Six Things I've Learned In My 30s

Yay! I’m thirty-seven and here are six things I’ve learned in my 30s.

First, I thank God for all my blessings and allowing me to be celebrating my thirty-seventh birthday today. I’ve learned and grown so much.

I also would like to take this time to thank everyone who has visited this blog or my social media. I love and appreciate your kindness and love.

On that note, here are six things I’ve learned in my 30s.

Self Love and Respect: I believe self love is vitally important to actually knowing who you are. Self love and respect can be mastered at any age based on maturity. However, maturity sinks in at different times in our lives. Mine came in when I was in my early thirties. Once you’ve love, respect and accept yourself as you are, then no one else has the power to tear you down.
Show Gratitude: Sometimes in life we tend to stick to only the people we know or get caught up in the fast pace of life. But psychologically its best to stop, breathe, smile, say thank you and give without expecting anything in return. Lately, I’ve been finding great satisfaction in volunteering my time to charities. I have a soft spot for children with disabilities and illnesses.
Talk Less and Listen More: Blah blah blah! Have you ever found yourself just talking way too much and you yourself don’t know what you were talking about? Well it’s time to talk less and listen more. Although, I was raised as an only child, I didn’t talk much. However, during the Summers my cousins would come over and boy did I talk a lot. At one point I was given the nickname “Ms. Know It All”. Now being in my late thirties, I’ve mastered talking less and listening more. Sometimes one can learn and know so much by just listening.
Do More of What Makes You Happy: We’ve all heard the saying “life is short” or “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”. I believe this is true and there’s a lot of power behind it. Being genuinely happy is important in your everyday life. Your happiness is tied in with your psychological well being and health. In my mid thirties, I appreciated the importance of being happy. Leaving a job that no longer served me and diving into my passion was the best thing I’ve ever done. Even if its a small reward you’ve earned or working on that passion that fuels your soul. Pat yourself on the back and BE HAPPY.
Be Yourself: In a world of over two billion people who are different in so many ways, it’s okay to be yourself. In my teens and twenties, I struggled a lot to be loved and wanted by others. After life lessons and dramatic changes, in my thirties I actually love being myself. The goofy, the serious and nerdy side of me, I embrace it all because I know that’s what makes me unique. Without any validations or likes from anyone, I’ve learned to stand in the crowd and just be Faby.
Solitude and Meditation: Some may think being in solitude or meditating are boring but who cares what others thing. In my mid thirties, I’ve cherish being alone, quiet, calm and at peace. I believe being in solitude helps you to better know yourself without any outside influences from your peers. Meditation has helped me to be more focus and aware of my thoughts. Plus, it helps with stress.

Overall, I’ve learned and grown so much as an individual. I thank God everyday for helping me navigate through life with lessons. Therefore, Yay! For thirty-seven and I can’t wait for my forties.
