5 Tips For Women Who Feel Lost

It's been a pretty rough week for me, and I've really struggled with keeping it together. In reflection, I've come up with some tips to stay strong during a rough time.

You know what they say, when it rains it pours.

Be Your Own Romance Novel.

Buy yourself flowers. Light candles. Listen to the rain at your window. Buy lacy underwear and model it in your bedroom. Pamper yourself; don't leave your bathroom until you've polished every inch of yourself. Go for a picnic. Go shopping - even if its at a thrift store.

Do something silly that you love - dance crazy in your room, journal, read a book, color. Try something you remember loving that you haven't done in a long time.

You are a goddess. Own it.

Embrace the Outdoors.

Go for a walk by yourself; there's no need to hurry. Go to the park and listen to music on the swings. Drive around at night with the music too loud.

Pick flowers for yourself, display them, and then press them. Look for butterflies or birds. Take pictures of the sunset. Drive into the country just to look at the stars.

Nature is neither positive or negative. It just is. Be inspired by the constant of Earth.

Clean. 

Washed bedsheets are always a good idea. Vacuum the floor. Put your clothes away. Write down all your bills, appointments, homework assignments, and goals in one place (I personally love working in my planner).

Clean all the windows and mirrors in your house. Hang a new piece of art. Rearrange the furniture.

Clean space and an organized week is a calm mind.

Surround Yourself with People You Love. 

Call your family. Talk to your younger siblings if you have them. Pet your dog. Have dinner with your friends (even if its grilled cheese at home). Paint your nails with your best friend and try your hand at Pinterest nail art.

Watch a stupid movie with your significant other. Find old pictures from your childhood.

Remember that even if sometimes you can't see anything positive about yourself or your situation, that doesn't mean there isn't anything positive at all.

Surround yourself with people you are proud to know.

Recognize Yourself. 

Look at yourself after a nap - notice how glowy and beautiful you look.

Realize that if you lived next to the grand canyon, or the ocean, or in an art museum, you'd start underappreciating the beauty and strength of it. You live with yourself everyday, and that's not any different.

Think about things you struggled with last year that are over. Recognize that in a year, this may seem insignificant.

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.
