A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of behaviors that makes sense to both others and oneself in a given time and place, including social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. The behaviors and practices within lifestyles are a mixture of habits, conventional ways of doing things, and reasoned actions. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview. Lifestyle Healthcare Ltd states that " a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity". Not all aspects of a lifestyle are entirely voluntaristic. Health Care states that "Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle choices available to the individual and the symbols she/he is able to project to others and the self."
