11. Stop neglecting your relationships.

When life takes over, it can be hard to find the time or energy to socialize. We’re fooled into thinking we’re maintaining relationships by forwarding memes or reacting with emojis, but socializing through a screen just isn’t the same. You can alleviate some loneliness from it, but the physical presence of a person provides psychological and physiological benefits you just don’t get through a screen. Don’t let life get in the way – keep those physical connections alive as you get older.

12. Stop resenting the aging process.

People fight and struggle to maintain their youth. Others limit themselves based on their age. Ok, you’re probably not going to climb Mount Everest at age 60 (unless you’re well-conditioned and athletic) but limiting yourself when it comes to self-improvement isn’t sensible. You’re probably in a better position to succeed at certain things now because you have more life experience. You won’t be able to do everything the younger you could, but there will be different opportunities open to you. There’s no shame in getting older. Many people are denied that privilege. So why not enjoy it.
