Bidding bye to turning twisting twenty
Last month I entered into my thirty's. A horrifying no for women when concerned with their age. No more I will be enjoying the pride of sweet 20. Hmm. Sad 😢 but prepared.
Today I somehow managed to stole time from my very busy job (being a mother) with no leaves at all to wander in my past 10 years. I thought before bidding bye to my terrific twenty I should spend some time with it for the sake of showing gratitude for the things I have gained in it. Because it's worth it.
I was in my B. Com second year 10 years back. My professional course, first crush, first job, marriage, child everything happened in this twenty's.
I believe everyone's life changes the most in this decade. The first 10 years are spent in the laps of parents enjoying and doing things without understanding. The real change takes place in this 10 years where we become adults, goes for voting for the first time, enjoy college life, gets our first job, fall in love several times (most of the time we don't know and most of the time we don't confess), then find someone for life time. The age between 20-30 is the time when most of the things happen in our life.
I learned to live without quite a few people whom I considered the most important in my life and made some people unknown a part of my life for a lifetime.
Hope I will be writing this after 10 years as well when I will be entering in my 40.
But damn sure my life will not see so many changes in this decade as it has experienced in 20-30s.
The last decade for all of us has been full of life turning changes so here are some tips to make the coming decade a bit relax and tranquil.
Hoping to prepare for Tranquil thirty
1. Start saving for retirement: If you have spend recklessly in your twenties without any worries for future it’s high time that you spend some time in understanding boring subjects like insurance, investments and saving. It will pay you.
2. Be health conscious: If you have been eating as per your likes and dislikes till now stop and rethink. Accept or don’t you are heading towards aging. So be careful what you eat. Start eating healthy and fresh. Our metabolism doesn’t work the way it used to and that’s the one reason we gain weight at this age inspite of having the same diet. You may be eating as usual but your body has changed. So change your self.
3. Invest in family, it’s worth it: If you have been staying away or spending little time with family for the sake of getting a well settled life, a good career, I hope you would have achieved most of it. So now plan holidays with family. Spending time with loved ones is important at any stage of life but still it the start of tranquil thirty so peace, calm comes form home first.
4. Plan for your kids: If you are married and still enjoying being free from the worries of parenthood then plan for kids because it the most correct time. Simple logic if you plan a child at the age of 30 so when he will be 20 you will be 50 not that old but if you plan it late your child will find you very old when he will be adult. After all you have to stay young for your young ones. And i hope i need not to mention anything for those who have not found their better half till now.
5. Stay happy: Last but not the least staying happy is a panacea which will help you in every phase and every age. Start practicing it today. Whenever you find yourself low, sad, things not going the way you want remind yourself that life will take its own turn but you need to stay happy at all times.
Hope you guys like it. Please share the most beautiful change of your twenties.
Very well written Keep going Preeti!!!
