Life is full of ups and downs, and the key to happiness is learning how to appreciate every moment and forge a path that is true to you. Living life to the fullest takes conscious effort, but some women have a natural way of embracing everything life has to offer. So how do they do it? Here are 15 common traits you’ll notice in women who are making a point to live their best lives no matter what.
1. They’re fearless in pursuing their dreams.
Everyone has dreams, but not everyone believes they can achieve them. Instead of taking the right steps toward what they want, they let fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, and fear of the unknown hold them back. Women who live life to the fullest won’t let fear stop them from working towards their dreams. They believe in their abilities and what they are capable of.
2. They are resilient.
Women who have built resilience have experienced setbacks and disappointments along the way, but it has taught them how to bounce back with grace and determination. They view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than as stumbling blocks, and they make a point of looking for a lesson in any mistake.
3. They embrace change.
Change is inevitable; what matters is how you navigate and adapt. Women who live life to the fullest see change as an opportunity, and they welcome it with open arms. Whether it’s switching jobs, moving to a new city, or walking away from a relationship that isn’t working, change can be scary, but it can lead to more than you ever could have imagined.
4. They are always learning.
Women who live life to the fullest embrace learning new things, whether it’s at work or in their personal lives, and they fully believe that there’s nothing wrong with being a beginner. Developing new skills, exploring different cultures, or delving into new experiences fuels passion and curiosity—what better way to spend our time on this earth?
5. They spend time working on their relationships.
Nurturing deep, meaningful connections with others is a huge part of living life to the fullest. Women who prioritize their relationships inevitably have stronger bonds with family, friends, and colleagues, which gives them the confidence to take more risks and chase their dreams knowing they always have love and support behind them.
6. They practice gratitude.
When you focus on everything you have to be grateful for, it’s a lot easier to drown out the negative. Women who are living their lives to the fullest choose to look on the bright side. They appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, find joy in simple pleasures, and express gratitude for every blessing that comes their way.
7. They live in the present.
Enjoying your life depends on being able to leave the past behind and focus on right now. Women who live their life to the fullest don’t waste time on things they can’t change. Instead, they wake up every day and decide to make the most of what they have while taking steps towards what they want.
8. Balance is important to them.
A happy life is the sum of its parts, and that means being able to make time for the things that matter. From cultivating a career they love to building strong relationships to finding peace within themselves, balancing priorities is an important skill that takes time and practice to master.
9. They are resourceful with money.
From finding renter-friendly ways to decorate their apartment to scoring the best travel deals, there’s nothing these women can’t accomplish with a little resourcefulness and a well-thought-out budget. They may have a “you only live once” mentality, but they still know how to organize their finances responsibly to avoid stress eventually.
10. They err towards optimism.
Some people stay prepared for anything by expecting the worst and hoping for the best, but women who are living their lives to the fullest are the opposite. They’d rather think positive than stress out over things that may never happen anyway. They know they can conquer any challenge that comes their way, so they choose to stay optimistic and avoid the bitter pessimism that others succumb to.
11. They give back.
They aren’t too busy living their own lives to do what they can for people in need. From donating to worthy causes to volunteering their time, giving back can be extremely fulfilling. It’s important to them to not only make the most of their own lives but help make life better for others as well. They understand that every little bit counts towards making the world a better place.
12. They don’t get FOMO.
These women know what is and isn’t worth their time. While they strive to say yes to a wide variety of experiences, they know where their boundaries are and don’t worry about missing out. Not everything is meant for everyone, and women who are living authentic lives can easily sit some things out without a second thought.
13. They are true to themselves.
Knowing who you are and what you want is half the battle, and these women have done the work to figure that out for themselves. And now that they know, they are determined to live a life that feels right to them, no matter what anyone says or thinks.
14. They embrace adventure.
Adventure means something different to everyone, but for the woman who is dedicated to living her best life, it’s all about getting out of her comfort zone and experiencing new things. If something sounds scary, she’s even more interested in doing it. She has a try anything once mentality (within reason) because she believes if she doesn’t try, she’ll never know.
15. They are willing to make the hard choices.
Some choices can be difficult, like when to leave a relationship that has run its course or how to let go of a friendship that is no longer serving your highest good. Women who are dedicated to living their life to the fullest aren’t afraid of making tough choices. They know what they deserve and will fight for it because the hard path can lead to the biggest rewards.
