Everyone has those moments in life where they are in a "funk," meaning every day feels like the same day with no excitement. Maybe too many changes are happening at once, so you find yourself stuck looking at the past being way better than your present. Whatever "funk" you're feeling right now, here are some things to keep in mind to get you through:


Stop Doing The Same Things

"Nothing lasts forever, whether you're doing well or you're doing bad" - Unknown

"If you do not like where you are, move. You're not a tree" - Unknown

"Insanity means doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" - Albert Einstein

If you do not like the way your life is going, CHANGE something. Nothing will change or get better if you keep doing the same thing every day or hanging out with the same people that do not make you feel alive.

Let Go & Accept Change

"The past is a nice place to visit, but not a good place to stay" - Unknown

"I always did something I was a little not ready to do, that is how you grow" - Marissa Mayer

Some people love change, and some people dread it like the plague. Learn to love change or accept it. If you're always reliving the past, you're missing out on making your present great. Be excited for your life, every day.

Your Thoughts Become Your Life

"What you put out is what you get back" -Unknown

"I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry" -Unknown

Put good things out into the universe! Start writing about the things you want to happen in your life and work toward them coming true.

Stop all your negative thoughts no matter how things are going in your life, your attitude is everything. You cannot expect good things to happen if you're always expecting the worst thing to occur. Some people like to say:

"Expect the worst and hope for the best" to avoid disappointment. I somewhat understand them, but by expecting the worst you're taking away your chance to hope for the best.

Surround Yourself With The Right People

Along with what thoughts you put in your mind, who you surround yourself with determines your life. Give yourself good company--people who lift you up, listen to you at 2 a.m. when it feels like everything fell apart, and people who make you feel alive and happy.

Pick friends who do these things:


Do Not Think You're The Only One

Lose the mindset that you're the only one in life going through a "funk" or a hard time. Everyone is going through something you know nothing about. Most people usually do not post all their issues on social media for the whole world to see. Many people are going through what you're going through or have gone through it before. According to E! News even Britney Spears gets anxiety and worries a lot. That's right, Britney Spears. So never think you're alone in anything or that you cannot get through it. You're better than that.

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.
