When everything feels overwhelming, like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders; and when tasks seem impossible to achieve, it's sure as hell time to slim down all the extra baggage. Here are some of the ways you can.

1. Shrink your social circle!

Remember, it's not about the quantity of friends; it's about the quality! Having those select few that you can count on during the happy times and the downfalls can mean a lot. Filtering through your group will show you those who you can trust. Once you figure that out, it feels like an accomplishment.

Also, being around positive influences will only increase your drive to be better in all ways possible.

2. Stop limiting your interests!

I know this might sound as if it goes against my point, but hear me out. Once you spread your focus on more than one thing, a world of opportunity opens up! By giving yourself permission to explore more than one territory, there is less pressure to stride to be perfect.

In a way, it's simplifying because you don't get sucked into a routine or get caught up in an ego-driven goal that doesn't allow you to enjoy life.

3. Love yourself!

In a hectic life, the best thing you can do for yourself is LOVE yourself. If you want to be able to help others, you need to first and foremost take care of yourself; it's not selfish! Plus, when you realize that living in accords to your heart is the only way to stay true to who you are, your world unfolds in your favor; it's the coolest thing.

When you make yourself the center of your focus, life becomes simpler and less worrisome. You just can't pour from an empty cup.

4. Stop reacting to every damn thing!

Just because someone made you mad doesn't mean you have to go off. Not everything needs a reaction. Sometimes, not saying anything at all is the best reaction. When you're just chillin', and there's less chaos, you're going to have less problems.

Claiming that you don't like being involved in drama, but then sticking your spoon in the pot doesn't pull you out of drama...

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.
