"Yesterday, I hit the big 4-0. I’m not upset about aging, but I also don’t have all the answers. I’m just figuring things out as I go, and so far, it’s working out pretty well. I’ve learned a few things along the way that have helped me transition from a party-loving 30-year-old to a content 40-year-old. Here are 20 lessons that have changed my life:
- Daily Stack: Take your daily vitamins and drink at least 2 liters of water. It’s a simple habit that can make a big difference.
- Protein: Make sure you’re getting enough protein. If you’re a vegetarian like me, you might need to supplement.

- Exercise: Don’t go three days without real exercise. A leisurely walk doesn’t count.
- Fitness Over Muscles: Big muscles don’t necessarily mean you’re fit or healthy. Cardio is just as important.
- Set Goals: Write down your goals and work towards them.
