I was on the verge of breaking into a yoga pose when I came up with this topic. This topic isn’t an Ahhaa moment, but an important thing to talk about. Now here’s a fun fact: I’ll cut to the chase and get straight to the 5 points
- Your anxiety will only get worse. So enjoy the moment and take steps to attend to the triggers and/or moments.
- Don’t play it safe, stock up on experiences. Each experience, good or bad, matures us and broadens knowledge (even if it’s by just a little bit!).
- Mistakes make you wiser. Makes mistakes! Learn from them and pick back up. Being scared of making mistakes will only gear us towards a future of what ifs and oh nos. Too much ‘safe’ doesn’t do any good.
- Don’t torture your body, it’ll torture you back in 10 years time. Ahh hits close to home. My love-hate relationship with my body was a big part of my teenage years. I never trusted my body, and forced it to do things it naturally didn’t want to. Well tables do turn!
- Love your parents, siblings and/or relationships given to you. To rephrase, pure love and friendship are almost always timeless.
Happy reading! If you’re 18 and younger, I envy you. If you’re over 25 like me — we did good!
