Take online courses and learn a new skill
Just because you completed your schooling or got your degree, doesn’t mean the learning has to end.
There are thousands of courses, free and paid, out there on about every topic you can think of! Maybe you always wanted to learn how to code. Find an online course somewhere online and take the course! Who knows, maybe the new skill you learned will change into a career change.

Books give you the opportunity to learn new things. Same goes along with blogs. There are thousands of blogs out there you can read and learn new skills.
Create multiple streams of income
In today’s world, everything is filled with uncertainty, including your job. That is why I believe it is very import to create multiple income streams for yourself. That way if anything happens, you have something else to fall back on. Having this financial cushion is an investment for yourself.
Side hustles are a great way to have multiple streams of income. Here is my list of 44 side hustles you can start today!
Travel
The world is one big classroom. There is so much to learn out there! You can learn so much about yourself when you travel and experience different cultures and different ways of living.
Not only do you learn so much, it’s so important to wind down and have moments in life of relaxation on a vacation. Burnout is real, make sure you are taking advantage of your time off and use it wisely! Traveling is one of my favorite ways to invest in yourself!
Journaling
Journaling allows you to reflect on your day or your life and mentally let out anything you are struggling with or what you are grateful for. Journaling can help reduce the risk of anxiety, stress and depression.
Daily routines
Creating a daily routine is so important. It keeps you on track with your daily tasks. Have a set list of things you do each morning and night. Here are my favorite night routine ideas.
Set short-term and long-term goals
Write down a list of all your goals for short-term and long-term. These goals can involve career, finance, personal, whatever you want to achieve. It’s important to write them out so you can plan how you are going to achieve them. Whatever you want to achieve is easier done when you have a set plan.
Self care
Taking care of yourself is so incredibly important. Self care means taking care of not only your body but also your mind. Self care is a great way to invest in yourself. Read about some ways to take care of yourself here!
Let go of toxicity in your life
Whatever is toxic in your life whether that is people, toxic lifestyle, toxic work environment- let it go! You can create a healthier, happier life when you remove the toxicity out of your life. Align yourself with people, a lifestyle, and a job that is going to make yourself better.
I loved reading this post! So many wonderful insights that you can directly adopt in your day and in your life.

Great ideas, we would all benefit from them if we would implement even a 1/3 of them. Personally, I am working on building multiple streams of income, and I have already set short and long term goals for myself.
I have been trying to be more proactive with learning new skills. Lately I have spent a lot of time on you tube watching tutorials for different subjects.
