It's OK To Check In On Yourself Too

When's the last time you checked in on yourself?

We go about our days going to class, doing homework, going to meetings, going to our clubs/organizations, etc.

Everything happens so naturally that we barely even think about what we are doing. We do so many things for others, but we don’t take too much time for ourselves on a day to day basis.

There are days where we just need to slow down, sit and reflect.

We think, “I don’t have time to take time for myself.” We are constantly busy with so many other things.

When we get so busy we get stressed out and it can affect our mental health. Sometimes we forget to make sure to check in with ourselves.

Instead of always asking other people “How are you” ask yourself that question.

Nobody knows you better than you. Happiness is having good pleasure, good fortune, and contentment. Always love the people around you, your friends and family, but don’t forget to love yourself.

Loving yourself is very important and can help yourself confidence grow and help you on a day to day basis.

Although you need to appreciate all of the people in your life and you should never give up on someone. You should never give up on yourself as well.

Always be thankful for anyone who enters your life, even if they do you wrong or if they are just in your life for a short period of time. Everyone crosses paths and is put in each other’s lives for a reason.

Don’t spend your time thinking about what other people think of you because it isn’t worth it.

One of the most important things is what you think of yourself. Be happy with yourself and be proud of who you are. Don’t be what other people think of you or what other people say you have to be.

If you are happy with yourself and if you love yourself, other people will love you for who you are.

Most days we don’t even think about how we are doing. Sometimes we don’t even realize when we are happiest.

Although it is good to reflect on the hard times, it is also important to think about all of our happiest times.

At the moment, we might not even realize how we are feeling. Later on, it is always good just to think about our day and see if we would do anything different or not.

Making sure we keep up with ourselves is one of the most important things and easily forgotten.

Everyone needs to remember to take a few minutes and really ask ourselves how we are doing.

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.
