Ten Things I’d Tell My Younger Self
‘Dear younger me…’
As you know, I’m a sucker for reflection. No big birthday or life event has happened to encourage it this time but just a general musing, especially as time seems to be flying incredibly fast at the moment… I think this is also quite a common experience.
Would the list below that I’ve created be super helpful to my younger self so that I could’ve been aware of so much more than I was… yes. Of course this is an impossibility, but worth thinking about. Living with no regrets and knowing that things happen for a reason, learning along the way and hindsight being a great thing means being able to reflect and looking back on how far you’ve come. Of course, I wouldn’t be where I am today without the lack of knowledge of the below and the array of experiences I have had and making piece with challenging moments has felt like a relief.
Sometimes you need a bit of positivity, perspective and to see how far you’ve come. Here are ten things that I would tell my younger self…
- The love you have for yourself sets the standard for the way others will love you
- Things will always change
- You are enough
- Do what you love
- When things aren’t good, just know they will get better
- Appreciate the present without constantly yearning for the future or for time to go faster
- Trust and listen to your intuition
- Make as many memories as you can
- It’s ok to be selfish sometimes
- Try not to care so much about what other people think
If you had to or could tell your younger self something… what would it be?
