These are the most common habits of Luxury lifestyle
When was the last time you paused for a moment to reflect, taking time to embrace luxury in your daily life is a form of self-care. Luxury is not only about extravagance but it is also about finding beauty in unexpected places.
You may surround your life with expensive stuff, but it would not make sense if it is not aligned with your nature. Luxury is about a mindset that elevates ordinary things to the extraordinary.
In this article, we are going to explore the 10 signs that mark your ability to lead a luxury life. Habits that infuse a touch of luxury into your lifestyle; from savouring simple pleasures to embracing the finer things in life. Follow along to see if knowing or unknowingly you are doing these things.
1. Beginning your day mindfully
Instead of rushing through the morning routines, starting a day with mindfulness is a luxury habit. It can be taking time to appreciate the sunshine and stillness of the morning in the garden or sipping your coffee or tea with utmost awareness.
2. Dressing for Success
This is one of the most important traits found in people living with luxury habits. They invest in the best quality clothes that make them feel comfortable and confident. Luxury fashion doesn’t only translate to brands; it\’s all about how you feel when you wear the piece of art. It is wise to choose pieces that reflect your style and fit impeccably. It is more about who you are and less about the borrowed aspirations of what you want to be. Be a better version of yourself, and let the clothes make the statement about it.
3. Taste for fine dining
A true Luxury enthusiast is a patron of good food. I say patron because love to eat food that is not only delicious but also looks good. He treats himself to a gourmet meal even on a normal day, as he turns every moment into a special occasion.
4. Luxury habit of surrounding yourself with beauty
A spatial value to the life that exudes luxury. A luxury lover makes sure that his environment is not “only” expensive, but is aligned to his needs, nature and productivity. His surrounding is infused with sensory pleasures. Comfort and beauty nestled in lights, scents and textures. Artworks and decor that make a statement about his personality.
5. Travel with Purpose
I took a sole trip on my vintage bike to explore the western ghats. Ever since I have lived to relive those moments and look forward to doing it many more times again. I had a purpose to wander though, I visited many beautiful sites and temples to explore the beauty of South India. Travel done with purpose is the epitome of Luxury. Plan a trip aligned with your interests and immerse yourself in local culture.
6. Self-Care
A person who cultivates luxury habits in his lifestyle is keen on self-care. They truly reconcile that it is a good idea to take care of yourself. It is awesome to pamper ourselves once in a while with a Spa treatment, meditation, or simply a long bathing with scented oils. Self-care rituals can rejuvenate your spirit.
7. Learning something new
As I have stated above Luxury is not only about materialistic possessions; it is also about our personal growth. And growth is a direct result of adding something new to your own knowledge. It can be as simple as a hobby like pottery, reading books or acquiring a skill you desire. I am learning Chinese these days after German.
8. Quality over quantity
We live in a world of mass production. And most of the stuff which is “advertised” is what we don’t need. A luxury habit is to curate things rather than accumulate them. A fine piece of a watch or custom-made bag is what you should strive for rather than going on the cheap thrill of a shopping spree online.
9. Generosity
True luxury lies in the joy of sharing what we have, not what we don’t want. There are many people in the world who give away what they don’t need in their life, but there are few who give what they want. This is the key point that distinguishes a luxury habit of generosity from merely donating. Give the quality of life to someone you possess yourself. It is the most generous act you can do.
10. Practicing gratitude
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is Thank You it will be enough.” — Meister Eckhart.
Recognise the luxury of having a fulfilling life and be grateful for it. Money would solve many problems but not all of them. You will need people, mentors and well-wishers for the problem that money won’t solve. Gratitude is an opportunity to nurture these relationships to enjoy the fine things in life. Gratitude magnifies the joy of luxury.
To conclude, Luxury habits are all about celebrating the simple moments of everyday life. Which of these habits do you have?
