The Big 3: Health, Wealth, and Relationships

Welcome to part two in our series highlighting ideas from my new book The Prosperity Project: Building Abundance and a Map for a Life Well Lived. Hope this is helpful as we finally crossover into the new year 2021! Upward and onward out of 2020 to the best year of our lives!

The Big 3: Health, Wealth, and Relationships

The three most important pieces to our happiness begin with our health. It is the most important thing that we have and will take with us for the rest of our lives! Good or bad it is going to be the major engine driving us on our journey. Mental health is so critical for us to get right and it is really under pressure from a lot of different sources. Our thoughts and how we shape them determine who we are, how we act/react, how the day works for us or against us, and whether we achieve our goals or not. One of the most important steps we can take is to unplug from our phones and the news. Do a digital detox and just see how you feel staying away from the constant negativity. Start your day with a mindful morning with your coffee or water and no phone, tv, spouse, or children around to just have 15 minutes of you time.

Physically it is time we focus on getting moving after the holidays and our current lockdown situation. Time to look at where we stand with our weight, daily movement, and diets! Putting this as a top priority will give us a sense of control in our lives that is missing due to the craziness we are going through right now. Use a checklist that you can put on your refrigerator to keep it front of mind about your goals and daily activities. Include a check mark for eating a clean diet, exercise, weight goal, and a journal area on each page. This will allow you to incrementally stack good days back to back to back and get you feeling great in your new quest for happiness in 2021!

Wealth is number two on our list and it is time to review and make a game plan for 2021! 2020 provided quite the thrill ride in the stock market and ended the year strong returns. This is a good time to assess your portfolio and depending on your time before your retirement make sure you have your risk at the right level in the stock market. There is always a chance of a setback in stocks after such a feverish rise in prices. Look at your budget and continue to eliminate unnecessary subscriptions and expenses and revisit you retirement planning goals and how you sit now.

Relationships have never been more important in our lives! This lock down is a source of separation from socialization we have never dealt with before. Take the time to sit down and make a list of people who you really hold close to your heart and make a list. Identify those you have not had contact with recently and reach out! Everyone is so happy to hear from those they love right now. Avoid negativity wherever you are able and stay off of superficial discussions on social media that make you emotional. It is a time to really take care of yourself and control your interactions that put you in a good or bad space.

Keeping focus on the Big 3 gives you a great starting point for building momentum in 2021! I look forward to sharing the last of the series on growth, adventure, and legacy soon! Join us for our future blogs, newlsetters, and event announcements at johnlohrenz.com
