7 big doubts that are very normal when you are over 30

By

Don't you know what you want in life anymore? Are you also at that familiar crossroads of doubts and worrying and hassle in your head? And that after your thirties? You're not alone. Because there are plenty of doubts that are very normal when you're over thirty.

And we all recognize that.

1. Because how do you know if this is what you want to do in life? I think the biggest doubt that most thirty-somethings have. The career. You studied for years, you learned and worked. Your first jobs are behind you, but what now? Is what you are doing now exactly what you always dreamed of as a young girl? Difficult. But very normal.

2. Do you want (more) children? Does anyone ever know for sure if they are ready for life with children? And if you already have children, how do you know if you want more? When are you done having kids, how does it feel when you are complete? I think no one can answer this for you.

3. What do you enjoy doing the most? Are you not interested in new hobbies? Experiencing other things? Traveling? Why don’t you do it, or do it too little? What holds you back? Doubts that come with it.

4. Have you saved too little, perhaps? Always a concern. Money. How much savings is a little okay? How much can you afford when you change jobs or maybe start your own business?

5. Also always what everyone thinks about: is this the moment to start something for myself? Or not? Can I now kickstart that own business or is this not my time yet? When will it be? It has to happen now, right?

6. Is that friendship still worth it? Or does it cost me more energy than it gives me? Difficult. Sometimes it’s better to let go.

7. Is my relationship still hot and spicy, or boring and dull? Is this the one? Are we going to make it through these tough years?
