30 Habits to start before turning 30

Here are 30 changes I made in my own life that brought me closer to joy. Keep in mind these habits will benefit us at any age; it’s never too late to start! Make lifestyle changes one at a time for true success. I recommend the book ‘Slight Edge’ by Jeff Olson if you need advice on how to make habits stick. Here it is as a PDF: https://givbuxuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/The-Slight-Edge-Jeff-Olson.pdf

1. WEAR SUNSCREEN DAILY

Avoid age spots – I already have them on my face! Avoid premature skin ageing. Pick up a chemical free sunscreen from any health shop.

2. QUIT GETTING DRUNK

Let’s be honest, it leads us to feel bad about ourselves. Also, it’s literally a poison to the human body eeekk!

3. END YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH TOBACCO

4. READ BOOKS

Daily if possible, even weekly. Factual, fiction, autobiography or whatever floats your boat. Keep looking until you find what you like.

5. SAY GOODBYE TO TOXIC FRIENDSHIPS

This was one of the hardest but necessary for internal peace and joy.

6. SPEAK WITH LOVE TO THE BODY PARTS YOU FELT/FEEL INSECURE ABOUT

I had a lot of making up to do to my stomach & arms.

Compassionate Living Series with Blessing

Here is the second part of our mini ‘compassionate living series, this time with Blessing Sibanda’. Enjoy!

So tell me Blessing, what does compassionate living mean to you? 

Being aware that all beings have a wide range of emotions that they express in many different ways, some of which we may not understand. It’s important to practise kindness and project positivity and light in all life situations.

What does practicing self-compassion look like to you?

To me self compassion means opening myself up to myself. Allowing myself to see what’s good around me and what’s negative. What negativity am I allowing into my space and how can I do things better to make myself happier. For example, I have a habit of overworking myself.I often get overwhelmed and struggle to find a good work/life balance. I tend to lean towards work more and find myself bringing work tasks home and feel low when I have neglected my outside work life for a while. So I am practicing constantly reminding myself that I have 24hours in a day and only 8 of those should be dedicated to work. The rest are to take care of me and those around me because that makes me feel good.

Can you remember a moment you felt truly free? Where were you & what were you doing? 

Honestly don’t remember the last time I fell truly free. I need to work on that.

If somebody came to you wondering how they could live a more compassionate life, what tip would you give them to help them on that journey? 

Compassionate Living Series with Tina

I’ve created a little series that shares the thoughts of 5 humans I admire as I believe their minds and hearts should be shared with the world. I hope you enjoy them. Expect them every Wednesday afternoon.

So tell me, what does compassionate living mean to you? 

Compassionate Living to me means treating others like I would want to be treated. 

What does practicing self-compassion look like to you? 

Practicing self-compassion means being kinder to myself. It involves not being so hard on myself when I make mistakes and also making time for self-care. 

Can you remember a moment you felt truly free? Where were you & what were you doing? 

Imperfectly Positive

I vow to share the ups and the downs, openly and authentically.

I vow to keep showing up for myself and for you! Expect a blog every Monday morning.

I vow to always show up with an open mind, knowing we learn together and continuously.

In this blog you’ll find talk about life as an event manager; what I’ve learned from the things that worked out perfectly as well as the mistakes that became valuable lessons. Also, life as a virtual college student and my passion for nurturing sustainability and diversity in the events industry. A dream of mine is to be part of an events team where compassion is the #1 priority; in all of our decisions, what we choose to share and how we do things.

As health and wellbeing are an essential part of life and business, you’ll find my journey to healing primary dysmennorea [painful periods and pms] and my gut health [diagnosed with sibo – methane dominant summer 2020]. Of course mental health chats too – essential!

This blog will also include insights from people I admire!

Excited to take this journey with you.
