A Reminder That You Are Awesome
Page A Day

Everyone is dealing with stress. Maybe you're worried about how you're going to pay your bills, how you're going to finish all your homework in time, or you're just concerned about your alarm not waking you up for an important meeting the next morning. No matter what it is, there's stress in everyone's life.

Everyone always loves to remind us of why we should be worrying about our lives, but I hardly ever hear about people just telling me "good job" and "keep up the good work." So, I have decided to make that my job for a day. I want to remind each and every one of you that you are awesome. Forget about the stress every once in a while and think about all that you've accomplished. Just because something is giving you a struggle now does not mean it's impossible or that you can't do it. Look back on the other times you couldn't succeed but then you did. Remember how that felt. And, after you've rediscovered your awesomeness, then you can be ready to tackle your tasks now.

It's also important to remember the things you love about life. Friends, family, a hobby that you couldn't live without. All of these can really help keep you sane when you have all this other stress in your life. Don't forget that you need rest too, so sit back, watch some Netflix, play a game with your family, whatever you want to do to get your mind off life for a little while. Naps are my personal favorite. The world is still spinning and will not stop just because you took a break from reality. Sometimes that's all you need to be able to get back on your feet and finish everything you need to do. There's a reason people have days off. People can't physically work 24/7, which means you have to remember to give yourself that break time. Plus, you deserve it. You've worked hard, it's time to go out and have fun with some friends.

Life is constantly knocking at our door, and every once in a while we just have to let it wait. We're all expected to do so much all at once, and while you have to remind yourself that you are capable of doing it all, you still need to take steps back and rest. Plan your time wisely. If you have to, mark in your calendars when you're going to relax and do whatever you want, so that you don't lose your mind while making your schedule.

The world is so lucky to have you here, but it can wait whenever you need a day or two to recuperate. Everyone will appreciate that you've gotten your head back after you've rested. Just don't forget that you're awesome, you've already done so much, and you will be able to get through whatever you need to get through next.

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.
