30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30

Tomorrow I’ll be 30! The big 3-0. I can’t believe it! I’m a real ASS adult now. By 30 I thought I would have accomplished everything I projected for my life. You know…marriage, kids, and a house with a white picket fence. But none of that happened. The universe had different plans for me, and I’m okay with that. I am right where I need to be! As far as my 30’s goes I’m going to let the universe guide me, because when I just exist and be fully present the most beautiful things happen.

Along my journey to 30 I have learned a lot (there still is so much for me to learn). I wanted to share what I know to be true from my lived experience as Peach. So here they are…the 30 things I have learned before turning 30.

1. Express gratitude!
2. Self-love is important.
3. We co-construct our reality.
4. I am worthy.
5. Alone time is so amazing and much needed.
6. Self-work is the hardest challenge one will ever endure in life.
7. What’s for me is for me, what’s for you is for you!
8. Every women needs good sister-friends, the type of friends that will call you out on your shit and pull you back up.
9. Use your talents and gifts to the highest potential.
10. Meditation=mental liberation.

16. Be mindful of your mental, spiritual, and physical health.

18. Heartbreak is vicious and hurts like hell.
19. Live life, it goes by so fast.
20. Love, support, and uplift family/friends/partners that do not bring toxicity into your life.
21. Set firm-boundaries.
22. Say NO and say YES depending on the situation.
23. Continue to learn, whether from a book or every life moment you encounter.
24. Be careful of who you let into your space, your energy and light is sacred.
25. Live your truth.
26. Advocate for what you need.
27. Self-care practice is a life necessity.
28. Travel often.
29. Learning how to communicate with people in a healthy manner is key.
30. Becoming the highest evolved version of yourself comes at a price.
