22 Things I’ve Learned By 22

1. Taking care of your body and mind are both equally as important. Do not take for granted the one vessel to experience this incredible thing called life.

2. You are able to cope and move on from things far worse than you ever believe you could, just trust in the process. Keep on keeping on.

3. Quality over quantity for everything!

4. Trust and communication are THE two most important components of MY relationships. Focus on these two things and the rest will work itself.

5. EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY! People and emotions come into your life long enough for you to experience the necessary lesson then leave again. Everything passes both the pain and immense pleasure. Use it as incentive to make the most out of each experience.

5 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN STUCK IN A RUT

Let’s face it, in life we are constantly stuck in situations. Stuck in a dead-end job not knowing what other path to take. Stuck studying a subject you don’t even like. Stuck living at home with your parents wanting to move out. Stuck single wanting a relationship. Stuck in a relationship with no growth or not knowing whether you’re in the right relationship. Sound familiar to anyone? I’m absolutely not an expert in all these topics, but these are the things I make myself remember to become okay with feeling stuck. Because I do feel like an expert in that field!

1. You are working towards doing something whether you know it or not. Give yourself some credit because despite how it may look the rest of us are feeling the same in one way or another! This is not an excuse if you know you could be doing more to get to where you want to be. It is reassurance that despite what you think, you are progressing. Even if you believe you feel stuck the mere life experience doing what you’re doing, the conversations, the memories, the time and especially the mistakes are going to contribute to finding your way. Helping gain clarity deciding what you want and just as importantly what you don’t want.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU ‘GROW UP’?

REMEMBER how excited you’d get as a child when you were asked this? The language we used as if it was undoubtedly going to happen. More often than not we would say multiple things of completely different fields and it didn’t even matter the plausibility of them all actually happening. I don’t know about you but at one stage I was going to become a crime scene investigator, ballerina, and professional singer whilst owning a dog rescue shelter.

The older we got the more our answers would change. Month to month, year to year. And this to us was fine! Because we were so young and we had so much time to figure it out when we reached that place that everyone referred to as ‘older. We had no shame that it was constantly changing or unknown. Back then when asked the words that resonated with us were ‘want’ and ‘be’. So at what point in our lives does the excitement of not knowing turn to fear and the emphasis changes to the word ‘older’.  Why is it that when we’re asked at the mere age of sixteen when doing senior subject selection does our excitement change to angst of not knowing?

REDEFINING SUCCESS

PEOPLE tend to give us advice based not only from their mistakes and experiences but from their definition of what it means to be successful. Often due to the limited opportunities they had themselves (particularly those from a different generation) they have weighted a secure job with financial gain the sole element in becoming successful.
