Advice we’d give our younger selves

If you had the chance to give your younger self some advice you’ve picked up over the years, what would it be?

Here’s the top tips from Fox News:

  • Be more confident
  • Try not to care what other people think
  • Don’t let opportunities pass you by…seize the day
  • Look after your physical health now before you need to
  • Don’t waste time on negative people…they’re not worth it
  • Learn from your mistakes so you won’t repeat them
  • Save 10% of your paycheck…and the sooner, the better
  • Get in the habit of eating healthy
  • Go on all the vacations you can
  • Don’t settle…that applies to work, relationships and everything else in life
  • Relax and enjoy the ride
  • Look after your mental health
  • Spend more time with your parents while you still can
  • Celebrate the little wins in life not just the big ones
  • Take more risks
  • When it comes to dating, don’t be afraid of rejection and be yourself
  • Always be there for your friends
  • Be disciplined with your time…don’t waste it
