12 Changes to make in your 30s that will set you up for lifelong success

Spend your 30s following your dreams and finding what your values are so that you can set yourself up for success later in life.

It’ll depend a lot on how you spend the next decade or so will you start saving or rack up credit-card debt? Wallow in self pity or learn to be happy with what you have?

1.Stop smoking

If you’ve started smoking or you are already smoking, stop immediately.

While you can’t undo the damage you may have already incurred from smoking, research suggests that those who quit before age 40 have a 90% lower mortality risk than those who continue.

2.Start going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day.

It might be tempting to use the weekends to recoup your sleep debt, but it’s recommended you hit the hay and wake up around the same time every single day.

If you oversleep for even a few days, experts say you risk resetting your body clock to a different cycle, so you’ll start getting tired later in the day. Avoid a lifetime of sleep issues by sticking to bedtime and wake-up routines whenever you can.

3.Start exercising regularly.

Try to move yourself as much as possible,It doesn’t matter if it’s walking, cycling, running, weightlifting, hiking, swimming ,as long as it involves some movement.

In your 30s, you start losing muscle mass, so it’s especially important to exercise at this time. But remember to choose physical activities you really love, since you’re less likely to continue exercising if you dislike your workouts.

4.Start saving money.

“Building the habit of saving early means you’ll continue it further down the line.

It might seem like your golden years are a lifetime away, but the earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to accrue interest.

5.Start pursuing a life dream.

Don’t delay pursuing your life goals.Want to buy a house? Have kids? Write a book? Learn a handwork? Pick one of those life goals and get started. What can you do between now and the end of the year to embark on one of them?

6.Start learning to be happy with what you have.

Everyone asks how you got married. Nobody asks how you stayed married.

If you are content with what you have, you will have a happier life.

That’s especially true in the relationships domain. And psychologists have found that couples who express gratitude toward each other are more likely to stay together.

7.Stop thinking you need to satisfy everyone.

“After I reached 30, I stopped feeling the need to please everyone. You can choose your friends and contacts more carefully particular, know that you are not obligated to be nice to people who were unfriendly toward you.

Whether you decide to whittle down your Facebook friends to a mere 500 or simply hang out more with the people who make you happy, it’s important to invest your time and energy wisely.

8.Stop comparing yourself to others.

If you are unable to do some things in life compared to your siblings and friends, then please be at peace with yourself .I will advice you not to be harsh on yourself.

Science suggests that comparing yourself to other people which isn’t so hard to do when your Facebook feed is filled with photos of vacations and engagements can be unproductive. That’s largely because people can seem a lot happier and less troubled than they really are.

9.Start forgiving yourself for your mistakes.

Forgive yourself your mistakes. We all make plenty of them. Don’t dwell on the errors of the past learn from them, let them go, and move ahead.

Self-compassion is a key component of success. If you’re kind to yourself when you fail, you have a chance at learning from your mistakes and doing better next time.

She recommends a simple strategy for exercising self-compassion: Treat yourself as you would treat a colleague or friend who has failed.

10.Start defining your values.

Don’t let other people define happiness and success for you.

The number one priority at this stage is getting clarity on what your priorities actually are.A great way to do this is to define your personal values, getting to a list of your top three is ideal.

11.Start reading for an hour a day.

I recommends reading for an hour every day. At the end of the year, you’ll have spent a total of 15 days with your nose in a book.

12.Stop judging other people.

Stop criticizing and judging people. You probably wouldn’t feel so great if you were under someone else’s microscope.

Each of us has our own flaws. Be kind and humble,respect everyone’s decision in life.
