11 Things To Do When You Feel Like You Have Lost Yourself
Caitlyn Campbell

We all have those moments where we feel like we have lost ourselves once and a while and we need some reminders on how to get back.

1. Go out with friends.

Let's face it. We're all strong and beautiful when we go out with our friends.

2. Write about it.

Writing about how we feel can sometimes relieve the amount of stress we put on ourselves. Write in a journal or write a blog.

3. Do something different.

When we do something different or something that's out of our comfort zones, we tend to become happier for the mere fact that we did something unexpected.

4. Set goals for yourself.

When you set goals and you achieve them, your mind changes from negative to positive thoughts because you finally succeeded and can move forward.

5. Workout more.

There are days where we just don't want to do it. Those are the days that count the most. Workout more. Running frees the mind and helps you get in shape. Two birds, one workout.

6. Get your feelings out.

Talk to somebody! Instead of holding in your feelings, talk to somebody who will listen.

7. Listen to music and dance it out.

" Grey's Anatomy" did it best. Dance it out!

8. Go to the beach.

Sometimes just watching and listening to the waves go back and forth can relax and ease your mind.

9. Buy some new clothes.

Although shopping can get a bit annoying, it is a stress reliever in so many ways. What your mind is constantly on isn't on your mind anymore. Plus, who doesn't like buying new clothes?

10. Accept it.

Accept that you are changing. Accept this is how God made us and accept that we are all human.

11. Learn from it.

Learn from your mistakes. Learn that you will get to the place you want to be. You will love yourself more for going through this phase.

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.
