Loving Yourself Unsplash

Everyone struggles with who they are and aspire to be one day. When lost you can always be found. Some ways to open up is learning to know yourself. Self-love is the best way to find your inner happiness along with your inner self. The first thing is to eliminate all toxic and negative people. Being surrounded by negativity won't motivate you to become a positive individual. Becoming comfortable in expressing your thoughts, feelings and ideas are some ways that can help you become more comfortable with yourself and the people around you.

1.Start eating better

A vegetarian or pescatarian lifestyle contributes to a stronger you. The healthier foods you eat, the better you'll feel. They not only cleanse your body but your mind and spirit. It's been found that high-fiber foods cause the brain to produce more serotonin which causes us to feel more relaxed physically and mentally. Overall, It's important to control your stress level and remain mentally strong.

2. Personal health is a part of future wealth

Stay positive, uplifted and happy at all times. Self-love is the best love, you owe it to yourself! Eat better, do better, live better. Having a better attitude allows you to accept beneficial changes towards your future and happiness. Getting your mindset ready now is the best thing you can do. Be open to change for the better mentally, physically and emotionally.

3.Expression through music

Music has always helped in regards of coping with my different emotions. If nothing speaks to you , music always will. I listen to a variety of different genres . Some of my favorite artist are Drake, Smino, Erykah Badu, Queen, Fleetwood Mac and the list goes on. I love these artist because I feel connected to them. I believe music is a way to comfortably express how you genuinely feel , and is also a great escape.

4. Open up to someone

It's never good to hold your feelings inside because eventually, they build up to anger or depression. Once you become comfortable in understanding your faults and working on yourself you feel a sense of relief. It can be hard to open up but it's definitely worth it. Everyone needs someone to talk to and there's always someone to listen: Counselor, family, friend, etc. Starting somewhere is better than ending nowhere.

5. Start living

My favorite thing to do when I'm down is to go on an adventure. Outside activities such as picnics and bike riding are great ways of reducing stress and uplifting your mood. I'm young, I want to live and experience the good things life has to offer. It's normal not to be happy all the time but it’s something we continuously strive for . Happiness forms from within. Living for yourself and no one else is the best love you can receive. Live a little , and you'll have a better idea of what makes you feel most alive.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
