Ways to Become a More Well-Rounded Person

Jwell roundedust over 30 percent of all Americans surveyed in one study reported that they are happy with their lives, according to TIME magazine.

Whether it’s your job that has you feeling less than fulfilled or you’re stuck in a rut in your personal life, breaking free from your normal routine can help you find the happiness you’re lacking. Keep reading to learn four ways you can become a more well-rounded person today.

1. Read More

Ask yourself when the last time was that you picked up a book, a newspaper, or even a magazine for a nice read. When our lives get busy, this relaxing pastime is often one of the first things to go.

But reading is a simple way to disconnect from the demands of our busy lives. It helps you relax. It’s also an easy way to squeeze a few moments of peace out of your busy day. If you want to take this tip one step further, choose to read books that help expand your skills or open your eyes to new ideas.

2. Take a Class

While reading can help keep your mind active, if you really want to challenge your brain and improve your skills, sign up for a class. Most community centers offer free or inexpensive classes to teach you business skills, history lessons, and more. You could go for a class related to your career, or just something that interests you.

Lifelong learning has been proven to boost your mental health, make you a more involved citizen, and even help you live a longer life. If your local community center doesn’t offer classes, check with community colleges, adult learning centers, or even libraries for other opportunities.

3. Rethink How You Use Your Free-time

Even if it doesn’t feel that way, most of us have lots of little pockets of free-time throughout our day. Maybe you ride the bus or train to work. Or you have a long lunch break that you spend at your desk.

Many of us spend these moments of downtime on our commute, at lunch, before bed, or other times throughout the day scrolling through social media or playing games on our smartphones. Changing how you spend those small time pockets can have a big effect on your well-being.

Rather than reaching for your phone, grab a book for some of that reading we mentioned before. Instead of opening up Facebook or Instagram, read the latest story on the New York Times, National Geographic, or other news and education sites. Your commute is also a great time to listen to an audiobook.

4. Break Free from the Office Drag

It’s tough to be well-rounded when you’re stuck in a job that not only sucks up a lot of your time but also leaves you feeling drained. If you are able to, breaking free from this job and finding a career that allows you to have a better work-life balance can make a huge difference in your life. Companies like Amway can help with that.

A sometimes misunderstood direct sales giant, Amway is anything but a pyramid scheme. Unlike scam businesses that only allow individuals to earn money by recruiting more people to sell products, Amway empowers business owners by giving them access to products that clients not only want but also trust. And Amway business owners make their money through sales of these products, rather than through recruitment.

Starting your own business gives you the power to be your own boss and prioritize a better work-life balance. It can also help you break free from the nine-to-five drag or the negativity of your current work space.

Becoming a More Well-Rounded Individual

Becoming a well-rounded individual can help you live a happier, more fulfilling life. The next time you have some extra free time, rethink how you spend it. Sign up for a language or skills class at your local community center. Instead of scrolling through social media before bed, pick up a book. And if your job is pulling you down, consider making a career change that puts your happiness in your own hands. Before you know it, you’ll have more energy and drive, feel happier, and be living a life you love.
