We often get so caught up in our calendars, schedules, and lists. Checking off one thing can feel like such an accomplishment, and it should! We work very hard, just remember to pay attention to the little things, because they really are what get you through to that next day!

1. You are beautiful!

Everyone is totally unique! No one has your combination of stunning eyes, that killer smile, and supreme fashion. OWN IT.

2. You are exactly where you need to be.

3. Stress is only temporary.

Ask yourself if this will matter in five years. If not, let it roll off your back.

4. Everyone has "those days."

BUT, we've made it through more difficult ones, right?

5. No one deserves better than you!

You are the most important you. Treat yourself like it.

6. Everything takes time, don't rush.

Trust things to work themselves out. You do not always need to be in control.

7. The best things happen when you least expect it.

My mom always tells me this and it is strangely true! Our best gifts are delivered via surprise and at the most unlikely times possible.

8. Pay yourself first.

It is so important to give yourself rewards after completing goals. Whether you finished a paper, won a game, or received your paycheck make sure you congratulate yourself on the hard work you put in!

9. Eat Breakfast!

What were you thinking by skipping the most important meal of the day? Eating in the morning not only revs up your metabolism, but gives your brain the kickstart it needs to carry your smart cookie self throughout the day.

10. Carpe Diem!

If not now, then when?? Stop procrastinating! Today is all for you! Show the day who's boss.

11. You are your own friend.

I keep reminding myself that I am my own friend too! If I wouldn't be this hard on my friend, why is it acceptable to do it to myself?

12. Indulge.

Spend a few more minutes in bed, add another scoop to your ice cream cone, watch another episode on Netflix. Whatever it is, don't say "no" to yourself for once.

13. Spend some time outside.

Being in touch with nature creates a more peaceful vibe and allows us to be more mindful. Whether you get outside to walk the dog, go for a run, or even get the mail, embrace the fresh air!

14. Appreciate the little things!

We all know how exciting it is when our favorite song comes on the radio and a teacher doesn't assign homework.

15. Say that one thing you've been holding back.

"I love you." "I'm sorry." and "What happened?" are all short sentences that can be game changers. Give it a shot!

16. Drink Water.

This is SO important. Water boosts energy, helps your skin, rids toxins, and reduces the risk of cancer! There are literally 0 negatives.

17. Do something for someone else!

This doesn't have to be anything big. Paying someone's toll, buying the person's coffee behind you, or even giving a wave can make someone's day. Plus, its contagious. Pay. It. Forward.

18. LOVE YOURSELF.

You are the only person you will forever live with, so why not make it a wonderful experience? Plus, Justin Bieber agrees with me.
