    MAKE SURE YOU PRAY ❤️ In your 20s especially you need God more than ever because that’s the age when you are distracted the most with other things you see as your “ goal” . Build a relationship with God❤️ he’s waiting. 🥰

    If you are in a toxic environment. If you can afford to move out please do. Protect yourself don't wait until you can afford it multiple times. Just move out, trust God and work harder. Pay your rent don't hang out with the wrong people. Live your life. This includes taking the risk to move out.

    this video is so enlightening! i’m 19 & i’ll be turning 20 in February. i feel like my life has been on pause since the pandemic started. however i’ve realized that it’s on pause because i’ve let it be. i’m not saying that to downplay the struggles i’ve faced throughout the pandemic BUT i have the self awareness to acknowledge that while some things were out of my control not everything is. i have the power to change my mindset and that’s something that i am continuing to get better at. thank you!!
    also i love the point abt saying no! i’ve struggled with saying no and setting boundaries for the majority of my life life so far. when i was 17, i broke up with my toxic ex of almost 3 years & the experience helped me grow sm as a person. saying no, setting boundaries, and simply not letting myself be available to everyone has helped a ton. i’m not a master at it but the effort is enough :)

It is really important that you make wise decisions while you are in your twenties because believe it or not, we are only young for a short time! By the time I was 24, I have a meaningful and stable career and at the age of 27 I bouught my first house! I also went travelling solo. I not from a rich family; I just made wise financial decisions and surrounded myself with positive and like minded people during my twenties.

I have graduated college, and now i have a full time job but i still having this feeling of longing for something to be better to do more ya know? plus now i’m starting to struggle more and more with my personal feelings about my body. i have learned to love me, but i struggle so much with positive body image & feeling comfortable in my skin more and more these days especially with dating. i don’t feel beautiful enough anymore for the type of men i want or wish to approach me and i think it shows when i’m out with friends in my confidence by assuming “they wouldn’t want me” or they’d prefer my friends more for x y and z reasons… this video was so good to watch as i continue to heal and be better for myself

    I moved out at 17 to start and learn about myself and have new experiences moved to a new country at 18. I’ve always relied on myself and found my independence then. I’m just 21 still learning about discipline when it comes to food and how to preserve my mental health… I make bold choices and I can’t lie I have never been so proud of myself. It has been hard especially while studying but now that I’ve been through it I know that later on in life I would know how to deal with the struggles I will face.

    I am 19, I recently cut off a toxic friend of 9 years and I made the mistake today to look into my insta requests to see if she'll at least try and reach out... It was a difficult decision for me, I cried to a lot of people about it, even God answered my prayers and showed me her true colours. It had to be done, but I can't help but think back about what was😪 I also have re-sits coming up, my hair to box braid, my friends birthday I need to attend, gifts i need to purchase. Best believe I am praying to God after I make this comment! But thank you for the video as you said no matter the history make the decision if you've spotted a toxic person, not everyone in this life should be allowed to have access to your life, because there's no point in accumulating more toxic history. I'd rather take the risk now in hopes of a happier life in the future💪🏾😊

    Not in my twenties yet but this was lovely and informative, I’ve actually learned a lot. I really learned how to say no this year, and honestly it’s been so healthy and good for me. The hobby bit really got me, I need to start being more proactive when it comes to my hobbies💕

    • @MyLucyBenson
      @MyLucyBenson  3 года назад +6

      Saying no when necessary and living selfishly is highly needed, I always encourage it. Taking your hobbies more seriously, perfecting your skills and monetizing them is the best thing you can do for yourself because it’s the first step to building wealth and creating sustainable brand for your future.

Im 24I feel like I've wasted a whole lot of my years being unserious and it makes me sad and almost depressed. I'm just learning to love my body though I get discouraged at times - I'm not so tall, I have flat butt and big calves and it feels so overwhelming at times.

  • @sindelherself
    @sindelherself 3 года назад +58

    The 'taking risks when it comes to relationships' speaks to me. I'm 23, in a relationship with someone I really like, I try to talk to other guys just to explore and see if I'd find anyone better but sis, it's all been tears! All of them don't match up to him in at least one aspect (that I can't overlook). Now my problem is this guy ticks all my boxes except one, LOOKS AND APPEARANCE. He doesn't pay attention to his looks and I get attracted to guys that look good, I love to see a guy that takes care of himself. I've complained to him but he doesn't get it. I'm really confused.

      @shianneoliva 3 года назад +32

      You said yourself that the other guys don’t measure up to him in an aspect that you can’t overlook so you have to decide, will you choose looks over everything else? You’re trying to find your life partner. Will you regret throwing away a good guy for someone that looks better when in 15 years he probably won’t look that good? But if you really can’t get over the appearance thing and he’s not putting in the effort I say find someone who is in alignment with your values. You only have one life 😊
