🪷 Who you are today isn't who you will be in ten years. 🪷

Change is the name of the game. Here are a few things I wish the me of ten years ago knew.

If you could go back a decade, five years or even a year, what would you tell that version of yourself?

Holding on to positive energy is an artform. It takes time to master.

Practice taking time at the end of the day to look back and find, name and recognise at least one positive thing that happened. I've found it's helped me to jot them down in a notebook, so even on the darkest days when I struggle to name something I have a book of little wins to read through and remind myself that there is good in my life.

It will give you the hope you need to keep going, no matter how hard it feels.

Life moves quickly. Notifications, growing to‑do lists, appointments. Before you know it the days have blurred together and another week is gone.

Slowing down isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing things with more presence, more softness, and more space to breathe.

Let yourself slowdown for a moment every day.

I was reading the Positive News email newsletter today and it had a brilliant article full of the best advice that readers had been given as a child that stuck with them.

It made me remember the advice I was given: Work to live, not live to work.

A career is great, but it's not what will bring you real joy.

What advice stuck with you? Share it in the comments, I'd love to see some more. 🥰
