Do you think when you get to be in your 30's it would be a good timebto re-examine your life?

[sage2021]

When I was 37 I did that. I took a year off from dating and all that goes with it 🙄 and started reading self-help books to get some ideas from. I did this for about two years. I also listened to positive affirmations while driving in the car on my way to work.

The people I worked with were amazed at the new, transformed me. I would leave my little positive affirmation books on my desk when I went to lunch, knowing all along they would look inside of them to find out what was changing me in such a positive way.
Before I knew it, each person in my department started opening up to me about things that happened in their childhood that they needed to work on.

My son and I were raking leaves one day and he popped up and said "Mom, your sense of humor has changed - I like it"!

A re-examined life can be a good thing. 🙂

Absolutely. I've changed a lot from when I was 22. My views are way more traditional and if I am going to bring kids into the world, I want them to have similar values and morals. I want them to grow up in a world that is safe and secure which is hard to do when you don't have much money but me and my boyfriend are working on it. I didn't think about the big picture ten years ago but I now look towards the future in a different way than when I was younger. I started to reexamine my life once I turned 30 and realized that I wanted the traditional family lifestyle and I want to raise my kids in the best way possible.

You sound happy and you know what you want for your life now.

I turned 30 and what I found out is that I have grown wiser and look at life differently than I did I'm my 20's. I've also had less energy than when I was in my 20's, the minute I turned 30 my knees, back and jaw started hurting. I am re-examining my life as I write this, it's a constant struggle everyday.

I am excited for you that you are talking this time in your life to deliberately re-examine your life. It takes time and courage, but it is well worth it in the end.
Now, I am concerned about your health. It makes me wonder if you took the COVID vaccines? Because that seems to be a complaint I hear quite a bit from people who were vaccinated. Especially having fatigue. Of course you may have all of these symptoms from the shots because you said you got all of your symptoms all at once and at the same time. I don't believe it's because you turned 30.
If you didn't get the vaccines, then something else must be going on with your health.
I know, a silly question but I will ask anyway. Have you been throughly checked out by a good doctor? I say that because if you don't see a good doctor, they'll just say you are fine.
I have terrible fatigue myself.
As far as your jaw hurting, you might want to Google TMJ and see if those symptoms match what you are feeling.

The knees and back could be from inflammation in your body. If you take Ibuprofen, does it help your symptoms?

I hope you get to feeling better. I care a lot about people, but for some reason I would like for us to PM (private message) each other here if that's ok with you?
If you follow me and I follow you we should be able to do that.

When you're nearly constantly alone, you do a LOT of thinking about your life so, you don't really NEED to take a year off to get your shit together. You've got nearly nearly all the time in the world to do that! Whether you want it or not!

I do it every day...

I'm very retrospective person... so I'm doing such re-examing once in a while... but in general I'm happy as it is.

The biggest re-examing of my life happened, when I was 20 years old and since then I walk my own path...

I changed careers in my 30s. I went back to college and got a Masters Degree in Computer Science and never looked back.

I've already done that at 29 30. I'm 30 now. I quit the dating scene. I'm finding life very bliss 😄💝

Not really, but my life did change in my early 30s when I got married and started a family
