Now age is just a number, but as someone who connects with someone so deeply with numbers it just wouldn’t be right to not do something for the big 3 0 in September 2024!
My life has truly changed in the last 2 years, and I have done so many things that my younger self would have never thought would be possible! If you had asked me to take a weekend off work at 25, I would have almost put myself into a full panic attack at the thought that others may have to work short staffed, and the place would close. Thoughts that were completely irrational and fueled by my want to “be successful” and “go places in life”. So here is a little secret, successful people need breaks to refresh and grow.
So, as I was lying in bed still feeling a little tipsy at 3am on January 1st, 2024, I thought “This is officially the year I turn 30”. I’ve bought my first home at 25, I already drive an amazing car and I am in the most supportive job of my life so far. But yet, I’m not married, let alone even anywhere close to any sort of longer-term relationship. I also don’t have my own family, nor am I ready to yet. So, have I hit the standard expectation that I hear so many people STILL talk about? The true answer is I don’t care, and I have my own standards! The most important standard to me is to now really live life to the fullest! To create fun and freedom in every active choice that I make!
My word of 2024 is EXHILARATING! A word that is breathtaking, charges, electric, exciting and galvanizing! So, as I spend the first week of 2024 racking my brain on what I can do to live the last 9 months of my 20s to the fullest I had the little idea of my own “30 before 30”
Now, every single number on this list is achievable and realistic. There may be numbers that I don’t achieve and a part of being a perfectionist Virgo is knowing that this is ok to (but I am also a Manifesting Generator and I’ll have 5 or more on the go at once).
So, I invite you to follow along and even join in my little challenge! Here is the official 30 before 30 blog!
