Life experience is a very valuable thing. And you know what is the most interesting? That we humans love to stuff our own heads. Good, valuable advice at a certain age is perceived by us as white noise.
They tell us in our youth - do not smoke! It is harmful and bad. But we are rebels. We're adults. And only then we understand what this rubbish is. How you don't want to supply the tobacco empire with hard-earned money, because of which you spend the day off not with your family, I'm at work after hours. Endlessly trying to quit the new year. Was it worth it?
I am not yet a wise woman. I am sure that I still have a portion of my bumps ahead, which will become so obvious in 50-60 years. But already now I have something to tell myself to a very young girl.
Save money and buy a dollar
I'll start with the financial part, this topic is always relevant. At a younger age, it seems to us that the whole life is ahead. That we will be healthy and young for many years to come, and we will always be able to earn.
I would definitely not advise myself to completely cut everything and fanatically save. Well, no, this is youth! We must both live and feel all its charms. But a small part still needs to be postponed. Get yourself into a good financial habit. Ideally, money should be invested, just no trading, a long-term portfolio and the power of compound interest - what could be better ...
And also: Katya, buy dollars! You will not regret. I believe that currency should always be bought. And the sooner you start, the more profitable it is in the long run.
Do not compare yourself to others and do not strive to be like someone else.
Low self-esteem - how many people have been able to avoid it at a certain stage in their lives? I quickly outgrew it, but I remember very well those years when I considered myself worse than others. Endless comparisons with popular girls were not in my favor. From this I became more closed in myself. Then my studies began to suffer, I wanted to seem cooler, more independent.
The best option and cure for low self-esteem is to do good work on yourself. No need to spread rot on yourself. You need to love and develop yourself. Now I would advise myself to take up dancing, tennis, go to English courses, focus on what interests me. Which brings me joy and pleasure. Instead of drowning yourself in meaningless comparisons.
My dear women, if you still suffer from low self-esteem, you simply have to work it out and let it go. Enough!
Don't put your life on hold
Oh, it always seems to us that there will be everything ahead somewhere. A little bit later. We will have time for everything. However, the cycle of life twists (and sometimes twists) so that this is not a joke to you. And life is also accelerating every year, blinked - it's summer, blinked - a new year.
I read that people see the future as more joyful and successful than it turns out. On Friday, gorging ourselves on pizza and rolls, it always seems that on Monday we can take on ourselves. And these New Year's promises to get better?
Therefore, Katya, it will not be easier to plow and work there "later" than now. Start today and stop procrastinating.
Go to the dentist
The more we are afraid of dentists, the more often we need to visit them. Paradox? No, the only rule that works. I recently treated 2 teeth at once, it is expensive, unpleasant, and if I had not brought it to this, I would have been much better. And if I had gone earlier, many problems could have been avoided altogether.
All my life I was afraid of them and pulled to the last. Nothing good! Here I am going again in spirit, and this time I will not pull (remember the previous point, and do not giggle. I will go!).
What would you say to yourself younger? What would you advise? Thank you for your attention and likes, subscribe, there will be a continuation!
