19 things I've learnt in 19 years

This year was my first year out of school and I've been thinking a lot about what's important to me, what my beliefs are and what I stand for. In thinking about these things, I've reflected over what I have learnt in my 19 years of life, and compiled them all into a list to share with you! I'd love to know if any of these stick out for you or even if there's something that you've learnt (that I haven't mentioned here). 

19 things I've learnt in 19 years (give or take a few)

• Pay more attention to your thoughts. What you're thinking is what you're attracting.
• Not everyone thinks the same way you think.
• You're feelings are always valid. You're allowed to feel them and you can take as much time as you need to heal.
• What you give power to, has power over you.
• The most beautiful things in life are moments and feelings.
• Some things will never go back to how they used to be, and that's okay.
• Talk to yourself in the same way you would talk to someone else that you love.
• You can't find happiness in other people.
• Do more of what makes you happy.
• It's okay to fail.
• Spend time with your family.
• It's okay to ask for help
• Talk about yourself less
• Always stay true to yourself and your beliefs.
• Exercise more often, even if it feels like a chore
• Debt isn't worth it
• Holding onto a grudge is like injecting yourself with poison every day
• This too shall pass
• You aren't always right
• You can't control others
• Make peace with your past
• What other people think of you is none of your business
• Let go of striving for perfection
• Engage in acts of kindness as often as possible
• Never send an email to/ have a conversation with something you're angry with. Wait until you have processed your emotions.
