Birthday Reflections Upon Turning 36

Living Your Best Life
Reflections on turning 36 - personal growth

Want the daily routine? Get the free 15-Minute Swing Trader’s Checklist. Get it free →

Every birthday, I like to take a day off to reflect and give thanks for the previous year, and brainstorm what I would like to focus on in the upcoming years. I like to think of it as constant realignment of my priorities in life.

Here are some things I would like to focus on for the next few years:

  • Continue exercising and eating healthy consistently
  • Spend more time on friendships and relationships
  • Read more about psychology, philosophy, mental models
  • Try some new things like cooking, Salsa, art, wine appreciation, etc
  • Travel more (aim for 100 countries before 40)
  • Embrace minimalism, to focus time and attention on things which are important
  • Becoming better at mindfulness, empathy, gratitude, self-esteem, and showing love & kindness
  • Continue to create more educational and inspiring content on my blog and various channels to help others
  • Find new ways/careers/volunteer work that can make a difference in people’s lives

Once again, a big thanks to everyone who has supported me all these years, and to those who have put in the extra effort to make my 36th birthday a memorable one! ?
