How To Slay Your 20s

Okay let’s be real… your 20s is a weird time. You’re still learning how to do things like pay your taxes or cook anything other than craft mac and cheese but all of a sudden you’re expected to get a job, pay your bills, buy a house, and have your life together. So here’s a few tips to help you start living your best life and slay your 20s, right now! 

Travel as Much as Possible

You’re only young once and your 20s is the time to be selfish so go out and experience the world. I promise, it will change you for the better!

Stop Comparing 

Stop measuring your own success by what you see on social media, nobody is posting their failures!

Try New Things & Get Out of Your Comfort Zone 

Nothing good, fun, or exciting ever happens in your comfort zone. Now is the time to get out there and experience something new whether its moving away from home, traveling to a new country, or just trying a new food!

Get a Savings Account (and use it)

Start putting money aside ASAP! You’ll thank me later! Even if its just a couple dollars a month, this will add up and you never know when that extra money will come in handy! 

Face Your Fears

Don’t let fear stop you from living your life. Stop being so afraid of failure, judgement, rejection, etc. and just live your life! 

Stop Worrying About What Other People Think

We all need to stop caring so much about other peoples opinions of us. I mean really, WHO CARES? In the wise words of miss Rachel Hollis “other peoples opinion of you is none of your business”

Stop Settling

Don’t settle on anything, EVER! Life is too short to be less than ecstatic about your choices. You deserve a career you’re passionate about, a lifestyle you’re obsessed with, and a relationship where you know it’s “the one”. Don’t settle for things that are just okay, simply because you’re afraid to start over. You deserve so much more!

Invest in Yourself

Invest in your physical and mental health, and your own well being. Love your body, treat it well. Start a self care routine (learn how here) and do things to better yourself.

Be With the Right Partner

Don’t waste time on someone who isn’t right for you. Find someone who is not only your partner but also your best friend! If they don’t wholeheartedly support your dreams, respect your wishes, and bring out the best in you, then it might be time to move on. 

Stop Being a People Pleaser

I can’t say this enough: you’ll NEVER please everyone so why do we all keep trying? Trying to please everyone will only lead to you feeling burnt out and exhausted. Being someone who put’s others first is great, BUT theres a point where you have to start thinking about what YOU want. This is YOUR life, so start living it for YOU! 

Build Good Credit

Don’t go crazy with the credit cards girl! Credit cards are a great way to help build your credit but, only if you use them correctly! First, you need to pay them off ON TIME, because there’s nothing worse than paying off interest all your life.  And second, just because you have a limit DOESN’T mean you’re supposed to actually reach that number (shocking i know)! 

Focus on Finding Your Passion

This is YOUR time to shine! It’s time for you to dig a little deeper and figure out what really makes you happy! Don’t just settle for a job or career because it seems like the right move or because it’ll pay the bills . Your twenties are your time to experiment and try different things before you have a family and a mortgage! Take this time to find something you’re passionate about!

Give Yourself a Break

It’s okay to not have your life all together. Here’s a little secret for you, nobody ever really does!
