The 20s...it's the phase where so many things change in our lives and it all happens so fast. There's angst, discovery, unpredictability and a sense of self-realization. It's the time we truly leave childhood behind and enter a whole new world of responsibility.
Love Yourself
Life is short, spend it loving who you are. If there is something you want to change, then put in the work and change it, because loving yourself and believing in yourself is the only way you will achieve everything you want to.
Many teenage girls have a hard time throughout their teenage years, but for many, the worst year can be 14. This is when the troubles of growing up meet the troubles of changes inside their body and combine to make life much more difficult.
It's the time we truly leave childhood behind and enter a whole new world of responsibility. It's also a time that demands quick decisions about careers, relationships, finances and a lot more. We all face an inordinate amount of pressure in our 20s.
One's late twenties and early thirties, from an emotional perspective, are therefore the worst part of life. It's during these years that people experience the most negative thoughts and feelings and experience the most mind wandering, a psychological state that has been shown to be detrimental to well-being.
To feel lost and unsure about what you want to do in your twenties is perfectly normal. Think about it, you just came out of a long education system, one you had been in since young.
Your 20s are when you learn to be an adult.
You'll get a job, make friends, pay bills, take care of yourself, have relationships, and generally gain an understanding of what those previous two decades were trying to teach you about life.
Strength peaks at age 25.
Your muscles are at their strongest when you're 25, although for the next 10 or 15 years they stay almost as hefty - and this is one of the traits that can be most easily improved, thanks to resistance exercise.
Recent brain research indicates that birth to age three are the most important years in a child's development.
A current research revealed that at the age of 34, the average woman should be having the time of her life. At that age, it revealed 34 as the age when women are at their happiest as they tick off some of life's most important boxes, like settling down, establishing a career and buying a home.
Whew — 28 is the best year of your twenties. Not because of the spectacular partying (see: 22) or because you'll magically have everything figured out (see: never), but because 28 is the year when you're finally able to accept that no one actually "feels" like a grown-up and it's OK that you don't either.
As well as getting to know yourself, remaining single in your twenties means you have time to work on the other relationships and connections in your life. This is the time to solidify your friendship network.
During your early 20s, skin is experiencing its first major transformations. This is the golden age for your skin's health and appearance because collagen production is thriving — AKA why your face looks so glossy and bouncy all the time.
By age 25, the remodel comes to an end and brain development stalls. But, once again, it comes with a few positive side effects: By quarter-life, most of us have figured out how to control our impulses, plan and prioritize well, and organize our lives in a way that gets us to our end goals. We have, in short, grown up.
22 is that age where, all of a sudden, we find ourselves to be starting all over again, without a do-over chance. Life struggles get too real and we end up being on the edge of most things – career, job, love, family, and friendships. Future becomes present, and present turns into a turmoil.
You have to let it be. I know your 20s is a confusing and painful time. You always feel like you could do so much more but you're just seemingly wasting your time, getting nowhere. It's okay.
A YouGov poll of more than 13,000 Americans finds that 24% do believe that your 20s represent the best years of their lives, but a roughly equal amount (23%) believe that the 30s are actually the best years. Perhaps unsurprisingly, people's thoughts on the best years shift by age.
But wrinkles and other signs of aging can start to appear even in your 20s. That's because the skin damage often begins in childhood and continues through the years. Even when you're young, you can start to ward off signs of aging with a skin care regimen that nourishes the skin – and by doing proper preventive care.
