Simple Ways To Make February A Better Month

February seems to be a month that gets overlooked. It’s the coldest month of the year, people are ready for spring, and Valentine’s Day is an overrated holiday (sorry for those who like it). Here are some tips to make February fun and deepening.

Start Journaling

I started journaling a couple months ago, and it has been such a deepening experience. It gives me a space to write down anything I’m feeling and look back to see what was bothering me at that time. Journaling every day only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and it’s only for a month!

Unplug And Unwind

Spend less time on your phone this month. Put the phone down at meals and when hanging out with friends. Checking my phone to see what’s happening on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can be stressful, so spend less time on the phone and unwind.

Eat And Drink Well

Eating healthy all the time is not attainable, but it’s easy to take baby steps to a healthier lifestyle. Every day in February, try to make healthier decisions like drinking more water or eating an apple rather than eating a cookie.

Galentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a cute holiday, but it can also suck for people who aren’t in relationships or recently broke up with their partner. That is why I am a huge supporter of Galentine’s Day. Get your friends together and celebrate how much you all support and love each other. Go to a fun dinner, watch a movie, or craft some cute Galetine’s Day goodies.

Quit Something

I have started something this year called “Quit Something Thursdays.” Basically, I quit something every Thursday that I don’t need in my life anymore. Last Thursday I told myself I would quit not parking well. The Thursday before that I promised to try to start cussing less. There are four Thursdays in February, so pick things that you want to quit and start the process to quit it!

Start Something

Try starting a new hobby this month. Whether that be working out more or crafting more, it will allow you to explore what interests you.

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

This February, do something that scares you. Put yourself out there and try something that you never thought you would do. This February, I am going skydiving. I’m terrified, but I’m also thrilled to do something outside my comfort zone.

Make February a great month!!

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.
