One of the ‘trends’ or phrases of the past year or so has been about ‘living your best life’. Whilst it may be subjective to what living your best life actually is , I am all here for it. The best description I have come across is from Urban Dictionary which describes living your best life as:
“Life is short. Do what you need to do to live it to the fullest, however odd.”
I asked my Twitter family what it meant to them and here are a few of their answers…
Question for the TL: What does ‘living your best life’ mean to you?

Responses:
Living your best life is about:
1) being happy
2) loving yourself (flaws and all)
3) building healthy relationships with the people around you
4) finding your purpose
5) spending money on experiences (for sure)
6) being at peace & not entertaining negativity https://t.co/Vu7sLt0Rfi— Kelle Salle (@Kelle_S6) November 15, 2017
Go broke to do what you wanna do. Most excuses are not having enough money.

Peace and simplicity. Not worrying about the things I’m currently worrying about now

Definitely agree that self care is essential for living your best life!!! I can tell the difference when I slack on the self care.

What a great little article. I enjoyed reading this
Roland says
Hello. I read your post and I like it. I agree, living your life should start with self-care. I mean, if you can’t take care of yourself, how can you take care of anything else? Though you go through your struggles and you have other issues you have to deal with, that should never hold you back to living your life to the fullest. Great post

Thanks so much Roland! Definitely, no issue should stop you living life to the fullest!
Amanda says
Yassss!!! Sometime you have to be selfish. We get so caught up in everything else that we forget about ourselves. I plan to be intentional about self care and self love in the new year.
memoirsmusings (Char) says
YES AMANDA! That’s exactly it!

Tajinder Sandhu says
Great post dear, for me personally, living my best life means to be happy in everything that I do, whether that’s travelling more, wearing an amazing outfit, or collaborating on a post. As long as I’m 100% happy with something, I’m living the good life.

I completely agree with you. Although it’s so simple, it’s something we all forget in our busy day.

Loved this post so much, I always say ‘living my best life’ but rarely think about what that truly means, I completely agree about self-care being a big part of it! X
memoirsmusings (Char) says
That’s so true! Living your best life isn’t always about ‘being somewhere’ its about being happy and true to yourself and having a positive mindset xo

Hey Girl
Living your best life is certainly grown from self-care, If you’re not happy within yourself everything literally seems and feels shit, I’ve been in the lowest of places and felt this 100%. I am in such a good place and I’m finally living my best life in every possible way, inside and out.
This is a lovely post, Thank you for sharing it! Going to read your self care tips post now too
Much love, Becky – http://www.eyeful-events.com x x x
