11 Ways You Can Take Care of Yourself in 2017

At the end of every year I come up with a few resolutions that I want to follow. Usually, it includes going to the gym, eating better, all that typical stuff. This year I decided instead of making these resolutions that I stop following by February, I want to take better care of myself in 2017. Here are some of my self-care goals for the upcoming year.

1. Drink more water.

And stop drinking things like soda and iced tea.

2. Go to yoga more.

It's worth it to take about an hour to relax and stretch.

3. Go to bed earlier.

No more randomly staying up until 2am.

4. Learn to cook.

Actually this time.

5. Put my phone down.

Stop caring about what other people are doing on social media.

6. Read more books.

Rather read a book than my Facebook feed.

7. Get more organized.

Although I have a planner, I want to take full advantage of it.

8. Be more positive.

Look on the bright side of things more.

9. See friends more often.

Make more plans and do more things.

10. Spend meaningful time with family.

It's important to create memories with families that last a lifetime.

11. Have me time.

Just sit back, relax and have some mental health time.

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.
