Thirty Things To Start Doing in Your Thirties
I can’t believe I will be 31 in a few months. Even though, I’m still new to the 30s, I can already feel that this will be my favorite decade. Perhaps, it’s because I finally feel like a “grown up.” I don’t feel the need to “justify” myself like I did in my 20s. People take me more seriously when they learn of my age. The main thing I’ve discovered in my 30s is that I care less about what other’s think about me. I’m still a recovering people pleaser, but I’m much more confident in myself now than I was at 25. The life phases I’ve passed through to get to almost 31, taught me to be unapologetically me.
Here’s my list of what got me to this place of thirty-year-old self-assurance:
Weekly flossing “Floss Fridays”
Clean Skincare Routine
Daily Oil Pulling for teeth whitening
Drinking my body weight in water
Reading before bed
Simple Makeup Routine
Saying “no” to opportunities or people who don’t serve me

Making my bed every morning. Make your bedroom your oasis
Working out for fun not torture, barre3
