1. Screw Society
Tear up the traditional, old-fashioned ‘rule book’ for what is expected of 20 somethings. If you get married at 25, that is great, but you also shouldn’t feel like a failure if you don’t want to. Write your own rules!
2. The Two C’s
It’s vital that you finally learn how to incorporate the two Cs in to your life: communication and compromise. When we are children we are all inherently selfish, but going forward in to adulthood you have to learn to live in harmony with others.

Do not be pressured by your parents in to following a path that you never wanted to go down. Be strong in your convictions and live your own dream.

Don’t live a false life on social media that makes you out to be something you are not. Live and love your truth and you will feel much more complete.

If you are a good person, then you deserve to be respected by everybody. Have courage in your convictions and don’t stand for any unwarranted disrespect that might come your way.

Never lose your sense of wonder and curiosity with the world. Becoming a true cynic will do nothing but limit your possibilities in life.
9. Explore
Don’t settle down too early. Do some exploring in your early adulthood so that you don’t feel unfulfilled in your later years.
10. Practice Humility
Being humble is one of the most important life lessons to master. Remember that you are not entitled to anything and that every day is a gift.
11. Don’t Be Lazy
Try to avoid continually pressing snooze on that alarm clock. Make the most of the days you have and don’t get into the habit of being too lazy.
12. Healthy Diet
The sooner you adopt healthy eating or change your diet, the longer you are going to be able to feel the benefits of it for.
13. Get Some Sun
Getting out in the sun, even for as little as ten minutes a day, can have a really positive impact on your health and your mood.
14. Spice It up
Adding a little spice to your meals every now and then can give your metabolism a boost and make you feel much healthier in the long run.
15. Stand up
Studies have proven that standing up even for only 15 minutes a day can make a big difference for your long-term health.
16. Fun Exercise
Find a type of exercise that you actually enjoy doing. It doesn’t feel like such a chore that way and you will be inspired to work out much more often.
17. Meat Free Days
I’m not suggesting you go full vegetarian, but perhaps try something like ‘Meat Free Mondays’ to see if it makes a difference for your body and digestion in the long run. Plus it's kinda' cool to call yourself a flexitarian.
18. No Tech Zone
Commit to making your bedroom a no tech zone. You will feel much less zombie-like if your phone does keep you up until the early hours of the morning!
19. Get a Good Doctor
Get yourself sorted out with a good doctor who you will be able to stay with for the years to come. It’s great to have one physician who you can build a relationship with; it keeps your future health care consistent.
Comments
Paola: Meat and dairy has been linked with heart diseases and different types of cancer. Overall, taking them away from your diet is the healthiest thing you can do. You just need to know how to do it right. Lots of fruits and eating enough calories and carbohydrates. Which is plenty. And to the other commenter: everything has protein. You can find protein anywhere. Plus, too much protein can also be a bad thing too.
Amairani: The heck is a flexitarian? Lol but yay for veganism! 2 years going vegan and it feels great, inside and out. Check out YouTube channel Revolution Bloom. They have awesome recipes and it's easy to follow :) Animals are friends, not food 💚
Asiya: @meagan yes that I also believe is right... People should eat what suits them... I just wanted also get to know a bit more about people option on being vegetarian. :)
Ceeaye201: I've started changing some lifestyle ways some of these are now essential for me(:
Meagan: For you*
Asiya: You think so? How is it not healthy? Doesn't it it provide the protein you
Paola: People should definitely become vegan or vegetarian though. Anything that comes from an animal is not healthy
Paola: And no, I don't think about eating meat anymore because once you know how to make the diet work for you your cravings literally banish. It's about eating enough carbs (good ones) to keep you satisfied. Whole grains do wonders to give you energy and eliminating cravings. I became vegetarian mostly for ethical reasons, but I really did dig into the health aspects and it's really beneficial!
Rajesh: How are you
Meagan: I was a vegetarian for 7 years, vegan for 2 of those. I now eat some seafood, lean means, and occasionally grass fed beef. As long as you're aware of the source of your food, I think it's fine. You should do whatever feels right for you. I never noticed any significant difference in my health between eating meat and not eating it......other than perhaps my skin actually improved when I stated eating meat again. That said, again, it's a very personal choice and you should just do what's right got yo
