Read and keep asking yourself these questions frequently to create a better YOU
1. Am I Living Up To
My Full Potential? As a
20-something it’s easy to reach certain milestones in life, and slowly
begin to plateau. The personal growth incurred by challenging your
capabilities, can help you reach the best version of yourself that you have
ever experienced. 2. Do I Compare Myself
To Others Too Often?
It’s
easy to get caught up in what your peers are accomplishing while living in
their twenties. Comparing yourself to someone that isn’t you, may only bring
discouragement. You may feel as if you are falling behind, when in fact you are
the leader of your own life journey.
3. Do I Live In The
Present?
As a
20-something you begin to explore who you really are. In order to define your
present, you need to keep the past behind you and the future in the horizon.
Try living in the moments before they pass. Your past is the foundation to the
present, and the present will shape the future.
4. What Are My Life
Goals?
Building
life goals strengthens the purpose to life. While living in the present is
essential to happiness, having a bucket list can give you something to look
forward. Achieving goals does not happen over night, so taking small steps that
can be applied to your everyday life, can help build towards your future
accomplishments.
5. What Triggers My
Stress?
It’s
important to understand your stress triggers, so you can recognize them when
they are present in your life. Once you can recognize your triggers, managing
how you react to stress becomes a lot easier, and you can deal with stress on a
mature and manageable level.
6. Do I Recognize My
Weaknesses?
It can
be easy at times to point out the faults and weakness of others, but have you
ever analyzed your own weaknesses? Recognizing your weaknesses may open many
doors for self-improvement and personal growth.
7. Do I Recognize My
Growth Throughout The Years?
Life
sure feels like a scramble as a 20-something, but stopping to absorb all of the
incredible things that you have accomplished so far can really encourage and
motivate you to aim higher with everything else that you do.
8. Do My Friends
Reflect Who I Really Am?
As a
20-something you might hang on to friends from high school, from college, from
university, from past work facilities, and so on. Not to say you should say
good-bye to all past friendships and only focus on the new, but you should make
sure that you are surrounding yourself with people who also reflect who you are
and who you want to be.
9. Do I Make My
Decisions Based On The Needs Of Others?
Whether
it’s the need for acceptance or recognition, sometimes it’s easy to get caught
up in what others want from you, for you. Making decisions based on the needs
of others is a short-term fix to keep the people around you content so you can
bypass endless questions. However, it’s you who ultimately has to live with
your decisions.
10. Am I Spending
Money On The Wrong Things?
Saving
money can feel impossible once all monthly living expenses are covered. Making
a practical budget and breaking down what you actually need and use can really
help you see what you have been disposing your money on. Try looking at your
wants verses your needs. You may want 2GB of data for your fancy new smart
phone, but why not cut the cost of your data plan if you’re actually only using
500MB each month? Do this practice for your cable bill, your grocery list, or
even your personal products.
11. Am I Ready To
Begin Investing In My Future?
Knowing
the lifestyle you want to live can determine how you should invest in your
future. A part of investing in your future is deciding a career path. The rest
of it is buying property and planning for retirement, which in your twenties
may seem obscure.
12. Do I Feel Like An
Equal Contributor In My Workplace?
As a
20-something it’s easy to get looked at as the “rookie” in any job position. If
you are putting in hard, honest work ethic and not receiving credit for the
work you are doing, it can feel daunting. If you find yourself in a workplace
where you are not seen as an equal maybe it’s time to find your voice and speak
up.
13. What Do I Need
From A Romantic Relationship?
You
might have experienced a romantic relationship at some point during your
twenties, and it may not have worked out, that’s okay. With each relationship
had, you are constantly learning about yourself, as well as others, and what
you need out of a life partner. Try taking all of your past relationships and
picking out the qualities that you appreciated most, and all of the qualities
that held no room for compromise. This will show you the characteristics that
are most attractive and important to you.
14. Am I Too Dependent
On My Parents?
Sometimes
being a 20-something is doing things on your own without parental guidance. As
a child, parents were usually there to help you as best as they could in all
aspects. As an adult, your parents may be there to mentally support you, but
they are no longer held responsible to pay your bills, drive you around, or
book your appointments.
15. Do I Love
Myself?
Self-love
can be hard to wrap your head around when you’re a 20-something, but when you
find it, you have a whole new appreciation for yourself. Self-love is about
being understanding towards your own needs, as well as having the courage to
stand up for yourself even when you’re standing alone. Self-love is knowing how
to forgive yourself, and having the ability to live life worry-free from the
thoughts others may have of you.
16. Am I Happy?
A
question that trumps all; knowing your weaknesses, knowing your strengths, and
ultimately understanding yourself as best as possible, will help you find your
happiness.
