So You Have Been Feeling A Little Down
Pinimg

Have you been in some weird kind of funk where the things you love to do slowly occur less often, when the music you are used to and the movies that cheer you up when you are having a rough day does not quite get the job done. You feel like you are kind of slowly losing yourself and have to rebuild everything that you are accustomed to. You begin to lose sleep, eat less, stress more and become well more unproductive. So, how do you get out of this funk because all you want is to get back to what you are use to and back to normal you?

Well, the first thing I think that is best for everyone is to carry on with your everyday activities. Whatever is happening that is throwing you into this strange funk you have to carry on because no matter what life keeps happening and you have to keep living. Also, remember that some days are better than others and it is okay to not be okay - just keep going.

The second thing - do not keep yourself down. Whatever is holding you down, get rid of it. Whenever the negative is overcoming the good it needs to go. Maybe it's people, a hobby, a tragic event or anything that is making you feel so down and out of sync with yourself.

Third - if you are the one who is holding yourself down then it's time that you find someone to talk to and find someone to help you live the extraordinary life that you deserve. Find someone who can lead you down the right path of becoming the person you are looking for.

Sometimes after being in these funks where you kind of lose your way from who you were and from where you want to go, you find yourself becoming a new person who you might not want to be. The best thing to do is to accept that you have changed and become the better version of you.

Maybe this is a sign telling you to find new passions in life, the things that you could love and get you through all the tough times. Who knows, you might find a passion in working out, cooking, reading anything that makes you realize how great life is and how you need to take advantage of everything life has to offer you. Or maybe it is finding your way to a new city, town or country or even getting a pet because everyone knows a pet is always going to be there and love you unconditionally.

I guess if you are in a funk I understand because I have been there and I am currently there. How I got here was out of my control. So trying to find your way back is a little more difficult and you have no idea how to face it. To be honest I am still trying to find my way back but the key is to keep living and to know that ever yday is worth it. The other key is surrounding yourself with the people who want nothing but your happiness.

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.
