Your 20s is the time to take charge of your life, it is okay if you do not get it together immediately. Ensure you are selfish with your time, look after yourself, pay attention to your mental health, and love the people who are important to you.
Your mental health is important
While your physical health is extremely important, investing time into taking care of your mind is also very essential. Stimulate it, challenge it, be conscious of what you’re exposing your mind to on a daily basis, and look after yourself. The same goes for your family and friends, make sure you are there for them whenever they may need you.
Go after your dream
Don’t become complacent during your 20s, instead put yourself out and challenge yourself. You should persist, move around, and be as creative as possible in your career. Now is your opportunity to mess up a few times, work in a job you hate, get back up, and then find your dream job. In the future, you will be glad you worked hard for it and you will be proud of yourself for trying.
Live on your own
Nothing feels more independent than moving out of your home and renting your own place. It may seem impossible to begin with but it’s a great way to learn about life early on. You will need to learn how to manage your money, look after yourself and of course, live life, and make mistakes.
Eat whatever you like
Eat incredible food, eat food from the other side of the world, eat food you wouldn’t usually eat, and learn how to cook dishes from scratch. Food can awaken all of the senses and you can find a lot of joy from food. Your metabolism is also 10 times faster than it will be in 10 years.
Make life choices
In your 20s it’s easy to get wrapped up in work, sleep, eat, weekend, work, sleep, eat, weekend and often we forget what we really want out of life. Take a break, discover yourself, find what you love to do, and do them. People often forget to actually sit down and contemplate what it is they really want but this is the point in your life where you really do have a chance to shape the future. Make sure you spend time alone because it is the only true way to get to know yourself.
