5 Life Hacks I Learned in My 30s That Changed My Life Forever
Turning 30 can be a scary milestone for some people, especially if they feel like they haven’t achieved their goals or fulfilled their potential. However, it can also be a great opportunity to reflect on the lessons learned from the past decade and apply them to the future. In this story, I will share some of the life hacks that I learned in my 30s from experience that I wish I knew in my 20s. These are not meant to be regrets, but rather insights that can help you live a better and happier life.
Life Hack #1: Love Yourself and Be Happy Being You
One of the most important life hacks that I learned in my 30s is to love myself and be happy being me. In my 20s, I used to compare myself to others and seek validation from external sources. I was insecure about my appearance, my abilities, and my choices. I let other people’s opinions and expectations dictate how I felt about myself.
In my 30s, I realized that there is no one like me in the world, and that is something to celebrate. I learned to appreciate my strengths and talents, as well as my flaws and weaknesses. I stopped caring too much about what others think of me, and focused on what makes me happy. I embraced my individuality and preferences, and respected myself for who I am.
