Dramatic Life Changes
If at 20 years a person looks primarily at life prospects, and is not particularly in a hurry to bind himself with obligations, then by 30 the situation changes a little. For example, some women at this age are ready to marry anyone, just to get rid of the pressure of society. The endless questions of parents, friends and colleagues about marriage, wedding invitations and "grandchildren" are pissing. As a result, the young woman bends, and connects her life with anyone.What, of course, she will regret bitterly after a short time.
A sensible approach looks a little different: "I love this person (I like this work, I am crazy about this city), and therefore I will connect life with him."The one or the one who thinks like this at the age of 30: “Time goes on, but I still have not married (I have not given birth to children, I have not built a dizzying career,” - runs the risk of making serious mistakes.
Aimless (and frankly harmful) pastime
At the age of 20, it was relatively simple to get better and lose weight. By the age of 30, the metabolism is gradually slowing. If ten years ago it was easy to get rid of sagging sides, then at 30 you will have to make much more effort. And health at this age can give the first glitches. Today's wrong diet tomorrow can lead to overweight and the occurrence of diseases.
But not only this is fraught with weekends and evenings, which the thirty-year-old spends in the company of television and greasy pizza. Irreversible temporary losses will lead to the fact that in 40 years a lot of opportunities will be missed. Compensating them will be extremely difficult. Unread books, an unlearned foreign language, and an unsuccessful promotion - at 40, you will have to bite your elbows due to the fact that at 30 there was no willpower to deny yourself laziness.
This also includes those cases when a person spends hours and even days on social networks. According to one study, about 27% of young people under the age of 25 spend 5 hours on social networks every day. Gradually, the brain of a person who spends a lot of time in social networks is weaned from a qualitative perception of information. Summarizing, we can say: for this dependence you have to pay not only for your lost time, but also for the deterioration of mental abilities.
Fear of new beginnings
30 years is the age when you need to tell yourself: "If not now, then when?". In order not to meet fortieth anniversary as a loser, at the age of thirty it is important to learn to leave the comfort zone. If this is not done, in the future you will have to be content with the most mediocre results.
Therefore thirty years old is extremely important experiment, try new things, discarding any fears. Of course, one should not forget about an objective assessment of reality. But time is running extremely fast. And if today you don’t try yourself in a new profession, or if you postpone moving to a new place of residence in the long box - tomorrow it may be too late to change anything.
Funny tattoo made under the influence of a momentary impulse
Tattoos are a real art. And before you apply images to your body, you should thoroughly reflect on its necessity. Do you really want to see this meme on your forearm in 10 years? Or, for example, the name of the current lover? What if you have to break up?
Of course, it will always be possible to add the word "fool" to the name "Vanya". But will it be that inscription that would correspond to your attitude in both 40 and 50?
Lack of a financial “airbag”
Are you still young and full of energy? Feel better than 20 years old? Do you have a steady income, and the future is presented in rainbow colors? Well, you can only envy. But in this regard, excessive optimism can become more than dangerous.
Health tends to collapse; husbands and wives - go to younger partners, or throw up other “pleasant” surprises; and a steady income at the most inopportune moment can become unstable.
In order not to bite your elbows at the age of 40 or later, you should take care of your financial well-being now - even if now nothing portends trouble.
The desire to rejuvenate in every way
Women who, at 30, are doing everything to look like they are at 16, make a dangerous mistake. After all, it is impossible to return exactly the same appearance that was in the past. Countless beauty treatments only result in appearance is increasingly losing its naturalness, becoming like a puppet.
Of course, no one forbids taking care of yourself and following the principles of a healthy diet. But if you try to obliterate the trail of each past year - at 40, this will inevitably affect the appearance is far from the best.
Attempts to remain an “eternal teenager”
People who, even at the age of 30, take no responsibility, oppose themselves to society in everything, rejecting generally accepted values, and subsequently pay dearly for their infantilism.
Still a teenager until the end of days still does not work. And the difficulties of real life can await at the most unexpected moment. Therefore, the faster a thirty-year-old man gets rid of infantilism, the shorter his path to happiness becomes.
Hate work
The trouble of the twenties is that they have to spend precious youth working for wear and tear for the sake of making money. But by the age of 30, a person should decide on the sphere work in which will bring him spiritual satisfaction.
If this does not happen, and you continue to lose time on your unloved job, in 40 years you will have to seriously regret a lot. After all, no one will compensate for the lost time. And to change a career over the years for objective reasons, it is becoming increasingly difficult.
Spending money not on impressions, but on purchases
It seems to people that things can make them happy. They leave most of the money earned on the latest iPhone models and brand new foreign cars.
At thirty, the passage of time is felt more clearly than ever. And at this age you should understand: the only thing that can be carried through the years is not the things of the perishable world, but experience, memories and impressions with which a person was enriched throughout his life's journey.
Unnecessary worries
When a person worries about everything, the lion's share of his energy goes not to achieve his goals, but to his anxiety. This leads to an unnecessary loss of internal resources, emotional burnout.
If you allow yourself such luxury at the age of 30, this will lead to the fact that you will have to meet the fortieth anniversary of a slightly sloppy break. After all, if every day the energy goes to unnecessary worries, where to get the strength for life and creativity?
It is difficult to say which of the listed errors is the most fatal. Perhaps, in order to protect yourself from unpleasant consequences, you should refrain from all these mistakes today. Then the fortieth anniversary can be met with a proudly raised head and without regrets about “aimlessly lived years”.
