List Of 17 Signs That You Are Growing Wiser:

#1 You Feel At Peace With The World

Many people want peace; however, they don’t realize the only place to truly find it is within. If you feel peaceful most days of your life, you have discovered one of the most hidden truths in the universe.

You cannot live a happy life without finding inner peace, and that elusive feeling serves as one of the most telling signs of being wiser.

#2 You Aren’t Running From Your Problems

Even if you used to take off running or just hide how you felt, you are now facing these things head-on. You are taking the time to understand why you feel the way you do.

You are talking through it. You are learning to respect your feelings and yourself.

#3 You Own Your Sexuality

Part of loving your body and being wiser is owning your sexuality and having fun with it, no matter what that looks like.

Whether with other people, yourself, or simply through your manner of being, exploring sexuality in a playful and safe way allows you to feel like all parts of your body are welcome.

#4 You Live In The Moment

It is not about seeking to get stuck in a particular place or making plans for retirement. You live in the moment. You are in the present and not in the future or past.

Note – living in the moment is focusing your attention on what is happening right now. Cultivating a nonjudgmental awareness of the present bestows a host of benefits.

#5 You Believe In Yourself

Believing in yourself is one of the most balancing feelings in the world. When you believe in yourself, there is a sense of desire, ability, peace, confidence, and momentum. It is amazing. It is encouraging.

#6 You Pause

#7 You’ve Stopped Apologizing For Things You Aren’t Sorry For

You don’t feel guilt or shame when it comes to the choices you make since they are your choices, and it is your life. You have finally started living your life according to your standards, not others’ expectations.

#8 You Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff

Just spilled your coffee? Missed the train? It doesn’t matter. If not obsessing over minor annoyances and focusing on what’s important are some of your priorities, it may be a sign that you’re becoming wiser.

Many studies have concluded that people who swap focusing on the small, everyday negatives for emphasis on brief, joyful moments tend to be happier overall.

Happy and wise people agree that there are peaks and valleys in life, but by focusing on what goes right and correct instead of what goes wrong, you set yourself up for higher resilience and longer-term contentment when dealing with negative events.

#9 You Don’t Complain Much

Because you know there really is nothing to complain about.

Unless you really had unimaginable losses and have gone through some horrific life experience, most of what we all experience on a day-to-day basis is just mundane.

And wise people know that. And they live in a space of gratitude.

#10 You Spend Time In Nature

Most people don’t realize how much happiness nature brings, whether it’s the twilight that gives way to darkness 0r the sunset which gives you the endearing hope of rising again; the early morning when the dewdrops glisten in the rays of sunlight, or the rainy season and the droopy leaves.

Nature is symbolic of life and takes away all the worries and tensions which we have in this world for a while.
