Less cliche form of 'everyday life'??

Question

I'm writing a paper (a very important one at that). My sentence states:

"They are ideals I have striven to exemplify not only through my education, but throughout my everyday life."

I want something else to replace 'throughout my everyday life' because it sounds so cliche, elementary, and BLAHH lol. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I don't know what 'ideals' you are 'exemplifying' but I hope that at least one of these will help/inspire you

"in daily life"

"in my private life"

"in my relationships with family/friends/community/etc"

"in all aspects of my life"

"in all facets of my life"

"in everything I do"

"whenever challenged'

"whenever faced with [difficult] choices"

Good luck!

Answer 2

but in my personal philosophy as well.

but through concrete actions.

Also, make sure to correct STRIVEN to STRIVED!

Answer 3

You could write this way, so as to sound smoother,less wordy and  less pompous, but effective:

They are ideals I have pursued, not only in my education, but also  my daily life.

Practise more punctuations and use words with more impact. Your content, interesting ideas, logic, etc in your paper should give you more points than mere vocabulary in your paper. Cheers!  :-))

Answer 4

"Worldly existence" is a bit cliche itself and a bit grandiose, but not elementary. And the "world" part of "worldly" subconsciously implies a commitment to "the bigger picture," to use another cliche.

Answer 5

How about "...throughout all aspects of what I do"

"...education, but in my personal activities"

Also, You should change the fisrt part to read "...ideals that I strive" Striven is not proper.
