What can life do. Learn a foreign language and make friends from this country

Sooner or later, each of us thinks about the meaning of life, which is almost impossible to understand. But still, each for himself defines this meaning in his own way. For someone it is to raise and raise children, for someone to travel the whole world, and someone sets a goal to leave his name in history as an inventor or discoverer. There are a lot of meanings and reasoning about them still lead to a dead end. But life is still one and therefore it is pointless to spend it on all sorts of thoughts, but it makes sense to live it at least beautifully, and in old age to share impressions with grandchildren is a dream of many.

For me, the New Year is a time to take stock, think and ask myself... Ask what worked and what didn't, think about what could have been done better or faster. Time, unfortunately, does not increase, every year you grow old and you understand that it is time to think more intensively with your head, otherwise there is no way ...

Since ancient times, it has been believed that from the new year, each of us has the opportunity to start life from scratch. Well, there is something in it. Our holidays last a long time, someone goes to celebrate far away, but I never saw much sense in this. It's simple, sometimes it comes to the point of absurdity, so what's interesting about celebrating the New Year under water? Well, nothing, as for me. Although you can take your family and go on vacation to the mountains, why not…

And here's another, the fulfillment of desires ... Under the chiming clock, everyone says goodbye to the old new year, and expects from the new year that he will give them a magic wand that will do everything for them. But that's all, a fairy tale, Gentlemen, an ordinary New Year's fairy tale ... You really have to work hard, and there is no smell of magic here anymore.

Of course, no one will forbid making a wish, but you should not hope for a miracle. In general, it’s better to make a goal out of a dream, draw up a specific plan, and, while the idea is still pure, and doubts have not overwhelmed your head, GET TO WORK.

In general, another month before the new year, and we are already thinking about what and how to do ...

It turned out to be a small list, only 100 points =) There are serious things, there are funny ones, there are just sincere ones. In general, I hope that those who read it will bring inspiration and new ideas for their future plans for the new year.

To-do list for the year! 100 things to do in the new year

1. . It's no surprise that this item made it to the top of my list. After all, the development process involves continuous improvement. Each of us knows what he needs to change in himself in order to become better. So we remember all such moments and make a list of 5-12 bad habits. And then, we go to point 2, and we work on them for a whole year.
2. . The process is similar to making a list of bad habits, only now we are already thinking specifically about what needs to be done to become more disciplined or healthy, or become an expert in some area. This is your fantasy stream. Because It takes about a month to form a new habit. Then over the next year, 12 new habits will appear in your arsenal that will make your life easier. Think about these habits in advance or you can take from our list, because. the items on the list below can become your new habit.
3. Come up with ways to implement them. Turn your dreams into goals, because this is what our plan of action for the next year has been created for.
4. Write your plan for the year and follow it. If you have a plan, then you know where to go.
5. Sometimes get out in a quiet coffee shop, in order to be alone and make a plan for the next month. It is better to choose your favorite cafe.
6. Once a month, set aside time for yourself to cook a new dish. In this case, you can kill two birds with one stone: the first is to diversify your menu or find your signature dish, which you will treat your guests every time.
7. Learn a new / or bring to mind an old foreign language (English / German / Italian). What are the advantages of introducing this habit: firstly, you train your memory, and secondly, you train your brain. The main thing to understand is that the language requires constant daily practice.
8. Learn poetry. This item, like the previous one, trains our memory, and sometimes you can show off your intellect at a party. Who does not like to learn poems can learn their favorite song. And remember that the main thing is constancy.
9. Read the minimum. And maybe more, it all depends on your appetite. By the way, if you decide to read specialized literature, then in a year you can become an expert in your chosen field.
10. Watch only. How do you know if a movie is good? Easy, ask your friends what their favorite movie is, or read online reviews before watching a movie. After conducting such a study, you can be 90% sure that the film is worth watching. Don't waste your time on stupid movies and TV shows. By the way, you can arrange a joint viewing of movies with friends on Fridays. 😉
11. Start cooking sweets at home and completely eliminate purchased pastries.
12. Pass a medical examination or simply make an appointment with the necessary doctors. Take care of your health and it will thank you years later.
13. . The ability to complain and feel like a victim, this is what you need to get rid of in the first place. Of course, there is nothing wrong if you tell someone about your problems once. But when this is repeated over and over again, it can ruin your positive aura and your friends will start to avoid you, so you need to start to get rid of this addiction right now.
14. (with vitamins and minerals) and stick to it. I think there is not much to say about the benefits of proper nutrition. The only thing I want to emphasize is that a planned menu will help you save time and money.
15. Accustom yourself to a special regime (wake up 5-6 in the morning, hang up until 23:00) Thanks to this mode, you will have a lot of extra time. After all, when the city wakes up, you have already done a lot of things.
16. Say "I love you" every day. For yourself, for those around you, for your loved ones!
17. Every month, plan who you want to meet that month. Do not forget old friends, even if you rarely see each other, call them, or even better, meet.
18. Plan a time when you can visit distant relatives. If you rarely see them.
19. Get to know your hometown as best you can. Cafes, exhibitions, buildings, nooks and crannies. Decide for yourself. Set aside a day once a month when you can explore your city.
20. . When people complain about something, they don't appreciate what they have now. And God takes it away from them sooner or later. So, start appreciating everything that is around you right now, without waiting for the new year.
21. At least once a month, turn off your mobile phone for the whole day and spend the day thinking.
22. Learn to think at least once a week about ways to generate income (passive and active). Counting on retirement in our time is a very optimistic forecast. So, insure and create passive income and save for the future yourself.
23. Write the story of your life. Start writing a diary. If you read this article after the start of next year, then don't wait until next year to start. Start writing right now, everything that worries you motivates. And do not forget to analyze every day.
24. Take one characteristic photo per day. Memories fade quickly, and if you can capture what was important to you that day. You will have something to remember later. Make a separate folder on your computer. And sign each photo in a special way. In addition, this task will teach you discipline.
25. Learn all the capitals of the world. And make a plan of the places you want to see someday. Be sure to explain why these places. Write a detailed description of each location. What places would you like to visit. This will bring you closer to your goal.
26. Make a list of 12 achievements for the year. It often happens that you come for an interview, they ask you about your achievements. And you have nothing to answer. It seems to have been running all year like a squirrel in a wheel, but you can’t remember anything. Therefore, everything must be recorded. Plan ahead for your accomplishments. Think about the area in which you want to achieve something. And forward for achievements.
27. Plan your budget(20% save, 10% charity, 50% recurring spending, 10% entertainment)
28. Create a personal budget. I think you have found out more than once that the money has run out, and you still have to wait and wait until the salary, like you didn’t buy anything, and the money evaporated. Yes, they have such a property - to disappear. But you can take control of them. For this you need a personal budget. If someone needs it, then you can download the template .
29. Buy things on sale. Save your budget usually in January and July you can buy things with the maximum discount.
30. Start . If you are not you, then who is? They asked themselves a question. Now start loving and pampering yourself.
31. Stop putting things off for the future. This is probably one of the most difficult tasks for the next year. But still doable. Try to do small things right away. I need to wash the pan, do it now, I need to finish the report, quickly get to work. Of course, if this is not a five-minute matter, treat it like a game, make yourself an apartment cleaning project or a conservation project. And when the job is done, you will be proud of yourself, because you completed the whole project.
32. Spend less than you earn. Life on credit is not life. Live within your means. Of course, there are force majeure, but this is a couple of times in a lifetime. If you want to spend more, find an opportunity to earn more.
33. . In the truest sense of the word, mentally get rid of unnecessary thoughts. If you find it difficult to do this in your mind, write down these thoughts on paper and burn them. This ritual will help erase unnecessary thoughts from memory. Do not rush to fill your brain with everything you see. Focus only on the things you need.
34. Learn to meditate. With our frantic pace of life, it is imperative to relax. The buzzword comes from yoga. If you don't have time to go to class. Sit in silence or turn on some instrumental music and try to get all the thoughts out of your head. Enjoy the silence. Learn to relax and be distracted from the outside world.
35. Limit social media to an hour a day. Better yet, avoid them. I just can't do it sometimes it's very important to keep in touch with old friends who are abroad. But you need to limit the time, an hour is enough to answer messages and view the feed.
36. Forgive yourself for mistakes. Everyone can make a mistake. We learn from mistakes. Stop thinking about them. Otherwise you will live in the past.
37. Learn to keep silent. I am a very sociable person by nature. It's hard for me to understand how people can be silent when they walk together. But you have to learn this. Because silence also brings people together and you will not have time to say something superfluous.
38. . There are many methods of concentration. I recommend reading the book by L. J. Palladino - Maximum Concentration. It is freely available on the Internet. Perhaps in this book you will find your way to concentrate. So far I have found one way for myself - this is the Pomodoro principle (25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest)
39. Stop going out in the sun without sunscreen. The sun is very dangerous for our skin. Take care of her.
40. Feed your brain. In fact, now there are a lot of ways to develop our brain: games, crossword puzzles, solving puzzles or logical problems.
41. Surround yourself with successful people. The saying “Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are” is not invented for nothing. Do you want to be successful people? Communicate with the same. And you will not notice how you begin to change.
42. View speeches of famous speakers, study their habits and intonations. I really like the Internet channel http://www.ted.com/ . Famous speakers share their discoveries. It is very informative and in English. Although there are Russian subtitles.
43. Stop hanging out with people who treat you badly. In fact, why hang out with people who don't appreciate you. Relatives are the exception. But with the rest, you can safely say goodbye.
44. . This is probably one of my bad habits that I carefully fight. Try to complete every task to the end. Don't start a new book if you haven't finished the old one.
45. Play boardgames. Winter is coming and it's the best time to spend with friends.
46. Call your parents more often. Better daily.
47. Learn to see the good in people. This is the quality that is more valuable than money. Despite the fact that you are afraid of many people, this should not prevent you from seeing something good in them. You can learn something from each person, and what exactly the choice is yours.
48. Stop comparing yourself to others. You are you. And You will never be another person. You don't have to compete with anyone. Compare results only with the past You. With what you were and what results you achieved.
49. . This quality will be useful to You in many areas of life. While sitting on the subway, pay attention to details, or memorize something along the way.
50. Stop pouring out the ones you love. Let's admit to ourselves, everyone does it at every opportunity. What for? Unclear. Try to distract yourself from problems when you are around loved ones.
51. Find a job you love. This is what everyone should do. Everyone has the right to a good job and good health and job satisfaction.
52. Clean the apartment daily. In fact, it is difficult if you devote only 20 minutes a day to cleaning. Divide the apartment into zones. And clean one area every day.
53. Find time to fantasize. We are all children at heart, and it is very important for us to dream. Don't limit yourself to this. Fantasize.
54. Focus on what you are really good at. This can become a new source of income.
55. Get rid of junk at home. If it's hard to throw everything away, give it to someone. The main thing is not to take it to the garage. It's for your Mercedes, not for junk storage.
56. Get rid of the habit of scrolling through negative scenarios in your head. Do not attract negativity, of course, you should play it safe, but you should not constantly think about it.
57. Find a common interest with yours. Common things bring you together, make a common list with your soul mate and gradually do it.
58. Learn to keep your word. If you want to gain respect among friends and colleagues, keep your word. If you can't do it, it's best to refuse.
59. Introduce the 10 minute rule into your life. If you need to do something, and you have absolutely no desire, introduce the 10-minute rule into your life. Spend at least 10 minutes a day doing anything. After some time, you will complete the task. Without putting a lot of effort into it. After all, 10 minutes go by very quickly.
60. Spend a weekend in another city or country.
61. Make a professional photo session outdoors or in a beautiful studio.

In general, there is no end of business 🙂. But everything is surmountable, the main thing is that there is a desire.

Throughout our lives, we do many things, do different things, sometimes even mechanically, without thinking about anything. We live as if we were programmed for several dozen functions, components of a large system. With a brain filtered from advertising, we cannot distinguish between true desires and imposed ones. We want the same as everyone else. So it's easier!

But who said that everyone should want to visit Paris or take their beloved to Venice? Why is it a dream of many to see the pyramids of Giza and walk around Times Square? Aren't there other places? Are there no other desires? Do we all need to want one!?

We decided to move away from the standard platitudes, let go of our imagination and prepared for you a list of what we think are not banal things that need to be done before death. And we think we succeeded. Enjoy!

50 non-banal things to do in your life:

1. Draw your picture

It doesn't matter that it won't be da Vinci's work. Buy a canvas, a frame, an easel, and draw your own picture of life. Anyone can write a book, but you paint a picture

2. Rescue someonesomething life

Donate blood, donate to surgery. Learn to provide quality emergency care, and who knows, maybe you will save someone's life.

3. Donate some of your belongings to the poor or needy

We throw away a lot of unnecessary things in our opinion that others may need.

4. Plant a tree or garden

Even if you don't have a place, you can do it in the park, in the forest. And it doesn't matter that no one can see it and give you a medal. You are doing this for the planet, for the future that we will definitely have if we do this.

5. Adopt a cat or dog from a shelter

Just don't look for a bunch of excuses that you can't do it. You can. You just don't want to. And even if you already have a dog. It's okay, still take and give to someone who does not have them, or who is now single and needs a friend. It's so wonderful to have a pet that will pick you up from work. They will delight your guests, your children. The joy and unconditional love of your pets will always live in your home.

6. Regardless of religion and your views on faith, visit one holy place (or several) that is available to you.

This will give you the opportunity to reflect on your life. Maybe after that you will change something in your life, put things in order in your head, think about the meaning of life. For those who do not believe in anything at all, well, you can go to the grave of your relatives or acquaintances, those who have already died. Sit there and think that your life here is not endless, and you are not God, and someday the moment of your death will come. So maybe it's time to start living and do something worthwhile than buying a new smartphone, watching stupid TV shows, being a consumer, and denying everything.

7. Ask for forgiveness and forgive

Do not be proud and selfish, take courage and ask for forgiveness from those who were offended today, yesterday, a year, two, ten years ago, at school, at university, at a former job. Forgive those who once offended you, and you still remember this and are angry. You will definitely feel better, you will become kinder, this will prolong your life, and you will not fade out because of anger and hatred. Let go of the past. After all, it holds many very tightly. In the end, no one knows what will happen to us tomorrow, and when we will definitely leave this world forever. Let other people not hold a grudge against you, and you do not hold. And yes, do not say that you are not offended by anyone. And that no one has ever offended you, and you do not hold a grudge against these people. Sometimes memories come up and pain, and the burden from them does not allow us to live on, does not allow us to be happy and open to the world.

8. Hitchhike

Take the risk, it's worth it!

9. Don't be a consumer and don't be fooled by ads

The main thing here is to understand where your desires are true, and where they are imposed on you from outside.

10. Learn a foreign language and make real friends from the country whose language you have learned.

Each new language is another personality in you. A new language is a whole layer of culture, customs, relationships and impressions. Do not leave yourself such pleasure.

11. Travel with coacheserfing

Coaching is a network of open and helpful people. You will be provided with free accommodation and other assistance during your trip. And it doesn’t matter which country you go to – there will always be a couple of suitable options. Plus, with its help you can implement the previous point. Web site: couchsurfing.org

12. Get a job as a volunteer

What could be better than helping others. Clean up the park, help the homeless, show your humanity.

13. Do the one crazy thing you've always been afraid to do.

What's stopping you? Forget about barriers! Only forward!

14. Read a book by Dan Butner and live at least 10 years longer.

You can take any other book that has proven itself. But in this, simple and very effective ways to prolong your life are collected. And this is proved by numerous studies of the oldest long-livers on the planet. Everything is in the book. Live long and well!

15. Learn poetry, learn a beautiful verse

Learn poetry, it's so beautiful! Choose at least one verse that really touched you and memorize it and quote it constantly. I did this with Rudyard Kipling's verse.

16. Live alone for 7 days without the Internet, TV, telephone and computer, far from civilization and means of communication.

Sounds like a feat, really! This is a small feat. Only 7 days, and you can return, already a completely different person. But at the same time, what is 7 days…

17. Keep a diary, write down your thoughts, ideas. And then pass it on to your children or grandchildren so that they get to know you and your inner world better.

I would like to get one from my father or grandfather.

18. Choose one day a week and dedicate it to family and friends

Get together with close friends, relatives, cook some new dish and have a good time. Let this become your tradition.

19. Find a person (or several) who has the same dream as you. And together, reach it.

You can start with something small. And who knows, maybe you will meet not only a friend to achieve goals, but also a life partner. After all, you will have so much in common

20. Help someone for free, without elevating yourself, without a sense of pride.

For example, a friend and a neighbor or a simple passerby. But only so that no one knows about it and your level of pride does not go off scale from this.

21. Buy a bouquet of flowers and give to passers-by

A trifle, but nice

22. Make a donation to the orphanage with old things from childhood, or a cash contribution or your time.

After all, there are so many deprived of fate in the world who need attention and warmth. Don't be indifferent.

23. Organize or just participate in a flash mob

It can be anything, feel like an actor or dancer in Indian TV shows. Although this is now a trend, it will bring a lot of laughter and joy.

24. Find an old photo with your friends, collect them again in the same place and take the same photo but only where you are already adults.

Maybe you haven’t seen some of the friends in your old photo for a dozen years - it will be a great reason to see you again. After all, friends are second, family!

25. Make a family tree at least up to the 10th generation, and preferably more.

You must know who your ancestors are and honor their memory. Who knows - maybe the glory of your family will begin with you or noble blood flows in you. Do it while your old relatives are still alive.

26. If you are a professional in some field, then find yourself a student and teach him all the skills and subtleties of your profession.

Pass on your gift, do not hide it only in yourself, let it walk around the world and make the lives of others easier and better. Become a master for your apprentice.

27. At least once in a lifetime, do not lie, do not be hypocritical for a whole day. Say whatever you think and feel.

Difficult challenge. But try to go beyond, do not be afraid of the consequences. In 10 years, you are unlikely to remember the problems that arose because of your sincerity. Either this day will change your life forever, and you will never again be cunning either in front of others or in front of yourself. It's interesting!

28. Create your inspiration board.

Not to be confused with the visualization board, they are completely different things. We all sometimes get angry, celebrate ourselves badly and experience anger, aggression. We all sometimes give up and have no strength to continue to fight and achieve goals. Create a board or poster with photos, drawings, things that will 100% and always be able to cheer you up, inspire you, motivate you and inspire you to believe in yourself.

29. Visit a slaughterhouse, a fur factory and a massive deforestation site.

It is not worth living in illusions, look behind the curtain of these terrible places, these modern concentration camps. After this, you will no longer be the same, no one will be. Unless you have a stone instead of a heart.

30. Visit the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat.

This is a unique monument to human stupidity and shortsightedness. A good example of what not to do and what it can lead to. Don't build your "ChNPP" in your life.

31. Make a gift with your own hands and give to a dear and close person.

Put all your imagination, all your abilities and desire to make it nice. But give just like that, without expectations! Main attention.

32. Never cheat on your significant other

And don't say that you were in a quarrel then. If you decide to be together, then be responsible for this decision. And if you are not confident in yourself, then there is no need to marry. Just don't make life difficult for yourself or others. Don't hurt people.

33. Throw a surprise party for your loved ones

And it does not matter that you may not have a lot of money. Just decorate the house with balloons, bake a cake, learn a song. After all, it is not the value of the gift that matters, but the strength of the feelings that you put into it, and the surprise and happiness that you give.

34. Always give your mom flowers and a card on Mother's Day, March 8, her birthday.

And this is the minimum! Because without her, you wouldn't exist. After all, she gave you life. Forgive her if there is anything for that and do not be angry with her. After all, the moment will come when it will not be, then you will no longer be able to make up for lost time and words.

35. Appreciate your friends

After all, a friend is the most valuable thing you have and will always have. You will need it even more when your children grow up and leave your home, when your parents are gone. And if you have childhood friends, then value them 100 times more, because they loved you and were friends with you long before your high position, your wife / husband, children. Don't exclude them from your life. And if fate has divided you and scattered around the world - find, call, ask for forgiveness and tell about your feelings and the need for their participation in your life.

36. Live a day without electricity at all

Even without a refrigerator =). Another, out of the box, but very useful act. Break the pattern, break the system, at least for a day. If you fail, at least once, this day does not count.

37. Stay a month as a vegetarian

I think after the implementation of point #29 it will be much easier than it seems. Believe me - you will not cause any harm to health, but you will save a few innocent lives, and you may like it.

38. Do not visit zoos and circuses

In England, for example, it was forbidden to use animals in performances. So why should you look at these unfortunate captives, rejoice at their tricks, when cruelty in training and inhumane attitude stand behind this. If you want to see wild animals, go on a research trip or just watch amazing films about nature.

39. Set aside EVERY day a small amount for 10 years and with the money collected, together with your friends, do what you always wanted to, but did not have enough money, or visit the place where you always wanted to visit with friends.

Make your dream come true, even after 10 years. This will instill in you perseverance and determination. Prove to yourself that you are worthy! I've been postponing for 4 years now.

40. Tell everyone you love and appreciate how much you love and appreciate them.

The simplest, and at the same time, the most difficult of this list. Do it today and write what you felt. Repeat once a month.

41. Have and raise at least two children

You will be good parents!

42. Sew clothes for yourself and, possibly, dress in it.

We all wear clothes, but someone creates them. Become the creator of your own clothing line for yourself. Creative ideas for you! And more color!

43. Learn some practical skill

For example, beekeeping, or gardening, woodcarving or bricklaying. In an age where everything can be done with the right hand, holding it on the mouse, this will be a breath of fresh air for you. It's so nice to be able to do something material, even if it's fixing the plumbing.

44. Plant 7 oaks, grow them, and after 20-30 years, cut down, make boards and lay oak parquet in your son's house.

And when your son walks on this floor with his children, and the floor creaks softly, he will remember that you made this floor for him and your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will know about it

45. Buy yourself a string bag and go grocery shopping with it

It's simple, give up plastic bags and you will be happy.

46. ​​Write real letters and give real cards

I read somewhere that after the era of mankind there will be no information left, since everything is stored electronically. So it may be worth giving real cards to loved ones, writing real letters on paper and printing photos in albums, and not posting them on the wall in social networks. Networks, write sms and e-mails?

47. Make your own personal time capsule and put your message to future contemporaries in it.

Send a piece of yourself on a journey through time

48. Forgive a person for an act that you would never, ever forgive. Forgive and let go!

This is the prerogative of the strong in spirit!

49. Conquer one of your biggest fears! Get taller than him

You will later remember with a smile how you could be afraid of this. Just take a step forward.

50. Unleash your talent

There are no talented people, just not everyone suspects their talents. Your task is to find, nurture and let blossom your talent, your abilities. The main thing here is patience and perseverance!

51. Add your personal item to this list and complete it

The list would not be complete without this item.

Dare!

P.S. Our book ⇓⇓ ⇓

Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives.
William Ross

You may be familiar with the English expression bucket list is a list of everything you want to do in life.

Today we're going to talk about why it's so important to make a to-do list for life, and tell you what you should definitely add to your list.

Why make a to-do list for a lifetime

90% of the people living on planet Earth, day in and day out, are engaged in current affairs, which fall on each of us in an endless flurry. And sometimes we get the feeling that our days are completely useless: we live either work or household chores and wake up every day so that this everyday whirlwind swirls us again.

What have you achieved in the past three months? What are your goals for the next three months? I bet that most of the cases will be from the category of everyday - work or household chores-business-business. But let's imagine: if we find out that we only have a couple of days left to live, these things will still be of great importance to us?

A to-do list for life, unlike our daily-week-monthly to-do lists, reminds us of what really matters. He will help us make the most of every passing day.

How to make your to-do list

How long does it take you to create a to-do list for life? On average, it takes from 30 minutes to an hour if you just list the goals without specifying them. If you approach the matter more responsibly and write down each of your goals in detail, then you will spend several hours compiling a list. But trust me, it's worth the time.

You may already have a similar list, in which case this article will help you complete it.

Now grab a pen and paper, or create a new document on your computer. After that, start writing down whatever comes to mind as you read the following questions:

• What would you do today if you knew that you would be gone tomorrow?
• What would you do if you had unlimited time, money and other resources?
• What have you always wanted to do but haven't done yet?
• What places (countries, cities, etc.) would you like to visit?
• What are your main goals and cherished dreams?
• What kind of person do you want to become?
• What experience would you like to have?
• What do you want to remember in your old age?
• What skills do you want to acquire?
• What would you like to do with your loved ones?
• Do you have any idols you dream of meeting in person?
• What do you want to achieve in all areas of life?
• What do you need to make your life meaningful?

Don't stop until your list is at least 101 items. If you feel that you are at an impasse, then try to loosen up: there is no place on your list for doubts and thoughts about possible failures. It will contain everything you dream of, what you want to achieve, everything you want to see and feel.

101 things to do in life

The list below will hopefully inspire you and point you to a few items you might want to add to your own list. :)

1. Travel around the world

tomertu/Shutterstock.com

Traveling is what helps us get new experiences, expand our horizons, get out of our comfort zone and meet new people.

If you want to travel, then add this desire to your list, but be sure to specify which countries you want to visit. For example:

2. Learn a new language

Learning a new language is never easy, but imagine how great it is when you can speak fluently with a foreigner! People who speak multiple languages ​​fluently deserve respect. Why shouldn't you be one of them? :)

3. Find a job in another field

Firmorama Design Studio/Flickr.com

Think about what profession you have always dreamed of. Maybe now is the time to try to find your dream job? Or maybe you have a favorite hobby that you want to make a life's work?

Although it is not at all necessary to change your life so drastically if you are completely satisfied with your current job, and if you want to develop new skills or try something else, you can sign up as a volunteer or become a freelancer.

4. Reach your ideal weight

Jeanette Goodrich/Flickr.com

We all want to look healthy and attractive. I do not urge you to starve yourself in pursuit of your ideal, but each of us can eat right and play sports.

5. Run a marathon

swissnature3/Flickr.com

If you set yourself such an ambitious goal, then its implementation will require some preparation and a lot of effort from you. Running a marathon is a real feat. If it seems to you now that this is very difficult, think about the benefits that you will receive: you will become more resilient and persistent, improve not only your physical, but also mental health.

6. Take part in a triathlon

jonny baker/Flickr.com

Swimming, cycling and running - triathlon will test your endurance and you will have a reason to be proud of yourself!

7. Try a new sport

Francois Peeters/Flickr.com

Exercising is a great way to stay healthy and keep fit. Choose the sport that suits you.

8. Scuba dive

Seeing the underwater world and all its inhabitants with your own eyes is one of those experiences that last a lifetime!

9. Ski down the mountain

Shawn DeGroot/Flickr.com

This is an activity that is certainly breathtaking and an incredible experience, but do not forget that it is not always safe for beginners. So before you start riding alone, you should go through some preparation.

10. Walk the Inca Trail

This is the most famous route, one of the five best in the world. The incredible beauties that you will meet along the way are worth seeing with your own eyes.

11. Go horseback riding

bravery914/Flickr.com

This is a great sport to help you relax and unwind. In addition, you will learn to take care of another living being and, most likely, make a true friend.

12. Skydiving

Every second person in the world dreams of skydiving. :) You probably dream of doing it too.

The reasons why people want to conquer mountains can be different: some want to increase their endurance or overcome feelings of fear, while others simply enjoy it.

Of course, climbing a mountain is a real feat that deserves to be on your list.

14. Learn to play chess

TheTelephoneGirl/Flickr.com

Playing chess is not just a way to have a good time. This is a game that will teach you to be more attentive, think logically and always think before you act.

15. Visit school teachers

gualtiero boffi/Shutterstock.com

Of course, it is likely that you have long forgotten many school teachers. But surely among them there is at least one who taught you something important, inspired you to something, or simply helped with life advice.

Find time to visit them, for example on Teacher's Day.

16. Let the other know how much this person means to you.

Vera F/Shutterstock.com

Feel free to say "I love you" to the most important person in your life.

17. Surprise someone

Michael Fletcher/Flickr.com

When was the last time you gave someone a surprise? Remember how nice it is? So prepare a romantic dinner or send flowers to your girlfriend.

18. Do a good deed without expecting anything in return.

This is the problem with most of us: if we provide someone with a service, we always expect that they will give us something in return.

Try at least once to do a good deed without expecting anything in return. There are probably orphanages or animal shelters in your city that need your help.

19. Change someone's life

Koosha Jafari/Flickr.com

Surely among the people close to you there are those whose life you can change for the better: your parents, your loved one, your children or your friends. If you can make their dream come true, help them achieve a goal, or solve a difficult problem, then go for it.

20. Become a mentor to someone

Photographee.eu/Shutterstock.com

This is a mutually beneficial exchange: teaching something to others, at the same time we develop ourselves. No matter what area you are an expert in, you can always teach others what you know and can do.

21. Do what you love

Our life is too short to do what we don't like. If your job does not bring you pleasure, you should change it.

Try to figure out what you want to do in life. Draw? Sing? Become a trainer at a fitness center? Try to find opportunities to do what you really enjoy.

22. Start your own business

KieferPix/Shutterstock.com

Of course, entrepreneurship is an area associated with great risks and uncertainty. But if you feel like you have an entrepreneurial streak and have always dreamed of starting your own business, then you should definitely do it.

23. Fly in a hot air balloon

See the world from a bird's eye view, feel free and get a lot of new experiences. Feel free to add hot air ballooning to your list. :)

24. Sing in public

Candice Linkie/Flickr.com

If you love to sing, then don't keep your passion to yourself! The next time an opportunity presents itself (corporate at work, family reunion, etc.), feel free to sing along.

25. Try yourself as a volunteer

Dave Bezaire & Susi Havens-Bezaire/Flickr.com

There is so little kindness in the world, but you always have a chance to bring something bright into it.

Most of our acquaintances and friends are school and college comrades, work colleagues, people who live in the neighborhood or with whom we rested together, etc.

Few of us dare to make acquaintance with a stranger, even if we liked him. Stop being shy and take action. Libraries, cafes, concerts, museums, even the line at the supermarket - there are so many places in the world where you can find a true friend or even your soul mate, so don't miss your chance. :)

27. Buy a cup of coffee for a stranger

The next time you visit a coffee shop, buy two cups of coffee, keep one for yourself, and give the other to a stranger. At a minimum, you will find yourself a company and will not drink coffee alone. :)

28. Walk/dance barefoot in the rain

We all know: before you go out, you need to get dressed and put on shoes, and if it rains, take an umbrella with you.

Of course, an umbrella is a good thing, it helps us not to get wet and not to fall down with a cold. But at least once in your life, break the “umbrella and shoe rule”: run out into the street in the rain barefoot and dance! This is an incredible feeling, you can return to a carefree childhood again for a while. And, of course, it's good if you take a couple of friends or a loved one with you to the dance.

29. Run barefoot on the sand

Another small event that can bring us back to childhood and give us a boost of vivacity and good mood.

30. Meet the dawn and see the sunset

Coleman Sheehy Jr/Flickr.com

Sunrises and sunsets are one of the most beautiful gifts of nature.

People applaud the fireworks, but not the sunrise.

Do not forget that the beautiful is next to us every day.

31. See the northern lights

People come from all over the world to enjoy this beautiful sight. You can see the northern lights in Norway, Iceland, Scotland, Finland, Canada and more.

32. Witness a solar eclipse

Another natural wonder worth seeing.

33. See the starfall

davejdoe/Flickr.com

…and make a wish that will surely come true. :) This is a favorite dream of all romantics, but even if you are not one, you still cannot remain indifferent to such a magnificent sight.

34. Plant a tree and watch it grow

Do you know that there are old-timers on our planet that are several thousand years old? And all these trees were once planted by people.

Plant your tree and watch it grow. On average, it takes a tree 10 to 20 years to grow.

35. Get a pet

This will help you become more responsible and caring, and a devoted friend will always be waiting for you at home.

36. Publish your book

Eri Crapulence/Flickr.com

If you have something to say to the world, then create your own work. Who knows, maybe one fine morning you will wake up famous.

37. Give a speech in front of 1,000 (or more) people

net_efekt/Flicker.com

Public speaking is one of the biggest fears of many people.

But when you learn to hold yourself and get a taste, you will realize that performing in front of people is very exciting.

38. Throw a Mega Party

Moyan Brenn/Flickr.com

At least once in a lifetime, everyone should arrange such an event. Invite your friends and acquaintances, as well as friends of your friends and acquaintances of your acquaintances.

Remember that we arrange holidays for ourselves. Even if it's far from your birthday or other significant event, you can have a party without a reason. :)

39. Dramatically change your image

keelytyler/Flickr.com

We all need change from time to time. If you feel that now is such a time, then change your hair, update your wardrobe, sign up for a gym. The main thing - do not be afraid to experiment, try something new.

40. Taste different types of wine

One of the noblest drinks is worth trying.

41. Sign up for an etiquette course

Amanda King/Flickr.com

In our time, it is very important to be polite and be able to behave in society. You don't have to be a celebrity or high society member to enroll in etiquette classes.

First of all, pay attention to those courses in the program of which there is business etiquette.

42. Help someone find their love

Julia/Flickr.com

If among your friends or acquaintances there is a guy and a girl who can’t find their soul mate in any way, then introduce them. Who knows, maybe it's fate?

Of course, everything here depends entirely on who you introduce, but you can also play your small role in this - become a catalyst that will speed up a chemical reaction.

43. Go on a blind date

Many people think that going on blind dates is the prerogative of desperate people. But this is a prejudice. Blind dating is just one of the fun ways to meet a new person, there is nothing shameful or flawed about it.

So if the person you met, for example, through social networks, invites you on a date, then do not rush to refuse.

44. Continue your education

Svein Halvor Halvorsen/Flickr.com

No matter how long ago you graduated from school or university, no matter how old you are now, you need to engage in your education throughout your life.

If you already have a diploma of higher education, then no one bothers you to get a second one. And, of course, do not forget about self-education.

45. Learn to play one of the musical instruments

Lester Guijarro/Flickr.com

Guitar, piano, cello, violin... There are so many beautiful musical instruments in the world, and it's never too late to start playing them.

46. ​​Win the lottery

Heike Brauer/Shutterstock.com

It is not necessary to aim at multi-million dollar sums, because we all know that the chances of winning, although present, are small.

But no one has canceled win-win lotteries. Let you win some trifle, but you will still be pleased.

47. Take up dancing

Vladimir Pustovit/Flickr.com

Dancing is not only fun, but also a great way to keep yourself in good shape. Salsa, for example, helps burn about 200 kilocalories in just 30 minutes, which is the equivalent of running.

48. Learn martial art

Martial arts are a great way to self-defense. In addition, by training, you will learn self-discipline and perseverance, temper your character.

49. Go hitchhiking

A great opportunity to relax without spending money on the road.

50. Try hiking

Feel free, enjoy the beautiful views, be alone with nature. Hiking is an exciting adventure that you can take on yourself.

51. Go on a spontaneous journey

Instead of buying an all-inclusive package with a predictable itinerary, pull out a map of the world, poke (without looking, of course) anywhere, and go there. :)

52. Swim with dolphins

If you are looking for experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime, then be sure to swim with dolphins. It is said that this activity can save a person from depression.

53. Live in another country for at least six months

Of course, it's great to go on vacation to another country. But in a few weeks you will not be able to fully get to know another country and culture, to feel it. Another thing is if you decide to live in this country.

You will be able to see it from the inside, not through the eyes of an enthusiastic tourist who is new to everything, but through the eyes of a resident who can tell not only about local attractions.

54. Play a role in a motion picture

Many of us love to watch films, and many of us at least once in our lives wanted to try ourselves as an actor.

You don't have to aim for Hollywood - pretty much everyone has a camcorder these days, so you can make an amateur movie with your friends.

55. Give an interview to the media

Roland Lausberg/Flickr.com

You will be shown on TV, written about in the newspaper, or you will hear your own voice on the radio. This is nice for anyone! Let the world know about your even small achievements.

56. Knit a scarf

Knit a scarf and give it to a loved one. It will be a gift from the heart, and it is much more valuable than bought in a store.

57. Furnish your dream apartment

We spend half our lives in our homes and apartments, and those who work from home spend two thirds. So why not make your apartment a beautiful and inspiring place that will delight you?

You do not need to be a millionaire, because in order to make your apartment cozy and pleasing to the eye, it is not at all necessary to spend fabulous sums on repairs.

58. Cook dinner for your loved one

Cook your favorite meal for your loved one. Believe me, gourmet dishes from the most expensive restaurants cannot be compared with it.

59. Bake a cake or pie for someone's birthday

Brady Lea/Flickr.com

Of course, it is much easier to go to the store and buy a ready-made cake or pie. But a delicacy prepared by yourself is a gift from the heart.

Even if you have never baked a cake or a pie, do not despair, because there are many recipes on the Internet that will help you with this.

60. Being alone with nature

We live in the concrete jungle, called megacities, and so rarely get out into nature. Fix it! Go hiking, see a waterfall, camp in some wilds... Feel the nature!

61. Play snowballs

Kevin Frost/Flickr.com

We all loved this business very much in childhood, but who said that we should leave an exciting game as adults? Wait for the snow and act. :)

62. Take pictures of the same place at different times of the year

It's fascinating: you can watch how nature falls asleep and wakes up again. And who knows, maybe a great photographer is quietly dozing in you?

63. Read a book from an unexpected area

As a rule, we read only those books that are interesting to us. But at least once make an exception to this rule and read a book that is outside of your circle of interests. For example, if you are a programmer, then read a book on knitting, and if you are an accountant, read a book on journalism.

According to The Medici Effect, innovative ideas come to us when we step out of our familiar domain and look around.

64. Provide support to sick or old people

Ed Yourdon/Flickr.com

We are not magicians and cannot heal a sick person, but we can surround him with care and attention, take care of him, just be there and support him.

In this way, you will not only help sick people - you will appreciate your own life more and, perhaps, look at the world in a completely different way.

65. Fly a kite

This simple and enjoyable activity will allow you to have a great time with loved ones and give positive emotions for the whole day.

66. Sleep on the grass

Sleeping outdoors is a good way to relax your body and soul, get closer to nature. Before you decide to take this event, you should:

• take a rug and pillow with you;
• choose a safe place (without snakes and wild animals);
• bring mosquito spray and sunscreen.

67. Thank a company for a quality product or service

Many of us complain when we encounter poor service or purchase a poor quality product. But think about it, how often do we thank companies for a job well done?

With your "thank you" you can please your employees, inspire them to create something even more wonderful. Write an email, make a phone call or express your gratitude in person - it only takes you 5 minutes.

68. Try to become a vegetarian for 21 days

Marji Beach/Flickr.com

By the way, if you are planning to lose weight, then a vegetarian diet is considered one of the most effective. Try to become a vegetarian for at least 21 days, make a bet with yourself. Can you handle it? :)

69. Hug mom as often as possible

abigail morellon/Flickr.com

No comments. You already know how important this is.

70. Cook your favorite dish yourself

We all have our favorite food. Perhaps it was prepared for you as a child or you tried it in some restaurant. At least once in your life you should cook it yourself.

71. Make 1,000 paper cranes and give them to people

Give kindness and good mood, because doing it is so simple and important.

72. Conquer your biggest fear

Seth Oliver Photographic Art/Flickr.com

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, the reckless, faceless, unjustified horror that paralyzes the necessary efforts to turn the retreat into an offensive.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

We all have fears and even phobias. Someone is afraid of heights, someone is afraid of spiders, someone is horrified by the sight of blood, fear of failure, fear of being rejected, stage fright.

Of course, there are fears that protect us from danger, but most fears are irrational. The good news: fears can be overcome, subjugated them. Manage your fears, don't be led by them.

73. Share your to-do list with at least 10 people and invite them to create one.

αmєrιcαnԍιrlσ77/Flickr.com

This way you can learn about the goals and dreams of your loved ones, or maybe there are similar items on your lists that you can accomplish together.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi

Tell the world what you want to do. Today, in the age of the boom of social networks, it is quite easy to do this, plus you can quickly find like-minded people.

77. See the cherry blossoms in Japan

www.phtg_knsei/Flickr.com

In Japan, there is such a tradition - to admire the flowers (in Japanese, "hanami"). Watching cherry blossoms is an incredibly beautiful sight that simply cannot be described in words, so it is worth watching it yourself.

78. Forgive people who once hurt you.

To forgive is to release the "prisoner" and discover that you were the "prisoner".

Do not carry resentment in your heart, forgive those people who once hurt you. In the end, harboring resentment, anger and a desire for revenge, you only torture yourself.

79. Let go of everything that makes you unhappy

Children's insults. Past relationships that we still can't forget. Insults thrown at us in the heat of a quarrel.

Each of us has a past, and no one can change it. But we can control our thoughts and not remember the negative again and again.

If you've seen a bad movie, you probably won't ever watch it again. So why do you keep thinking about what makes you unhappy?

80. Organize a picnic for yourself and friends

Instead of spending the weekend again in some mall, eating fast food and watching another stupid comedy, go on a picnic with friends, breathe fresh air, enjoy nature and delicious and healthy food.

81. Do something funny and stupid

I understand what your trouble is: you are too serious. A smart face is not yet a sign of intelligence, gentlemen. All the stupid things on earth are done with this facial expression. Smile, gentlemen. Smile!
From the movie "The same Munchausen"

Our daily life can be quite boring and monotonous. You wake up at the same time, wash your face, drink coffee, go to work along a long-studied route ...

Liven up your day! Start a conversation with a stranger, arrange a surprise for your colleagues and smile-smile-smile!

82. Fly first class (at least once)

Yes, it's expensive. Sometimes it's even damn expensive. But sometimes it's worth pampering yourself.

83. Win at darts

And to win, you have to practice well. Of course, this will not change your life, but you will rest and have a good time.

84. See an erupting volcano

There are about 6,000 volcanoes in the world. Three quarters of volcanoes are underwater, 1,500 are on land. About 50 of them erupt every year.

Only the brave will be able to decide on such an adventure, but they should not forget about safety precautions.

85. Fly in a helicopter

Soaring above the ground enjoying magnificent views is a tempting prospect, isn't it? And if you are a romantic, you can fly with your soulmate - both of you will remember this day for a long time.

86. Meet the one you always dreamed of meeting

The author of your favorite book, the artist you admire... We often think we'll never be able to meet them in person, but they're also ordinary people who walk the streets, go to events, and even sometimes (well, it's a big secret) go to underground.

87. Tell your family members that you love them as often as possible.

Family is your closest people. Very often we do not take the time to express our love to them, and this should be corrected as soon as possible.

88. Ride a rollercoaster

Many people think that life is like a rollercoaster: it also has its ups and downs. To try such a “life in life” and experience completely new sensations is something that every person should try.

89. Go on a cruise

And you won’t be bored on board at all, because there are so many surprises, entertainment and new acquaintances waiting for you.

Falling in love is half the battle, it is much more difficult to build a strong relationship in which both people are comrades-in-arms and support each other in everything. But if you still manage to do this, then you can be called a happy person.

And, of course, you should leave someone behind.

93. Organize a romantic getaway for your significant other

A romantic date is too easy and anyone can do it. But to organize a whole romantic vacation ...

You may have already had a honeymoon, but why not repeat it?

96. Change the world

The beach will be clean if each person cleans up their garbage. Heroes don't change the world. Remember that each person can make his own, albeit small, contribution that will make the world a little better.

97. Help someone in need

There is always someone who is worse off than you. And you can always help him.

98. Learn Sign Language

Very useful if you want to better understand people.

And to be photographed against its background, of course.

100. Attend a costume party

A great way to transform into a hero or heroine of a fairy tale loved since childhood, for example. Feeling like a witch or a princess, a robber or a knight - it must be very funny, right?

And rejoice, despite everything that this crazy world can bring us. :)

What would you like to add to your to-do list? Share in the comments.

Many of us understand only over the years how important it is to learn in time to accept our imperfections and love loved ones, to choose what makes us happy, to fight for what seems to be the main thing, and to enjoy life - simply because she is alone and repeat it "cleanly". " will not work. No more waiting for the "right time", let's act! Read our list of things to do and add your ideas to it.

1. Realize a dream.

Do you dream of learning to play the violin or pilot planes, but you keep telling yourself not to waste precious time on "nonsense"? With age, desires do not disappear anywhere, and time will just be lost. Let dreams come true! 20 ways to make dreams come true.

2. Travel.

At the age of 70, you are unlikely to go as a savage to Vietnam or by car across Europe, such trips are for the young. So, do not put them off for a long time: a standard tour to Prague can wait.

3. Learn to take care of yourself.

The sooner you start taking care of yourself, the longer your youth will last. And the point here is not at all in wrinkles, but in the general condition of the body, which will be grateful to you for regular and timely care. Look for "your" creams, "your" sports and "your" diet. 10 most popular diets: pros and cons.

4. Accept yourself.

Wise people say that happiness is character and nothing else. Of course, you, like everyone else, have flaws, but nature has not deprived you of virtues either. Accept yourself completely: love both your nose and your propensity for unreasonable spending. Endless self-reflection simply robs your life of joy, freedom and harmony.

5. Participate in a charity event.

Participation in social projects perfectly expands our horizons and makes our life full. The younger you are, the more benefits you can bring! Another "side effect": in the future you will feel needed, and this is necessary for all older people without exception. 5 surprisingly simple ways to prolong your life.

6. Stop looking at the opinions of others.

The question "What will people think of me?" froze many wonderful undertakings and crippled more than one fate. What difference does it make what grandmothers at the entrance, sellers in the store or neighbors will think of you? The opinions of strangers should not have an impact on your life, otherwise in adulthood you yourself will turn into a grumpy and always dissatisfied old woman.

7. Learn a foreign language.

This, of course, is not the most interesting item on our list, but one of the most useful. The older you get, the worse your memory is and the more difficult foreign languages ​​will be given to you, and in our time, you yourself understand, you cannot do without them.

8. Pass on the rights.

Of course, you can learn to drive a car in retirement, but the younger you are, the sharper your reactions and the higher your learning ability. Even if you don’t have a car yet, you definitely won’t need a license: after all, when you travel abroad, you can always rent a car and drive around the country!

9. Deal with fears.

Everyone has fears, and this is normal - this is how the instinct of self-preservation works. But not all fears are equally useful, and some are simply harmful! If you're usually afraid to take on a new job and constantly worry that you'll be the "worst of all", then it's time to get some courage. Yes, sometimes this requires serious work on yourself and, perhaps, even the help of a psychologist, but you will have time to become a truly courageous and decisive person before fears have time to spoil your life.

10. Sign up for dancing.

It doesn’t really matter what kind of dances - waltz, flamenco, belly dance or tango - all these activities help a woman move with special grace, “keep her back” and enjoy success with men until old age. Even if you don’t have a very good sense of rhythm, it’s worth a try: dancing develops all muscle groups, forms an excellent posture and, which is also important, teaches us to proudly and confidently look men in the eyes!

Love your parents and arrange a photo shoot

11. Love your parents.

Offended by parents? It’s pointless to get angry and sort things out: you won’t have other relatives anyway, which means you need to accept and love these. By the way, this will improve your relationship with your own children.

12. Schedule a photo session.

It will be nice to tell your grandchildren how good you were in your youth, but it is better to stock up on documentary evidence. Let them know how beautiful their grandmother was! Although why "was" - she is still a beauty.

13. Throw a party with your girlfriends.

There is nothing more fun and sparkling than a bachelorette party. But the older you get, the more difficult it is for each of you to find time for such events. Years will pass, and you will miss these cheerful and carefree meetings very much. You can and should try to keep the tradition of regularly spending time with female staff until old age, but you should start now: go to a cafe, rent a limousine, go together for a couple of days to a rest home or arrange a spa weekend for yourself.

14. Learn to forgive yourself.

Yes, sometimes you make mistakes. Everyone makes them, but our own mistakes seem like a catastrophe to us. But more often than not, nothing irreparable happens! Forgive yourself for everything at once, here and now, tomorrow and in three years. A constant feeling of guilt is not constructive, it leads to a swampy depressive swamp. The older you are, the more claims the world around you makes: if you do not learn "self-forgiveness" in your youth, you will never do it.

15. Accept your age.

The “age of happiness” is not necessarily a carefree youth, it can be any period of our life. And the sooner you realize this, the happier and freer life will be.

16. Make the renovation of your dreams.

Yes, perhaps, until you have enough money to realize all your design ideas. But do not wait - act: save, but break and build new walls, draw fancy sketches and embody them. In adulthood, you are unlikely to decide on such an adventure.

17. Appreciate your "assets".

Usually we remember (and grieve) better about what we do not have, what we have not achieved. Let's do the opposite: are you happily married? Do you have two daughters and a dog? Are you good at knitting? Have you visited ten countries? That's fine!

18. Save money.

The sooner you learn how to properly plan your budget, the higher the chances that you will have a bright and eventful life and you will not be financially dependent on anyone. Top 9 financial mistakes women make

19. Collect memories.

Carefully collect the archive of your own life. Do not be lazy to arrange photos into albums and sign them - after all, this is a visual embodiment of the past. Then, together with your husband, you will be happy to leaf through them, and it will immediately become clear: everything that happened to you was not in vain. Isn't this a condition for a happy and harmonious old age?

20. Decide to experiment with appearance.

If you want to dye your hair blonde or just cut off your long hair, try unusual makeup or try on multi-colored lenses, now is the time. The main thing is that the consequences of your experiments are well thought out and reversible. 6 bad hairstyles that make you look old. 10 more important things

21. Plant a garden.

Do you dream of your own greenhouse or a flowering summer cottage, but you can’t afford it yet? Plant roses on the balcony! Don't wait for the right conditions, plant: flowers, strawberries and basil grow well anywhere.

22. Learn to talk about your desires.

According to your timid hints, your husband will never guess that in fact you are dreaming not of a new sofa, but of a trip to Paris, and that you are really tired by the evening, and not being capricious. Do not count on the sensitivity and empathy of others and do not think that modesty and undemanding are your main decorations, clearly and clearly voice your desires and requests.

23. Find "your masters".

Every woman needs her own hairdresser, cosmetologist, gynecologist and dentist - specialists whom you trust unconditionally. The sooner they appear, the easier it will be to solve problems that arise with age: after all, regular “supervision” of a specialist is likely to help prevent various troubles.

24. Build an inner circle.

Family is the most important part of our life, but life without friends would be much more boring. As you age, making friends becomes more difficult, so take care of old friends. Pay attention to them, value communication and be there in difficult times - if necessary, and you will have someone to rely on.

25. Find a job you love.

Work, unfortunately, is far from always being loved, and if it is not yet possible to change it, try to understand what you really want to do. Maybe you dream of interior design, like sewing or making bouquets? Spend as much time as possible on your hobby: go to courses, read books on the topic. Firstly, there is a great chance that someday your favorite business will become a profession, and secondly, you will definitely have something to do in retirement.

26. Learn to say no.

If you want to manage your own life, you must learn to refuse people. You are absolutely not obliged to do what is inconvenient for you, not beneficial, not suitable, or simply do not want to. Saying “no” is difficult only the first few times, but then life becomes much easier and easier, and you feel pride and confidence: after all, you yourself are the mistress of your own destiny.

27. Know your own sexuality.

There are things that can only be done when you are young. Perhaps you have fantasies that you are embarrassed to realize? Leave embarrassment! If you don't decide now, it will never happen. Take action! 12 sex questions every couple should discuss.

28. Learn to forgive.

Accumulated grievances cause early wrinkles and lead to neuroses. But everyone makes mistakes, which means that in order to build harmonious relations with the world, you will have to learn to forgive.

29. Spend a lot of money on the dress of your dreams.

The dilemma - whether or not to buy a desired, but expensive dress (coat, boots, bag) - is relevant for any woman. But not everyone still decides on such a reckless waste. And very in vain! As long as you can afford a share of carelessness, you should use it: it is not known whether such an opportunity will still present itself. In addition, shopping must necessarily bring joy.

30. Spending time with the whole family.

Family dinners with grandmothers and aunts are not the most fun thing in the world. But when we realize that strong family ties are our rear, life becomes easier. Bored at a family holiday? Take over his organization and arrange everything so that everyone has fun and is comfortable with each other. By the way, in 40-50 years, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will also come to visit you. How to learn to communicate with difficult relatives on holidays,.
