5 Things Everyone Thinks After Not Working Out For a Minute

In This Article:

At the beginning of my first semester of college, I went to the gym all the time. However, as classes and clubs and extracurriculars got more busy, I became "too busy" to go to the gym. First of all, I don't think anyone is "too busy" for anything, even if you're Beyoncé or something. Everyone can make time for the things (or people!) they want to do or spend time with. So get up off the couch! I promise that extra Game of Thrones episode can wait.

1. Wow, I can't believe it's been a month (or a year, hey, no judgement) since I've been at the gym.

Time flies when you're binge watching your favorite shows after school or work.

2. I loved the way running/lifting weights/yoga/whatever made me feel after!

Maybe it's time for me to go back. I do miss that feeling.

3. I forgot how many cute people went to the gym...

Oh, THAT'S how they got those good bodies. Huh.

4. This really does get easier and easier the more you go!

At first it was rough, but I can feel myself getting back into shape.

5. I really missed the gym.

I hope I remember this the next time I'm "too busy" :)

Making time for the things you care about in your life is so so important. The things that make you happy and healthy always come first! Don't be afraid to take breaks if you need them, but often pushing yourself can get you to places you've never been.

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.
