In the past couple years I have gone on minor social media cleanses by removing one or two apps I felt I used excessively and while they have reaped benefits, some of which I will discuss in this article. When I decided to completely get rid of social media the shift in my lifestyle was instant and I quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I made thus far this year. Here is why you should go on a cleanse too:

1. You will focus more on yourself

Social media makes it easy for us stray away from our path and goals and compare ourselves to others. Losing it for some time will allow you to focus on yourself and make decisions based on your preferences and not what your followers prefer.

2. You will be more productive with your time

Not having social media will allow you to assess how much time you wasted on it. All the empty space will give you a chance to adopt more productive habits.

3. You will sleep more

Without social media to distract you, you will be more inclined to sleep early because you won't have anything to distract you from the signals your body gives you when its time to sleep.

4. Post-cleanse social media won't matter as much

Once you get back on social media you will spend less time on it because you'll know you can handle not being on it 24/7.

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.
