● Your top 3  priorities for yourself 

Everyone’s priorities will be slightly different. But if you’re not entirely sure where to begin, you might find these suggestions helpful.

◆Health

Important as relationships are, none of that is going to matter if you aren’t healthy in mind and in body.

You need to prioritize your own health. Without it, you’ll have nothing at all.

Listen to your body and take note of the warning signs it gives you.

Give it the nourishment it needs and the respect it deserves.

Exercise, stretch, sleep, stimulate your mind, eat well, and remember, everything in moderation.

◆Family

This might be a cliché, but family really should come first.

But that’s not to say that this is necessarily going to be your biological family. There are families of all shapes and sizes, and they’re all just as important as each other.

The people that you consider to be your family should be a major priority in your life, always.

The memories you make with them will be the things you treasure over everything else.

Stand by them when things get tough.

◆Progress

The moment we stand still is the moment we get into a rut, and a rut is never a good place to be.

I had this idea when I was a kid that once I finished school, I’d know everything I could ever need to know, and life would all be plain sailing from there on out.

But, when we reach adulthood, we realize that that couldn’t be further from the truth.

It turns out that nothing could be more boring than never learning anything new.

Although we might not have to face any more standardized exams, we need the stimulation of new information.

Our opinions, views, and bank of knowledge should constantly be growing and evolving.
