10 things I’ve learned at age 24 💗

I recently turned 24 this year and looking back, I’ve learned a lot of lessons while becoming a full-fledged adult! Transitioning from your teenage years to adulthood can be super challenging and there’s bound to be a lot of ups & downs. Now at 24, I would love to share some big sister advice in hopes that it’ll help even just one person out there ☺️

💗10 things I’ve learned at age 24⚡️

1. Make time for self-care. Setting aside time to pamper myself weekly is doing wonders for my mental health. Personally, some self-care activities include painting my nails, doing my skincare routine and making crafts! 🌸

2. Don’t feel guilty for establishing your personal boundaries. Those who matter WILL respect them. 🤷‍♀️

3. You are not defined by your level of productivity. Moving at your own pace will be more beneficial in the long run than rushing into things just to “keep up” with others. 🙏🏻

4. The people you surround yourself with do influence you greatly. Having life-affirming, positive friends can be a game-changer for you when dealing with challenges and hardships. 🧡

5. Don’t avoid your emotional lows. Instead of distracting yourself and chasing highs, let yourself deal with difficult, painful feelings authentically. I promise you will grow and overcome what might seem like the “lowest” moments of your life. 😔

6. Regularly express your gratitude to the people who you love! Do not expect your friends and family to know how much they mean to you if you don’t communicate it to them. 🥰

7. Be selective with who and what you give your time to. You don’t have to take up every opportunity or offer that comes your way, so prioritise what resonates deeply with you. ⏰

8. Find mentors who can guide you towards your aspirations and life goals. This could be specific to your career ambitions but it could also be someone who gives you more general life advice ⚠️📝

9. Please never stop dreaming!! Our circumstances may not always allow us to follow our passions, but this doesn’t mean that we have to let go of them completely. 💭

10. External validation is not everything — you have to affirm yourself too. Trust in your potential to do GREAT things. 🤩
