20 Ways To Make Your 20s The Best Decade Of Your Life

1. Be picky about your friends

Invest wisely and wholeheartedly in your company.

Befriend the vulnerable parts of you, the parts you thought couldn’t get over the fear of loss. Prove that space wrong.

Take your heartbreak, the one you thought would murder you, and use that emotion to fuel yourself. Find your power and use it to create a beautiful life for yourself. 

4. Go all out on Halloween

Do not let embarrassment stop you from having so much fun.

5. Watch TedTalks and feed your brain

Expand.

6. Develop positive habits

Make a morning routine for yourself. Make your nightly routine. Make it all exceptionally lovely.

Get to (or create) a space where you can stop looking at yourself and seeing all you perceive to be wrong. Be in a space where you can admire your body for the hard work it does to keep you breathing each and every day.

8. Travel as much as you can

Find a way to see new things.

9. Learn how to gracefully respond to conflict

The moment something sounds like fun but you feel too tired is the exact same moment you should absolutely do it.
