Four Ways To Figure Out What's Wrong With You
Noble Direct

Not knowing what is wrong with you is the worst feeling. Recently, I've been getting blood test after blood test to figure out why my body is behaving poorly. I'm not going to get into what's wrong with me, in particular. But it's worrisome, not going to lie.

So here's what to do if you think there might be something wrong with you. Also, I am obviously not a doctor, but this is what I've been doing. Take this list with a grain of salt and please see an actual doctor. Naturopaths don't count, in my honest opinion.

1. Write Down What You Eat

This one is easy, maybe your diet is making your body work harder than it needs to. Gluten issues, dairy issues? Anything is possible. Technically, cow milk really isn't for human digestive systems, so cheese or coffee could be making you feel sick more often than you'd like. Also, write down how you feel a couple of hours after your meal! That way, you can narrow down what food is making you feel bad exactly.

2. See an Actual Doctor

This is pretty straightforward. You feel sick? See a doctor. They're more helpful than TV says they are.

3. Calm Down

Stress can really screw with your system. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and can mess with your digestion, make you bloated, and cause acne. Basically, it's a stress hormone that makes you more stressed out. Try some yoga. Sounds hippy, I know, but it actually works.

4. Your Brain Could Be Causing Your Issues

Sometimes, when you believe something to be true, your brain can make that falsity into a reality. So, again, calm yourself. Your brain is more powerful than you'd think.

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.
