The Luxuries in the New Normal

Life as we normally know it has definitely changed. Hence, the new phrase, ‘New Normal’. Before the lockdown, luxuries in the New Normal such as taking good care of your health wasn’t a priority and healthy habits were something you could simply put off on your to-do list.

Have you been wanting to try a new fitness regime? You have probably postponed it for as long as you can as there doesn’t seem to be an urgent need for it, especially if you feel that you’re already keeping a good diet and you’re still pretty young to get any serious illness. Been meaning to move to another community that’s less dense, in hopes of having just a bit more privacy? Maybe you’ve put it off for as long as you can, thinking it’s not really much of an essential. It’s something that’s not on the same level as the items you’ve put on your ‘urgent’ to-do list. You’ve got places to be and deals to close, and squeezing in some time to go to the doctor’s for a general appointment or starting on a new fitness regime seemed trivial at the time.

 

Pre-pandemic, most people would opt to allot their finances for fancy dinners in new restaurants, watching the latest movies in the most comfortable theaters, lavish trips out of town or the country, and more. But with the recent changes the world has faced, we are obliged to stay at home for as much as we can, and limit our movement only to the most ‘essential’ activities. These essential activities include going to the grocery to pick up food items, quickly stopping by a pharmacy to purchase some medicines, or going to your workplace if you’re part of the essential workforce.

In the iconic children’s book entitled “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, there is a  famous quote that goes, “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Health, one of the luxuries in the New Normal, definitely goes beyond the physical. Aside from making sure we don’t get any sickness, we should also be looking after the mental and emotional aspects of our health. If one aspect is left unchecked, it’s bound to affect the other health aspects.

This is why the concept of self-care is all the rage especially as of this date. Through living in one of the luxury homes by Brittany, you can definitely practice self-care by simply being at home. Taking good care of our health has to be holistic and consistent.

So aside from setting that annual general doctor’s appointment and starting on new fitness regimes, what else is there to do to achieve this, especially at this time? The simple answer to this equation: living life in one of Brittany’s luxurious residential communities.
