We all want to ensure we live a healthy and happy life each day. But it is undeniably easier said than done. With summer approaching at a fast pace it is time to put our lives into perspective. Start each day remembering these trivial ideas that will indeed influence your life to improve and be the best version of you. Disregard the negative and think positive whenever something "not so great" happens in your life. With these easy tips to live by you will be jumping with joy whenever you start a new day. The possibilities are endless on what you can conquer in just 24 hours, 7 days a week.

1. Get more sleep

Go to bed early and sleep in late at least one day a week. This will not only boost your energy but it will also help you prevent getting any sicknesses. After all, a good night rest can cure almost anything.

2. Drink more water

Carry a canteen around with you every day to remind yourself to be constantly drinking water and staying hydrated. By drinking water you will flush out all the unwanted toxins and again, have more energy to do the things you love.

3. Get more exercise

Go for a run outside and experience nature while improving your health. Running anywhere can help your mind set and solve your problems.

4. Read more

Experience different stories told by reading new authors. Get a new perspective on others while reading their own stories. For awhile you can stop thinking about our own busy life and get caught up in someone else's.

5. Get more organized

Plan your day and create "to do" lists so that you ensure everything gets done within your day and you do not forget anything important. You don't realize how much you do each day until you write it down.

6. Clean more often

Keep your surroundings equivalent to your lifestyle, in line and neat.

7. Explore more

Step outside of your comfort zone and experience new things that will expand your horizons on life.

8. Relax more

Have you time and reflect daily to be sure you are satisfied with the lifestyle you live.

9. Have more patience

Understand others and keep in mind that good things take time.

10. Be happy

Smile and go change the world with your own happiness.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
