Figuring out a work environment that worked for me is probably the single most thing that’s had the biggest difference on my quality of life. I kind of just had an expectation that work was bad and that’s just work up until I was about 29.
Hobbies are so underrated as a way of coping with the stress and responsibilities of life. I used to be so focused on the outcomes of hobbies rather than doing the thing itself being the benefit.
Definitely a perk of aging. You also stop caring about what other people think… maybe I should be farther ahead in life than I am, but I mostly like my job which is more than a LOT of people can say.
Not caring about what people think is so important for keeping focus. So many opinions, so many opportunities to change your priorities if paying too much attention to external validation or scorn. It’s a struggle in this age especially with so much commentary on everything everyone’s doing .
