You know that feeling of pressure when everyone around you looks built, fit and just overall good? Like you HAVE to keep your body in order just so you don't risk getting compared to others because of your slightly off gym bod?! Well, although it is important to have some standards, it is also vital to do what you want with your life and to live how you want. That could be by ignoring the beauty ideals or just acknowledging your passion for having a flat tummy or muscular biceps. Living how you want can go one of both ways and that is perfectly acceptable There are people out there with different preferences.Now, for myself, I would love to be in shape and eat right. But the motivation is not there.It would make me feel better to literally be living better, and I know to achieve that, I have to make better eating choices and build a gym regimen.

The only way I know I can achieve this is hitting the gym because I for sure am not letting go of my eating habits. For me, I just cannot bring myself to go to the gym or find that I am happy to be going. On one hand, it does feel rewarding after a gym sesh, but initially getting up and going takes a lot of internal motivation.Laziness takes over and something comes over my mind that tells me that laying on my bed is a much better idea than getting up, getting in my car and bringing myself to hell the gym.

However, for those times when you find the motivation, here are 10 thoughts you might have when you arrive at the gym…

1. CRAP. Forgot my headphones, again.

2. All the machines are taken…should I just go home?

3. I hope I’m not using this machine wrong. There are a lot of people who could be judging.

4. I walked in from the parking lot… that could be enough exercise for today.

5. When you’re on the treadmill and you pray to God you don’t end up like all of those YouTube videos.

6. Why do I even wear a sports bra? My boobs aren’t big enough to make a difference in my exercise.

7. 40 minutes so far? Might as well push myself to the extra 20 mins.

8. I think I should reward myself after this with some ice cream.

9. After running on the treadmill for 7 minutes: *oh no I can’t breathe* and in comes the anxiety.

10. *checks out self in the mirror* Is that an ab?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
