6 Steps To Get Your Life Together

My life always seems to be one step ahead of me. So, I'm writing this as a self help guide. However, I thought it would be beneficial to help the rest of the world with the research I have done. Here are my steps on how to have your life together (or at least look like you do):

Step 1

Get all your workout clothes together and put them in a place that you can't easily get to. This helps with the, "I'm lazy and don't care what I look like today," mood in the morning. Keep your nice clothes easy to get to. Even if your hair and makeup aren't done, you'll look professional.

Step 2

Figure out where all your free time is going. Stop watching Netflix. Stop sleeping in till 11 o'clock. Your time is limited to 24 hours a day - don't waste them on things that won't help your future. Get a planner and keep track of when things are due and what deadlines you need to meet.

Step 3

Start working out at least 30 minutes of activity a day. Particularly, an activity that can make you more energetic, happy, and feel better about yourself. Usually, people who are behind in life or feel down are in need of activity to get the body going again. Go for a walk, to the gym, and/or a ride a bike. Whatever you do, do what you know will make you feel better, but don't overdo it.

Step 4

Watch what you eat. It's true what people say when they say you are what you eat. Eat food that makes you feel good. Eat food for the flavor not for how fast you can get it. Eat food that you took time to prepare, because you know where it came from. Eat food that makes you feel accomplished.

Step 5

Look at your life, and I mean, really look. What are you trying to accomplish today? This month? In ten years? Write that down. Work for that.

Step 6

Stop making excuses. Don't wait till tomorrow, because it never comes. Do this for yourself. Be the best you that you can be.

My life is crazy. I'm addicted to Netflix. I hate working out. Fast food is just so simple. My goals are like super hard, but not really, I'm just that lazy. I hate getting ready in the morning. So, I'm taking this advice. Hope it helps you too!

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.
