Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones." -Louise Delagran

Investing in yourself also means seeing your doctor yearly. As folks in the 20s don't regularly do so. This allows you to listen to your body and make sure you are treating it as well as you can and should.
Although, during your 20's you are allowed to make mistakes and have fun. However, that does not mean you shouldn't pay attention to your health. While these lifestyle changes can be helpful and profound, the best way to get through your twenties is to be kind to yourself and others, make time for the things you love, cherish what you have, and get ready for the future.
