Piece of advice

I recently came across this wonderful post by The Angry Therapist, and I thought is a must read for everyone out there.

What’s the one piece of advice you wish you’d been given in your mid-twenties?

• Don’t worry about where or who you’re going to be in five years. Like high school, you’re going to look back and wish you had done so many things differently.
• Know that and do them differently now.
• Focus on what’s in front on you.
• Work on the relationship you have with yourself first.
• Slow down.
• Enjoy today.
• It’s okay to not know.
• Eat alone in restaurants.
• Stop trying to prove something.
• Seek growth instead of validation.
• Shatter your veneer.
• Be heard.
• Draw boundaries.
• Pull from your Solid Self as much as you can.
• Sweat.
• Process (get therapy).
• Travel.
• Don’t compartmentalize people.
• Love fearlessly, even though you’ve been crushed before.
• Practice gratitude.
• Eat clean.
• Toss your scale.
• Pull yourself out of the victim position.
• Exercise your forgiveness muscle (you will need this).
• Don’t be concerned with what others think of you.
• Step out of line and jump into life, yours.
• Accept your story.
• Don’t chase paper.
• Seek truth.
• Be patient.
