Quora great question of the week

What are the six habits that will change your life forever?

• Daily exercise - this is pretty fundamental to wellbeing. Go for a walk. Run. Lift some weights. Anything. Just be sure to make it a regular habit.

• Spiritual investment - whether it be going to church, meditating, or spending time in nature, it is important we invest into our mental health.

• Financial discipline - this is simple but so rare. Unfortunately we live in a world where most everyone feels a need to keep up with one another. Getting new clothes, vehicles and houses to impress people who don’t actually care about us with money we don’t even have.

• Relationship maintenance - as we get older it seems to be more and more challenging to keep friendships going strong. More work, a spouse, kids and BOOM you’re busy 24/7. Still, taking a minute to text or call an old friend to check-in is worthwhile and critical to maintaining quality relationships.

• Taking ownership - people are so quick to blame others for their failures. It’s a sign of humility and strong character when somebody acknowledges their life is a reflection of the decisions they’ve made. We have the power to get ourselves out of poor circumstances. We also always have the power to take ourselves to the next level.

• Cooking - food brings people together. For starters, cooking is far cheaper than dining at most restaurants. It is also much easier to eat healthy/clean when you have the autonomy to create your dishes. Additionally, cooking is a tremendous way to connect with loved ones as well as strangers. 297.9k views, 3.3k upvotes
