| THIS IS 40! |
As the sun sets and I blow out the candles to my 30s, I’ve come to the conclusion that something beautiful comes from this decade of life.
An awakening.
A birth of your true self seems to come. You come to an age where you realize other people’s opinions don’t matter and you bloom into the person you were meant to be.
So here’s my list of advice that my 30s taught me:
- It’s okay to stand up for yourself. It doesn’t make you a bitch. It shows you respect yourself
- 4 quarters > 100 pennies. A small group of friends is wayyyy better
- Set boundaries.
- Love your body
- Love yourself. Comparison is truly the thief of joy!
- Laugh. Often. And until it hurts
- Don’t take everything too seriously
- Travel
- Find perspective
- Trust your gut
- Compliment strangers- put smiles on faces
- Call that person.
- Enjoy the moment
- The things that seem hard now… will be a blip later
- Enjoy time with yourself.
- Shine.
- Take care of yourself. Inside and out. You only have this one body and life.
- Wear sunscreen and moisturizer
- Be yourself
- Put the credit card down.
- Read
- Take naps
- Be a kind human
- Don’t be selfish
- Mental health is important
- Take days off and remember it’s just a job
- Growth comes from failure
- Say no
- Ditch the toxic people
- Be true to your moral and ethical compass
Don’t be mistaken.
This is a journey. Not a race.
There is no finish line.
It will be messy. You will cry.
But you will also smile.
You will laugh.
You will love.
You will bloom.
You are embarking on a beautiful new beginning to your true self.
Enjoy the ride.
