How To Thrive With All This Time You Have Now

It seems we're all in the same boat of figuring out what to do what all of this time we now have. Classes have been moved to online; we can't go and hang out with our friends for awhile and this whole "social distancing" movement has created much more anxiety for people. So, how do we get through this?

First, acknowledge that it's only temporary. This isn't forever and that in itself should give you hope. It should boost some motivation to do the things you've wanted to get done, but haven't had the time to. We'll all return to our jobs and daily grinds shortly, but this is the time to figure out a game plan and start those projects at home. This is exciting stuff! For me, I've already finished two books that I've had for years and haven't gotten around to reading. I've taken up crafting and have started to learn break dancing. I've also been learning how to play the banjo. Honestly, my days are pretty jam packed with the things I've put on the back burner because they weren't priorities. Well, now's my time to do it, and yours to! What have you been wanting to do but could never find time? What podcast did you put off for so long? What home fitness class have you been wanting to try?

We're never going to have as much time as we do now! Instead of wishing it away, find a way to make it productive. Time to get creative. Work outside, watch a show guilt free, learn a new skill. There is an infinite amount of things you can learn or do. Try one today. And remember to take it one day at a time. We are all in this together and now, more than ever, is the time to connect with people on a deeper level. Who says you can't do that through a screen? We got this!

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.
