9 Ways to Be Happy!

1. Smile. That’s right, smiling. Right when you wake up give your best, teeth-showing smile to the world. This may sound silly but it really helps you start the day off right and happier!

2. Do sit-ups. This also may sound silly but this will help wake you up (better than coffee!) and will help get yourself moving for the day, not to mention those killer abs that will appear. But on a serious note doing this will release a chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins if you don’t know help trigger a positive feeling in your body which in return makes you happy!

3. Drink something! After waking up drink something and drink at least oz of it. Try to make it water or orange juice but coffee and tea works too!

4. Look in the mirror. Give yourself a look in the mirror and give yourself a compliment. Tell yourself you look like the top shit for the day, smile in the mirror and compliment your smile, or turn around and look at your ass. You are a wonderful, unique, and beautiful person and you deserve the compliments so why not start off giving yourself one!

5. Eat! Even if you are one of those people who don’t like eating in the morning, just do it! Try the smallest grape on the vine if you need to but get something in your stomach! You won’t regret it. This will give you energy for the day and energy relates to positivity!


6. Brush your teeth. This also may sound silly to some but brushing your teeth will give you a confidence boost while talking to others. You know you have fresh breath which in turn makes you more confident and more likely to want to talk to others.

7. Send a Good Morning text. No significant other? No problem! Send a good morning text to you best friend, parent, sibling, or even your grandma! Tell them that they mean the world to you, that you appreciate them and that they are the awesomest of the awesome! That’s right that will make you a happier person by spreading positivity and making others feel happy that they were on your mind when you woke up this morning!


8. Think Positive. We have all heard the saying positive attitude, positive outcome! Well they aren’t wrong. Think positive, even in the worst of situations think of the good because that is what will make you are happier person in the long run.

9. Spread the Love. Give people compliments on the street. Tell people to have a great day. Thank people for their hard work. Let people know that you appreciate them. All of these things are important. This is spreading love it doesn’t take much, it is the simple things that people will remember. It is helping your neighbor, giving the person your time and truly caring. This is going to make you happy because you will feel the love as you spread it.

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.
