What's Your Lifestyle?

What sort of lifestyle would you say you lead?
Have you ever thought that the elements surrounding you may influence your lifestyle?

When it came time to moving out of home my mum gave me some advice. Advice that is extremely beneficial when choosing who you are going to live with. My mum said “you can determine ones lifestyle or living habits by the state of their bedroom”. Very wise words from my mother.

So what does she mean by how a bedroom is?

From past experience if one’s room is messy more often than it is tidy that person may care less for the rest of the house. But then it can also be viewed that someone’s room may be untidy for a specific reason. Maybe the person is hardly home in a week and has literally gone in and out of their room: dumping stuff, changing clothes. Then getting home late at night and just wanting to crash out and before you know it the room is a mess.
A bedroom is just a small section of the house. When owning your own home the décor is reflective of your personality. Rumi on Lifestyles & Home Decor Inspiring poet, Rumi tells us we can enhance our lives by surrounding ourselves with beautiful home décor (http://www.therumiclub.org/?page_id=30). Also how you maintain your home reflects your inner situation and the life you live; lifestyle.

When you break down lifestyle it is simple; life and style. What is your style? How are you living your life? Does your style and life become one?

To be honest, my bedroom is quite messy now......because I felt really tired after work. I hope I have a relax time everyday, so I can stay at home, cook some food and share with my best friends, or maybe going out to have coffee Latte or a piece of mud cake.

My life style is changed. I have to keep myself busy--studying, working. Because I believe that "you reap what you sow"!
