23 things I've learned at 23

Scorpio season is upon us which can only mean one thing, and no I do not mean Halloween (as much as I love this time of year). It means it's nearly my birthday! For anyone who knows me will know that this means a full "birth week" of celebrations will be involved. 

I can't believe it's my nearly my birthday again already and I've been doing a lot of reflecting in my journal lately. Reading over everything I've gone through the last few years, the good and the bad, gave me an idea to put together this post. So with my 24th birthday being just over a week away, I've put together a list of 23 things I've learned in the last 23 years. I'm far from being a life coach but I hope at least some of this helps.

1. Mindset is everything. A lack mindset will never get you what you want in life.

2. A clean space = a clean mind.

3. Confidence is key.

4. Quality of friendships over quantity, always.

5. Heartbreak won't kill you, even when it feels like it might.

6. You don't need to feel or be happy all the time. Acknowledge the negative emotions that come your way. Feel it but don't let it consume you. 

7. Journaling and meditating do work. Give it a try.

8. If you ever want to change, make sure it's for yourself and not someone else.

9. It's ok to say no sometimes.

10. Friends come and go, and no, it doesn't always mean there's been a fallout.

11. People only show the best parts of their life on social media.

12. Start calling mistakes lessons instead. Recognise there is always something to be learned from them.

13. Hurt people, hurt people. How people treat you is a reflection of them, not of you.

14. Taylor Swift is the goat. I will debate this with anyone over and over again.

15. Not everyone is going to like you and that's ok.

16. It's never really as bad as you think.

17. Making really niche spotify playlists is always fun.

18. Someone else's success doesn't take away from your own.

19. Practice gratitude. Even if it's just writing down 3 things you're grateful for at the end of every day.

20. Take more photos.

21. Travel as much as you can.

22. Do whatever you want, even if you're worried people will talk about you. People are always going to talk, so you may as well give them something to talk about.

23. Treat yourself like you treat your best friend.
