One of the worst things about the negative connotation of turning 30 is that many of us feel pressure to accomplish something. We don’t even care most of the time what that something is. We just feel like our resume should be longer or our awards greater.
The question I have is where does the pressure come from?
Are your parents pressuring your for grandchildren?Or maybe your sister or best friend wants you to be married so you can do couple things together?
Are your single friends pressuring you to not have kids so you can still party with them?
Maybe your boss believes you should be working harder to get promoted?
Or your therapist is concerned about your apathy toward achieving your bliss? Or your personal greatness?
An even better question is,
Are you the person asking all these questions?
If the pressure you are feeling is internal there are plenty of things you can do. Give yourself a break. Set reasonable goals and expectations. Or just lighten up.
When you feel pressure to accomplish (fill in the blank) before turning 30, stop a minute. Ask yourself where the pressure is coming from. Once you know, release the valve and let the pressure go.
