Give Yourself A Break

So the holidays are finally over. Everyone can finally calm down and go back to their normal every day routine. So why not take a break for yourself? Well how can I do that you ask? Here's 10 ways to take a break.

1. Stay away from self criticism. You are always your own worst critic.

2. Give yourself a physical break. Skip the gym today. One day won't kill you or mess you up.

3. GIVE UP THE ALCOHOL. I know, I know. You're young and should do all this stuff, but what is wrong with taking a break and drinking a glass of water?

4. Skip the fast food. Go home, make some grilled chicken and a salad. Yeah yeah yeah it takes more time and you're hangry.

5. Spend more time on your hobbies. Write, sing, do a little dance, knit for all I care. Take some time to spend on your hobby and things you enjoy.

6. Take some time to give to your religious beliefs. There's always more to learn about something you strongly believe in.

7. Loose the cell phone for a day. Simple as that.

8. Sleep in. Take a day just to just sleep. It's literally one of the best feelings in the world.

9. Drop the judgmental side of yourself for a day or two. Sometimes we judge others to make our self feel better. But you'll never imagine how nice it is to just worry about yourself instead of judging others.

10. Make a list of goals for yourself. So what if you spent the day in bed, you deserved that break. But know that setting goals for yourself can make life easier. Now let's not set unrealistic goals. But maybe even if its just a goal of organizing the closet in a week.

Give yourself a beak because you deserve it. We burn our selves out on the little things and sometimes and its hard to remember that we all deserve a break.

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.
