7 Things You Need to Know RIGHT NOW

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!

                              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.

                              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.
