10 Ways To Turn That Frown Upside Down

Have you ever known a person that is constantly negative? They complain and nag all the time and it really brings you down. I believe in a positive attitude no matter how tough times get. Not only will it start your day off for success, but it prevents you from bringing others down. Be a light in someones life: here's how!

1. Start each day with music.

Not just any music. Something uplifting, positive and something that makes you want to dance around in your room. When you start your day off with happy music, it should set the tone for the rest of your day. Making this a daily routine can really lead to positivity.

2. Eat healthy food.

Yes, we all know how important it is for us to eat our veggies. There are definitely times when we deserve a little junk food, but for the most part, we should be treating our bodies like the holy temples that they are. We all struggle with eating what we should, so it is something we can always get better at.

3. Travel to new places.

This can make you happy even if you do it alone. Now, for your safety and your company, traveling with someone else might be fun, too. You can travel down the road to that new diner you've been wanting to try, or an hour away to a city you've never been to. If you're feeling super adventurous, head across the country and visit England, Spain, Luxembourg, or Italy. Anywhere new has something to appreciate.

4. Find supportive friends.

Finding friends that you can count on is one of the healthiest things you can do for your life. Find people that come to your door at 2 a.m. when you're struggling with a break up. Find people that will stand by you in your wedding. It can really make a difference.

5. Stay away from negative people.

Along with finding the supportive people, it's important that you cut out the negative ones. People that are constantly bringing you down or bringing more drama into your life than necessary are people that you do not need. Leave them in the past.

6. Do good for others.

The best way to make yourself feel better is by helping other people feel better. Go play with dogs at your local animal shelter or volunteer at a soup kitchen. The feelings you get from helping others will put you in a positive mindset for days and weeks to come.

7. Exercise often.

Exercising produces endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Why would you not want to transform your body while putting yourself in a great mood?

8. Try new things.

Never be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. It keeps you out of being in a routine all the time. Plus, you never know what you'll end up loving! Whether it's food, a new store, or a different brand of something, there are always new opportunities to branch out!

9. Keep a good relationship with family.

Family is forever. Talk to them often. Keep in touch as much as possible. Life is short, and you'd never want to regret not having a good relationship.

10. Be the best you!

Whatever you do to keep your mind full of optimism, make sure you do it your own way. The more you try to keep a good attitude, the happier you can be. Be the best version of you!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
