Feeling stagnant in your mid 20s…. 😞

PSA: just my thoughts!

I think we’ve all been there.

You go through your 20s in various stages - you start of excited or anxious to be stepping into adulthood, you go through the motions of life and after awhile you start feeling jaded. You start to compare yourself to your peers and feel that there is nothing new/good in your life.

Honestly social media is so powerful in both good and bad ways. If you are here, I assume you are on other social media platforms as well (IG, Tiktok, FB etc). And seriously, sometimes scrolling through my IG feed makes me question so many things in life.

I see some friends doing sooo well in life, moving up their career ladder, driving a sports car, traveling the globe.

Some are moving on into the next phase of life with a new house, a baby even!

Sometimes you wonder what are you doing with your life.

But at the end of the day, please remember that 90% of the content you see on social media is ~curated~ to show the good side of life.

Behind that new house is perhaps a 20-30 year loan, you don’t need to feel jealous! You’ll get there too and you’ll realize how much financial planning you’ll have to go through. Or perhaps it was the 5th attempt before they secured that house?

Behind that luxurious car is probably hours of slogging and facing workplace stress, perhaps leading an unhealthy lifestyle.

I’m not trying to put down other people’s successes, but rather remind you that you only see their successes and not failures!

And the important thing here is, social media is your cue to action.

If seeing all the successes of your friends gives you FOMO, use that as your motivation to better yourself!!

Start small with a new hobby or a simple goal.

Find out what is your “push factor”.

Some people “do it for the gram” - for example he/she records a workout just to post it on IG.

But if that works for you, that makes you workout, then I say please do it.

Oh but please, don’t get engaged just for the sake of “something new” 😂 (it’s engagement/wedding season on my feed, not sure about yours)

TLDR; going through a crisis/feeling jaded in your 20s-30s is so normal and i believe in using social media as a positive motivation to work on yourself!

comment 👍🏻 if you relate 😗
