Don't forget to take care of yourself

A Little Self Love Goes A Long Way

Sometimes we are so caught up in every day life and the next big thing in our lives or the next big project at work or the next weekend or whatever that we completely lose sight of taking care of ourselves. It's so easy in today's world to be caught up in everything that's going on around you and you can so easily get caught up in everyone else's life but you always need to bring the focus back to your life and back to you. You always need to make sure that you're taking care of yourself and making time for yourself, no matter how hard it might be to do.

In today's world, it's so easy to look at our phones and get caught up on social media and compare yourself to both people you know in real life and people you've never even met. It's easy to think that if you keep going and going, you'll have what they have or you'll be able to get to the next level of whatever it is you're striving for. It's so easy to compare yourself and get down on yourself that you can easily lose sight of all that you've done and how far you've come. Don't forget to remind yourself of all of your hard work and to take a moment for yourself to acknowledge your accomplishments and to be proud of yourself.

Don't forget that no one else in the entire world is you, so don't always look to compare yourself with other people. Give yourself a little bit of love and comfort in knowing that. You might not be the tallest, skinniest, funniest, loudest, whatever else you're talking down to yourself about - but that's why you should love yourself. Because you aren't those things, but because you're you and no one else in the entire world is you and can do the things that you can do.

Give yourself a little self love because no one else in the world is going to make sure to take time out of their day to do that for you. You can always bust your butt and keep grinding to the next thing, but don't forget to take that step back and make sure that you're happy with how you're getting there and with everything your doing. You can always put so much pressure on yourself to do the next thing, get to the next level, impress the next person, but you always need to make sure that you're enjoying it and you're happy along the way.

Even though we'll always get caught up in the day to day dramas and the daily grind that everyone in this world is going through, don't forget to take care of yourself. Don't forget to take those few moments each day to give yourself a little love and remind yourself of how far you've come and that you're perfectly you.

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.
