10 Things To Remember On Days That Aren't So Great
Health Saints

Hannah Montana was right… everybody has those days. But what matters is how you react to your not so perfect days. Remember these 10 things and I guarantee your day won’t be so bad anymore.

1. Take what went wrong today and use it to make tomorrow right.

This speaks for itself. There is no reason to carry over today’s problems into tomorrow. Everyday is a new day, with new potential, and new light.

2. What you give to the universe, the universe will give back to you.

If you say you’re going to fail, you will fail. If you say you are going to be sad today, you will be sad today. The universe has more power than we think!

3. What happened that cannot be fixed eventually?

Put your bad day into perspective, is it really going to affect your whole life?

4. Count your blessings not your problems.

Cliché but so important; our blessings are not guaranteed and as quickly as our problems came, our blessings can leave even more quickly.

5. Never underestimate the power of people.

Find your support group around you. Call your friends or family to just talk. Get coffee with your roommate or watch a movie together. Remove yourself from what is holding you down and detox with positive people surrounding you.

6. Stay true to you.

If you are not living outyour beliefs and dreams you are no longer on the journey to YOUR happiness.

7. It’s just one thing.

It’s one test, it’s one person, and it’s one mistake. It’s not the end of the world.

8. Learn what works and what doesn’t.

Work out in the morning to set the mood for the day, or at night to release built up negative energy. Stop hanging out with people who only complain or those who put you down. It’s your life.

9. Anger is passion in the wrong direction.

Your emotions are spurring from somewhere, for something. Use them.

10. If you are not confident in yourself, nobody will be confident in you.

How you feel about yourself translates with your attitudes, body language, ideas and values. Don’t let people put you down because you feel down. Love yourself and that will shine through to the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
