6 Things I Learned in my 20s.

In our busy world with a demanding work schedule, we frequently lack the time to consider the most significant aspects of our lives, or we may even choose to ignore them while maintaining a constant façade of well-being. This  blog is relevant to the lessons I learned in my 20s as a result of my own experiences and by observing others.

In my opinion, setbacks and the fact that life doesn't go according to plan are the situations that are hardest for people in their 20s to accept. We begin planning our life plans and setting objectives in our early 20s, but occasionally things don't go according to plan, which causes great disappointment and whole lot of emotions.

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” - Robert F. Kennedy

1. Work hard and stay focused

No matter how many times you feel like giving up, you should always persevere if it's something you genuinely desire. Even while it could feel overwhelming at times, always remember that bigger tasks need more commitment and effort. Keep in mind that persistence pays off in the long run. If it's challenging, slow down, take a break, relax, clear your head, and then restart.

2. Don’t be afraid to take risks

Starting something new usually makes you nervous because all you can think about is how you're going to accomplish it, will it work, and what if it doesn't. Risk-taking requires enormous bravery, effort, and mental pressure. If you really want something, simply go ahead and accomplish it. If you work hard without any hesitation, it will pay off in the long run.

3. Take care of your health

Your health, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional, is one of the most crucial and frequently overlooked things. Because of our busy schedules, none of us have time to care for ourselves. But achieving something significant requires these three elements since they influence your ability to focus and embark on any task. We frequently assert that we are fine while ignoring any one of the three signs of ill health. Stop doing that, and let's start caring for ourselves.

“Health is a state of complete mental, social and physical well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” – World Health Organization, 1948

Some Quotes By Powerful Peoples:

1. “To keep the body in good health is a duty…otherwise we shall not be able to keep the mind strong and clear.” – Buddha

2. “Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.”-Anne Wilson Schaef

3. “Every negative belief weakens the partnership between mind and body.” – Deepak Chopra

4. Appreciate the small things

A benefit of appreciating the little things is that it makes life more satisfying and joyful. Because it serves as a constant reminder that life isn't always demanding and exhausting, taking the time to appreciate the "small things" can be quite beneficial. The happiness required to get through difficult times can be found in small, seemingly trivial moments.

How to appreciate small things?

Try to relax occasionally and enjoy doing nothing, spoil yourself with wholesome food, feel good about yourself, read a good book, and express your thankfulness for little things like how pleased you are to have such a beautiful life and how fortunate you are to have a loving family.

5. Start Manifesting

You can practise the exercise of manifesting by noting in your journal how you are feeling in the life you desire and how appreciative you are for it. You can employ a wide range of techniques for manifestation. The way that manifestation works is that it develops a strong sense of purpose and positive energy that keeps you driven to succeed.

What is Manifestation?

A self-help exercise, manifestation involves concentrating your thoughts on a desired result through techniques like mindfulness, visualization, and meditation in an effort to make it come true.

6. It’s ok to make mistakes and It's ok to be not ok

Don't be afraid of making mistakes because they are something that people do frequently and need to do. Simply attempt to do what you want; mistakes happen and learning from them is part of life. Then, try to move on. Similar to how it's acceptable to not be okay, you shouldn't always gather your wits and pretend like nothing happened. Just make an effort to communicate your feelings to your loved ones, ask for assistance, and take your time to recover. As we have always been told, time is a medicine that can heal any wound.

Role of Books in Greater Life:

Reading helps you focus, remember things, show empathy, and communicate better. It can lessen stress, enhance mental health, and lengthen your life. You can discover new things by reading that will aid in your professional and interpersonal success. Your physical and mental health will benefit from reading, and these advantages can last a lifetime.
