Types of lifestyles and picking the one that is right for you

There are several types of lifestyles that you might hear about.

People often talk about an “active lifestyle” or a “healthy lifestyle.”

You might have also heard the terms: bohemian, nomadic, and luxury lifestyle.

What do each of these look like (and what do their opposites look like)?

Well, an active lifestyle is used to depict a person who is busy and productive.

They may fill their time with exercise and outdoor adventures.

However, they could also be the person who is constantly engaged in social events or takes part in clubs or groups.

A healthy lifestyle is also sometimes used to describe someone who spends a lot of time exercising or playing outdoors, but there is a little more to it.

This person isn’t just busy doing things—they are also eating right and taking care of their body.

The bohemian and nomadic lifestyles also share some similarities.

Those living a Bohemian lifestyle like to travel around and are often artistic.

They seem to have a deep spiritual connection.

Conversely, those living a nomadic lifestyle don’t just travel a lot—they move.

Roots and responsibility are not their main concern.

Those living a lifestyle of luxury enjoy the finer things in life.

They buy the best things, eat the most decadent foods, and spend lots of money on things they enjoy.

I think it is normal to have a few various lifestyles in each of us.

Embrace the pieces of different lifestyles that make you happy, and ditch those you don’t like.

Your lifestyle directly results from the life you live—so make your own and don’t box yourself in.

You can create and change your lifestyle whenever or as much as you want to!
