You're In Control

A positive attitude can truthfully change and better your life

You're In Control

When you are positive and have positive thoughts, you attract positive things and positive experiences. This is just science and the basic law of attraction. Like attracts like. I'm not trying to convince of you of anything, it's fact. Your thoughts are electromagnetic waves, essentially energy that affect your mind, brain and body. And these thoughts attract similar circumstances or experiences. Therefore, if your mind is having negative thoughts then it's going to react by having negative feelings, and then you're going to have negative experiences and a negative outlook on what is happening or could happen to you. On the other hand if you have thoughts of contentment, openness and happiness, your body is going to react by having those feelings and it will attract those types of experiences.

When people are left in this world without this knowledge, without the ability and power to be in control of the experiences they have and their destiny, they resort to dealing with what gets dealt to them, as if their whole life is on shuffle mode, but all along they've had the ability to pick and choose which song they want to hear.

Now that I've told you that you're in control, you probably want some tips for when you feel like you're not... and I have that too.

First off, if you're nervous, scared or hesitant about anything, you probably need some confidence. A good way to get an instant boost of confidence is to strike power poses. There are lots of different ones to choose from, but essentially any stance or sit that opens you up and relaxes you out. Stand like Superman with your hands on your hips, elbows sticking out and feet set wide apart. Breath in and out for about two minutes in each and every pose, and feel the anxiety leave you as you breath in new positivity, and emanate it outwards.

And my second tip is to think positive thoughts! Even if it's the craziest thing to do and you're 110% sure it's not going to work out. Even if it's fake and you're just trying to make yourself laugh. Sometimes, just sometimes, things work out and good things happen, because for a split-second you decided to change your mentality and decided that you're in control. Decide to have a good experience.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
