If You Start Noticing The Little Things, Your Mood Will Start To Be Brighter

Stop and smell the roses.

If You Start Noticing The Little Things, Your Mood Will Start To Be Brighter
Victor Freitas

It's the little things that keep me going day in and day out.

The little things that help me push through all that I stress about.

You know what I'm talking about.

The surprisingly nice weather, the free cookie from the Starbucks barista, someone holding open the door for you and giving you a warm smile.

It's the small, seemingly trivial things like that that make my day.

If you learn to notice and appreciate them, your mood will brighten up, no doubt about it.

Even if you're having a miserable day and you failed an exam and you lost your favorite umbrella, try to look for the little things that did go right that day.

Maybe you got to talk to your friends from your hometown or there was no line at the printer when you went to the library.

Maybe you got up early and had the time to eat breakfast for once. Maybe just the sound of the birds chirping in the morning made you realize that spring is actually finally here.

Changing your mindset is a huge part of changing your attitude and improving your motivation. I doubt any of us want to do anything when we're miserable or sad. But the can-do attitude tends to come out when it's sunny out and we've had a great day.

So try to start every day by saying that it is a great day, not that it will be a great day. That way, you'll already be in a much better mood.

Remember to keep the little things in mind! It may be cliché but it really does help to have the mindset to stop and smell the roses.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
