7 Things That Can Change Your Mindset, That Will Totally Change Your Life
Alison Miller

One thing that I was always known for is to do the same thing that I was always comfortable with doing, and being hesitant to try different things.

Also, thinking about things in one absolute way, which I found out was not the way that I should be. Of course, you have your own opinions about life, styles, or people, but if you expand the way you think about things, the benefits can be life changing. It opens up your mind to another world of things that you never knew that you could love.

Here are a few ways that you could expand your mind, that could have a great effect on your future.

1. Try a new food or restaurant

One thing that many people are always very particular about is food. My suggestion is to try a place that you never knew that you would like, it could very well become one of your new favorite things, and it expands your knowledge on food.

2. Travel somewhere new

Traveling is a great way to experience new things, people, and educate yourself more thoroughly. Some of my favorite memories are made from traveling to a place that I had never been before.

3. Incorporate fitness and yoga into your routine

Many people say that yoga has a great effect on people by opening their minds.

4. Put down your phone, and engage in reality

Sometimes cell phones can take away attention from reality, but if we take the time to actually observe and engage with people, many great things can come out of it.

5. Talk to someone different than you

If you are always around the same type of people, you tend to not be as mindful of people who are different. You can learn many things from people who have different qualities than you do.

6. Don't stress about the small things

Coming from someone who stresses about literally EVERYTHING, I have found out that it is so much easier to not let things that don't really matter in the long run affect you.

7. Get a good night's rest

Sleep is a necessity to function normally, and getting enough of it can improve your mindset throughout the day. You are bound to get more things accomplished too.

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.
