercut important aspects of our lives.
