Replenishing or "feeding" your soul when you need it most will make you feel happier, calmer, and help you to connect with yourself. It promotes those "I'm here now and everything will be O.K." thoughts. It's refreshing for the mind, the body, and the connections between the two. Brains get cluttered with information, stressors, challenges, and experiences, causing us to get lost in our own heads and dissociate from ourselves. Doing simple things that are good for the soul promotes some feel-good personal growth.

1. Have some alone time

Sometimes we all just need a break from the world.

2. Take a warm bath or shower

The warm water can relax your muscles.

A to-do list, bucket list, grocery list, list of fears, goals, any kind of list. It's a way to organize some random messy thoughts.

4. Clean up your room or workspace

Meditating is calming, or you can pray if you are religious. Either way, use the time to connect your mind and spirit.

9. Tell someone you love and appreciate them

"Something artistic" is a broad category. You can paint, write, play music, garden, bake or cook, anything where you are creating something.

I hope these tips help you recharge your energy!

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.

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.
