10 Simple Ways To Show Yourself  Love This Month

In This Article:

Take small steps each day to show yourself how great you really are.

1. Sit in silence

Sit in silence and meditate on how far you've come in life. Meditate on the thought that you are amazing.

2. Splurge 

Whether that's on coffee, a manicure, or a new pillow for your couch in the living room- splurge in a simple way that allows you to feel that you are working for more than rent and tuition.

3. Do something bold

From taking a group exercise class to painting your nails neon orange, be bold in one way or another that allows your personality shine.

4. Sit in the sun

With summer coming to an end, take a moment to just sit outside and bask in the warm sunshine.

5. Avoid restrictions and limitations

From food to going to the beach - live your life this month with no limitations on your happiness and satisfaction.

6. Put the phone down

And stop comparing yourself to other girls on Instagram. Put the phone down and learn to love being in your own presence for the time being.

7. Eat the pizza (and maybe the ice cream, too)

Because life is too short to obsess over calories and work outs than to enjoy in moderation, your favorite foods on a summer day.

8. Change up your routine

By adding in morning workouts, meditating before bed, or simply waking up earlier. Switching up small things in your daily routine can help you feel less bored with your life- trust me.

9. Take up a new hobby

Boxing, knitting, reading,.. the options are endless.

10. Thank yourself

Thank yourself for showing up today and doing everything you've done. Give yourself gratitude and compassion- you've made it through another day.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
