  08/02/2017

Your 20s are a very popular time for self-reflection and improvement. Upon graduating college, mostly everyone feels like a fish out of water. Although you might’ve gone into college feeling like you had the world at your fingertips, after graduating, you’ve probably changed your tune.

Now is the perfect time to self reflect and really identify what you want out of life. In the mean time, here are 4 practical ways to develop yourself personally:

  1. Read Books

Life may seem like its flying forward at 100 mph, but try and make time to unwind and read a book every day. Whether it’s during your morning commute, over lunch, or late at night when you’re relaxing from the long day, open up a book. Instagram and Facebook can wait. Exploring the mental stimulation and exercise from reading real pages in a book is incomparable.

  1. New Languages

Not only is learning a new language rewarding and therapeutic, it also makes you a more desirable hire in the eyes of employers. If you’re struggling to find employment in your 20s, learning a new language can turn your entire life around. There are a lot of inexpensive online programs audiobooks that will help you get started.

  1. New Hobbies

Drinking alcohol probably used to be your main hobby, but now is the time to pick up something more classy and beneficial for yourself. Explore fitness or yoga, as well as culinary classes, or other types of hobbies that will actually improve your self worth.

  1. Wake Up Early

You’ll get so much more done in a day if you choose to get up at 6AM instead of 8:30AM. The mornings are the perfectly peaceful parts of the day to envision your goals and plan out how you’re going to achieve them.

It’s time to focus on your personal development.
