I love the saying “allergic to Mondays” because I know some Mondays I can 100 percent relate. But hopefully a few of these tips will help to get rid of those Monday morning blues.

1. It could always be worse.

You woke up this morning and you are breathing. That’s all that really matters. Do your best to make today the best you can. Put a smile on your face and just roll with it.

2. Get your shit done so you can go home and sleep.

I don’t know about you but I absolutely love my sleep and if some days is may have to be my only motivation and that is OK. If knowing I get to go home to snuggle up in my comfy bed when I’m just too tired to function. It will help me get through the day.

3. If you're going to work at least you're making money.

Always try to think of at least something positive that’s happening today. Go make the dough and bring it home. Do what you gotta do. Some days may not be the best. But if you keep telling yourself you are making that money it’ll help. Bring home the bacon folks.

4. If you're going to school at least you're spending money to make money someday.

Now this is what I’m dealing with right now. And I can tell you it is hard to find the motivation sometimes to get up and go to class on Monday mornings. You have to keep in the back of your mind that it will all be over soon enough and you are doing this to make yourself happy and to have the job that will soon be the job of your dreams. Keep chasing your dreams and do not give up. There may come a time where giving up seems like the only answer. But do not feed into that. Hard work always pays off.

5. Do your best at whatever you are doing today because it will pay off in the long run.

Trying your best and putting your best foot forward will make the day so much better and go by a lot faster. If you mope around and complain all day it will only make the day worse and make the day feel like forever. Stay positive and upbeat all day and you will before you know it be on your way home to enjoy the rest of your evening.

6. Always wake up and try to make every day the best day ever.

If you have this attitude every morning when you wake up. Nothing can stop you. Waking up in the morning with a positive mind set makes the biggest difference. Maybe wake up to your favorite music, drink a nice cup of coffee, don’t immediately get on social media, do some stretches. Whatever gets you up and running quickly and keeps you positive. Get in the groove of doing some of those little things and it could make a wonderful difference in your day to day lifestyle.

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.
