What advice would you give yourself at 33

I'm 33 (34 this month).

Assuming you're at least 10 years older and wiser... and hopefully calmer than me... looking back what advice would you give yourself when you were my age?

Enjoy being young and energetic. Look with optimism for the future. If you want to do something, make plans to do it, rather than putting your plans off - short or long term plans. Spend time with family and friends

Is 33 young?!

Do you have little kids/a baby/are pregnant? If any of the above, you won't even notice the next ten years fly by, OP.

Nope and I don't want them (ever) x

Stop this insane diet merry go round. You WILL be fine on your own. You ARE actually very beautiful. Be kinder to yourself. Push yourself forward, don't wait for 'an opportunity' to come your way. Make it happen.

Look after your skin and don't lie out in the sun without high spf

Look after your teeth and health generally

Don't sweat the small stuff or even get too stressed over the big stuff-it never helps

Have empathy

Travel as much as you can and read as much as you can

I still feel like your age but only in my mind Confused

On reflection, yes 33 is young! I had some of the best times of my life in my early 30s!
I'm now 43 and I had a great time at 33...
I got together with my now husband at 34 - I wish I were 33 again sometimes...

I'm also 33 turning 34 this month. Happy birthday to us Grin (So no advice here, I'm just piggybacking on your advice from others)

I had my daughter at 33 so my situation was different.

I like being in my 40s in some respects because you stop caring about what people think.

I don't like my aching joints, failing eyesight and hearing, wrinkles, flab and dodgy spine. If I could go back, I'd have been kinder to my body. I didn't realise how young 33 was
