New Years Resolutions And Lifestyles

Although it feels like 2016 just began only weeks ago, 2017 is rapidly approaching. Some had an amazing 2016, others not so much. Regardless of how everyones past year was, a new year awaits. A year that will be filled with love, laughter and friendship. A year that is unique and different than any other year. A year that we can make the best. In order to make 2017 the best year yet, we all need to strive to be better each and every day and keep in mind a list of lifestyles and resolutions.

Eat healthier.

Although many of us make this our resolution every year, it is not supposed to be just a resolution but it is supposed to be a lifestyle. Eating healthier will ensure that we have enough energy and vibrance each day in order to better ourselves.

Exercise more.

Exercising releases endorphins. Endorphins make for a happier, more energetic person. We need to not just exercise, but we need to enjoy it and make it a habit. Making exercise a habit will form it into a lifestyle. Making exercise a lifestyle will make us better selves and better people.

Do something that scares you; risk.

We often walk around our everyday lives wishing that we could do this or that, or wishing that we could have this or that. The key to happiness and to become better people is not to wish for things to happen, but instead to make them happen. If we take risks and act on our dreams we will feel more alive.

Be free, have fun.

In order to be happier people, we can't be uptight and tense. We need to let loose sometimes and have a good time. Having fun and being free once in a while will allow us to feel more alive and make for a better, happier, more energetic lifestyle.

Be the bright light in everyones days.

Lastly, we all need to make an effort to be the light and brightness in others' days. Smile at people on the street, ask friends how they are doing and actually stop to listen, tell somebody you love their shirt and actually be genuine about it and mean it. Bring people up instead of down and you will feel better and happier about yourself and feel energized and excited about life.

Overall, lets take 2017 and have a year.

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.
