We all learn our lessons throughout our lives. But the truth is, each lesson changes us a little bit. We learn to be wiser, calmer, more independent, more loving and so much more. Each time we learn something and acquire new skills.
Some people get most of their lessons while they are young, it's just the way life goes. They learn valuable skills early. For others, those lessons may come too late. But they always come.
Today I will tell you about the 30 skills it's time to master, especially if you're in your gorgeous 30s.
๐บ The skill of letting go. Life's too short to get on your nerves over trivia. Learn to overlook unpleasant situations, people, circumstances...
๐บ The ability to forgive. Harboring anger and resentment harms you the most. Learn to forgive - the deserving and the undeserving and especially yourself.
๐บ The ability to love. You have fought many battles and rebellions, and you are sure to fight many more. But don't put all your strength into it. Learn to love and start with yourself.
๐บ The ability to take care of yourself. Most women love to be pampered and cared for. It's always good to enjoy these moments. But only after you've learned how to take care of yourself.
๐บ The ability to rest. This is among the most important skills that everyone should master. The only way to fight stress is to master the art of rest. Learn to detach and recharge.
๐บ The ability to manage your finances. It's hard and it's not about amassing a fortune. But once you pass 30, it's imperative that you've mastered this skill. Learn to manage your finances so that you don't fall into crises and holes.
๐บ The ability to make good judgment. 30 is a great time to put your naivety, arrogance and ego aside and start judging people, situations and even yourself better and more objectively.
๐บ The ability to control your emotions. The teenage years are tough in this regard. In your 20s, it's not much easier. But your 30s are the right time to learn to control your emotions and not go to extremes.
๐บ The ability to rely on yourself. The truth is that most people leave your life sooner or later. There are those who stay until the end, but they are rare. That's why it is extremely important to be able to rely on yourself.
๐บ The ability to prioritize. After 30 it seems like the picture becomes clearer. It's easier to know what we want, what we need and what we choose. Prioritize every day, you don't owe anyone an explanation as to why something is more important to you than another. Always choose your priority.
๐บ The ability to go with the flow. If you haven't acquired this skill by now, it's about time. It's not about dropping everything and living at the mercy of fate. But at least sometimes allow yourself not to plan, not to control, not to keep everything a certain way down to the last detail. Allow life to surprise you.
๐บ The ability to accept that not everything is at all costs. There are things that are worth paying dearly for and others that just don't make sense. Accept that not everything comes at a price and learn to choose only what is truly worth it.
๐บ The ability to have fun. Life is in front of you and it is extremely important to truly enjoy the good moments. Learn to have real fun - to laugh your heart out, to dance in the rain, to do the things that make you happy.
๐บ The skill of not giving up. Every goal that is important to you has a way of being achieved. Don't give up on your goals, your dreams, yourself, your principles, and the people you care about.
๐บ The ability to give up. No, this is not a mistake. Besides not giving up, you have to learn to give up. Carefully compartmentalize situations. There are things and people worth fighting for, but there are also things that are best just given up.
๐บ The ability not to despair in difficult situations. Learn to control yourself, to stay cool, to be like a rock. That's the only way you'll be able to handle any unexpected winds or even storms that come your way.
๐บ The ability to assert yourself. When you have clear principles, priorities and know what builds and defines you, then you have something to stand for. Never give up on yourself.
๐บ The ability to respect. This is an extremely important skill. Learn to respect yourself, your parents, your children, your friends. Respect the older, the poorer, the stupider even. Do not stop there. Respect everyone you meet and you will attract respect yourself.
๐บ The ability to follow rules. The periods of rebellion and denial should have passed by now. 30 is the optimal age to learn that rules must be followed. It is the only way we can all live in an orderly and peaceful world.
๐บ The ability to communicate. If this is your weak point, then it's a good time to work on your communication until you start to see improvement. Start by being open and gracious in your communication. You will certainly like yourself more.
๐บ The ability to let go of the unnecessary. It is a valuable skill not to get attached to things, places and even some people. Learn to part with the unnecessary. Don't collect shabby clothes, unnecessary possessions and worn out relationships.
๐บ Know how to fight your battles. When you were little, someone else fought your battles. Now it's time to fight them alone. Don't rely on your co-worker to raise the issue of pay raises or the neighbor to call the plumber. Fight your own battles.
๐บ Know how to work hard. Learn to give your best in the things you take on. Fulfill your commitments and don't be afraid of work. Try to do it with pleasure and you will be happy.

๐บ The ability to know what you want. Most women never master this skill in their whole life ๐ But still, try to get clear on what you want, what you dream of, what your goals are, what your strengths and weaknesses are. And then it's easy - just strive for what you want.
๐บ The ability to be independent. In every aspect. Learn not to depend on anyone or anything and you will feel truly free.
๐บ The ability to value your time. Many of us put this skill off for too long. And it is important. Learn to value your time and spend it in a pleasant way with pleasant people.
๐บ The skill of taking care of your body and mind. Your 30s are a good time to start cutting back on junk food, junk drinks, bad habits and even bad people. Try making an idea healthier choices for yourself.
