26 Things Guaranteed To Improve Your Day
Anorexic Hipster

Having a hard day? Have a serious case of the Mondays? Feeling that mid-afternoon slump? Needing a mental health day? I have the solution to your problems. If you need a smile today, you've come to the right place. Here are 26 ways to improve your day.

1. Go through this self care checklist and do what it tells you to do.

2. Read this article of inspirational Tumblr quotes.

3. Remind yourself that the sun will always rise again.

4. Organize something- make your bed, put away your clothes. Doing something simple can help you feel productive and like you accomplished something, however small.

5. Make a list of five things you're grateful for.

6. Send a silly Snapchat (or three).


7. Make a list of people in your support system. Reach out to one of them.

8. Have a dance party to your favorite tune. This one always gets me dancing.

Or try this one:

9. If you need to get some anger out: throw balled up socks at the wall.

10. If you need a mental health day, take out. Emotional pain is just as legitimate as physical pain.

11. Repeat a positive affirmation to yourself. Print one out and hang it on your wall. Make it your computer background.

Remind yourself that you're complete all on your own:


12. Have a laugh with one of these funny Harry Potter Tumblr posts.

13. Watch a cute panda video.

Like this one:

Or this one:

14. Do this workout to get out tension and frustration.

15. Read this article full of cuteness.

16. Or if you're in a puppy mood, check out these puppies or these ones.

17. Speaking of puppies, check out this puppy livestream.

Dogs not your thing? Try pandas or kittens.

18. Grab a coloring book and some markers and unleash your inner child!


19. Instead of making a list of things to do, make yourself feel accomplished with a "done" list.

20. Play with a pet!

21. Eat a snack.

22. Put on your favorite, comfiest article of clothing.

23. I guarantee you can't make it through these videos without tearing up at the cuteness.




24. Watch an inspirational Ted talk.

Here are some for your inner child.

Here are some to inspire you when life is dark.

25. Watch these videos to remind yourself that you're not alone.



26. Give someone a hug!


I hope that I brought you a smile today! Tell me in the comments what you do to bring a little joy to your day!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
