8 Things You Need To Tell Yourself Everyday

We’re all aware of how a bad day continues to become worse throughout the day. Sometimes, it’s hard to get out of the rut. However, at the end of the night, it’s important to remember that it is simply a bad day, not a bad life. Regardless of good or bad days, here’s a list of 8 things you should tell yourself everyday, even when you don’t think so.

  • You are worth it
    • ...even when you don’t think so. You are worth the pain, the struggle, the glory, the beauty and everything in between. You. Are. Worth. The. Fight. Your current situation is not a reflection of the outcome.
  • You are beautiful
    • ...even when you don’t think so. Inside and out, you radiate with beauty. The kindness in your heart is shown through your actions. The potential-seeking soul is shown through the words you speak. Your beauty within appears on the outside.
  • You are talented
    • ...even when you don’t think so. You’ve been blessed with countless talents, some you may have yet to discover. And that’s okay. There’s a plan for you, a plan for me, a plan for everyone, even when we don;t believe it. You are given everything you need to succeed in this life.
  • You are intelligent
    • ...even when you don’t think so. You know more about your life than anyone else, believe that! You are much smarter than you will ever realize. You aren’t even aware of how informed you are!
  • You are capable
    • ...even when you don’t think so. Every life experience you’ve had the ability to encounter, push through and overcome has prepared you for every future possibility. You need to know that whatever life throws at you, you can catch, and you can fight back.
  • You are confident
    • ...even when you don’t think so. Sometimes, we have to tell ourselves our own qualities in order to fully believe them. And sometimes, we have to tell others the words we want to hear, in order to need these affirmations a little less.
  • You are independent
    • ...even when you don’t think so. The only person consistently walking you through your problems is yourself. You are the only person you need to solve your problems. You have the ability and kindness to take care of yourself. Believe this.
  • You are loved
    • ...especially when you don’t think so. You are so loved; so, so loved. You are loved by God, your family, your friends and even by people that do not know you entirely. But, most importantly, you are loved by those who do know you wholeheartedly; by those who know every flaw you have, every flaw you may think you have, every poor decision you’ve made, every poor decision you have yet to make and every single poor decision you made while knowing it was a poor decision. You are so incredibly loved.

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.
