8 things I am doing at 21 to avoid regret at 31

You must have heard people regret wasting their time and energy on useless, unhealthy things in their teens or early twenties.

In this article, I am going to share 8 things I am doing now to become a better version of myself every day. And not to regret wasting my time and energy when I am 31 (Only if God allows me to live that long).

1) Working on a side hustle as a student:

Currently, I am a student. My classes are soon starting within a few weeks.

I am going to be studying Computer Science though I recently studied pre-med.

Yes!

I am going through a career shift. It is just about finding your interests.

I work as a freelance writer and will start my blogging site on WordPress within a few weeks. (I will an update about that too).

2) Trying my best to remain in shape even though I am a foodie:

I can’t even explain how much I love pizza, pasta, I mean every cheesy or delicious food. However, I don’t eat that often because I grew up in a family where we are advised to eat homemade food most of the time.

But if we ever go out to eat, you will see me with a Chicken.

As a university student like me, I already walk a lot in a day but if we are enjoying the holidays then I try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day at home.

I wish I could go to the gym now because I just love taking care of fitness but there are two reasons, why I can’t go now, hopefully in the future though.

  • I don’t have enough time a day to manage the gym. I am busy as an online writer and university student.
  • Gym memberships are hell ya expensive. I want to afford it by myself and I don’t think so, I should add it to my expenses yet.

I simply try not to cross the normal BMI range and not eat much junk.

3) Not picking on my pimples:

I dealt with acne for many years starting from the age of 14 but finally, my acne is a lot better now. I still do get pimples like every other girl, especially on the days when I eat chocolates or cakes, lol.

One thing I have learned from the acne journey shared by other people online is to not pick pimples, just take care of your skin and eat healthy, avoid too much sugar and junk.

Therefore I am in my skincare era and just love skincare products more than makeup.

4) Reading blogs about finances and learning investment for the future:

This is my favorite topic to read about. Not because I am obsessed with money. Not at all.

But I just wish to be smarter with my money in the future especially where people invest in things and end up losing so much.

5) Fulfilling duties as a Muslim:

I mainly focus on my relationship with God. It is just peaceful and calms my heart.

Makes me a better person and I am trying to become a better version of myself every single day.

6) Staying away from time-pass relationships and want to wait till marriage:

Thank God, I have stayed away from relationships in my teens and even now.

Firstly, I am Muslim and I want to obey ALLAH.

Secondly, I don’t want time-pass relationships with no serious intentions. Therefore, I don’t want to rush but wait till marriage. Currently, I am just focusing on myself.

7) Practicing gratitude every single day:

This is the most important thing. I have been through so many days where I feel sad and depressed but realized that happiness lies in little things.

One should practice gratitude every time even for little things because this is also a part of the “Law of attraction”.

If you are struggling with this then watch “Thewizardliz” on YouTube where she shares amazing tips about happier and healthier life

8) Becoming familiar with making a living online:

Oh, I love making money online. And I am sure, you do too! Don’t you?

The time we are living in is the best time to utilize and take advantage of the internet and enjoy freedom.

It has been almost two years since I made my first few dollars online. It was the best feeling ever.

I chose freelance writing since then and discovering an amazing community on Medium a few months ago was again the best thing that ever happened to me.

…………………………………………………………………………………………..

These are the things I am doing at 21 to make sure I at least reach somewhere better when I am 31 and I don’t regret wasting my early twenties.
