The Importance Of Me-Time
undercovermother.com.au

Life can be crazy busy; with having to deal with school, homework, jobs, internships, friends, family, and everything else you need to do, it can be hard to balance everything. A lot of us spend much of our time with trying to please other people, but we forget the most important person in our lives, ourselves.

We all live such busy lives, and it can be hard to take some me-time, but we need to in order to connect with ourselves and understand the things that are happening in our lives. I know I tend to find myself going through the craziness of life and neglecting to take some time for myself and then burning myself out. Taking out some time every day for just yourself can be a great way to help bring balance to your life and to keep a lot of the craziness of life in order.

So make sure to take some time out for yourself. People can be great; they can be there when you need someone to talk to, or need someone to do something with, but spending too much time with other people can also make life more difficult. People can also cause you a lot of stress that you do not need. Doing things for yourself, by yourself can be a great way to relieve some of the stress that you may be experiencing. Go for a walk alone, lock yourself in your room and listen to some music, take yourself out on a nice date. Make sure you take a moment each day to be there for yourself, like you are for other people.

So many people live such busy lives, surrounded by so many different people, doing so many different things. Being busy can be a great thing; it shows that you are trying to do good things with life and contribute to society, but it can also be harmful to you as a person. You need to have moments where you can just be with yourself and clear your mind. So make sure you taking a moment to yourself to relax and re-center.

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.
