Tenets for 30

One of my worse personality quirks is getting way too hype about starting something new only to very quickly burn out because I went all in too fast. I call it a quirk because if I called it a failing I’d get depressed. So in an effort to do this less, I’ve come up with a few guiding principles for how I’d like to approach my 30s. Since my birthday is on the 13th day of March, I came up with 13 tenets.

  1. Pray first
  2. Journal often.
  3. Reward wins.
  4. Pivot when necessary - don’t stay stuck.
  5. Acknowledge effort from yourself and others.
  6. Eyes on my own paper - don’t compare myself to others.
  7. Do one thing at a time - multitasking is a myth.
  8. Share before I’m ready.
  9. Don’t hoard ideas, act on them.
  10. Envision the best case scenario first.
  11. Don’t rush.
  12. Move daily.
  13. Don’t stay discouraged.

My hope is that by having these guardrails up I’m less likely to repeat some of the same cycles of behavior I’m known for. I think it just might work!(See tenet #10).

Talk soon!
