Now that I have captured your attention, I would like to tell you the 7 things you need to know right now if you need some encouragement. So, take a break, sit back and relax, and read. If you are still not encouraged, go read it again. Stop your stressing and worrying and use number 1!

1. Take a second to breathe

I know what you're thinking, because I am also there often, but you do have time to breathe. There's so much to get done right now but just take a few deep breaths and go to town on that assignment that's been stressing you out. A clear head will make all your work easier.

2. You are beautiful

That outfit looks beautiful on you and your makeup is on point!!! Whether you are the type to go for a clean look or you’re the one who goes all out, don't listen to what they say or worry about how many likes you get on that selfie. If you dig your look, wear it with confidence! If you don't like your look, don't be afraid to try something new!

3. You are stronger than you think

Those thoughts that you "can't get through this" are just dragging you down. Sometimes it takes a reminder from someone else (even if it's family) of all you can do. It's time to get back up, dust off your pants and go after that big dream of yours.

4. I believe in you.

It's okay to be unsure of yourself and what you want to be in life. You might not be able to trust your ability to reach a goal but I believe you can do it. I know you can achieve wonderful things in life if you set your mind to it.

5. You are someone’s reason to smile

Sometimes your happiness might be low, but you must know you make someone else happy. It could be anyone, even a pet! But someone smiled today because of you. Keep doing what you do.

6. You're worth it

This is my favorite thing to say to someone when they are down because it’s my favorite thing to hear. When people try and be there for you it might be hard to quite understand because you don’t think your worth their time, but trust me, they wouldn’t be there if you weren’t.

7. It gets better

This one is as corny as they come. But it’s true. Rough patches may feel like a rough life but things will get better. You will be where you want to be with less stress and have all your goals.

If you still are having a bad day, please look at this collage of cute cats. I hope they at least make you smile!
