Feel free to share any life experiences or anecdotes.
Find a skill based hobby that you love and practice it every week. Stuff like a sport, musical instrument, art, etc. The hobby itself will be rewarding but there is no substitute for having decades of experience under your belt for these kind of activities.
Also, don’t have children.
Young guys, invest in a good bed. Back pain sucks when you get older, so taking care of your spine early is important. Women are also much more likely to sleep with a guy that has a comfortable and inviting bed.
You’re in your bed for around a third of your life. You deserve a good one :)
There’s so much more to spinal health than just the right bed though. If you want a healthy spine you want to be doing tai chi and dancing and learning proper lifting form and taking collagen supplements, doing compression, staying hydrated, etc etc
taking collagen supplements
Yeah, no. You don’t really absorb collagen/gelatine in your intestinal tract
Creatine instead of collagen, if you ask me. Creatine helps build muscle. Muscles keep everything in place (which is especially important in case of hypermobility) and they relieve work from other parts.
Save your money, invest what money you can, and keep in as good a shape as you can.
Understand how sun cream factors work and always wear it.
Get one good cooking knife and learn how to hone and sharpen it. You have to sharpen it often and almost immediately. Learn how to cut vegetables. Start with onions because they are cheap and versatile.
Keep a freewriting journal.
If you’re a guy take a moment to look into what women go through in their lives with guys. It’s not complicated or mysterious, it’s just that a significant portion of guys never heard about it. It’ll automatically make you a better man and you’ll have a better time too :)
Invest in yourself. Be good to the people around you. Set up your finances well early so you don’t have to rush later.
Don’t be afraid to try odd jobs or go for opportunities that you normally wouldn’t. New opportunities and interests can open up from getting out of your comfort zone.
learn as much as you can, don’t worry too much about what it is you learn
you’ll find what you’re good at or fascinated by
Find a topic that you have interest in and master it. This will only get harder as you get older.
Have a clear set of long-term goals for yourself, ie career, where you want to live, and what you want to be. Set deadlines for each with steps on how to do it.
It’s time to start building the rest of your life. It won’t be easy but you’ll be doing it for you, so make it worthwhile.
Learn a trade
Start exercising regularly and eating correctly now.
Think where you would like to be when you’re thirty, then work backward to now and figure out what you need to do to get there.
Also, don’t be afraid to take chances.
More like think where you would like to be immediately, acknowledge that you won’t get it until you’re 30, then make this plan and go for it.
When I was in my 20s I considered 30 to be the end of my life. Trying to reason about where I wanted to be in my 30s just returned null.
Get accostumed to eat your veggies, once you hit you 30s your intestine starts revolting if you don’t give it healthy food
Invest. Now. Use a service like Acorns if you need to. The more you start saving now, the more you’ll have when you’re old and can’t work anymore.
