30 Resolutions for When You Turn 30

Milestone birthdays often come with a lot of societal pressure. You see your batchmates or even your juniors get married before you, post their pregnancy or first child’s photos. And you naturally begin to think whether you’re on the right track in life. Thoughts of whether you have accomplished as much or at least equivalent to what your peers have before you hit a certain milestone birthday can begin haunting you. Ironically, those of us born in 1990 have had or are yet to have a major milestone birthday this year. So, while growth is a continuous process, and it’s natural to wonder where you are in life, here are thirty resolutions you may consider taking for when you turn THIRTY!

1. Be more self-aware.
