Turning a "Do Nothing Day" Into a "Do Something Day"

We all have those days.

Hello, one and all. Today is one of those "Do Nothing" days for me, I suppose. Lately, I've been having trouble finding the inspiration to do what I normally do–create. I mean, I must've found some inspiration just now to write from absolute boredom; but I've been wanting to do so much more. You know those days when you want to do anything and everything that the world offers you, but you can't seem to find the motivation to actually get up and do it? Yeah, that's today for me. But hopefully, after writing this list, I'll get out there, go to the gym, and paint something incredible. Sometimes all it takes is a quick read through of a list to get you going!

1. Focus on what you want


Sometimes you have an urge to do SOMETHING, but you just don't know what. Time to pop a squat and really think about what you WANT to do on this free day of yours.

2. End all distractions


I know, it's way easier said than done, but PUT DOWN THAT PHONE! If you're dying to go to the park, or get some coffee with a friend, or (I don't even know) go ride your bike, but you keep getting sucked into the virtual world, find the will power to just TURN IT OFF. Take a break for a while. Your eyes and your mind will thank you.

3. Manage your time

Ah yes, the biggest obstacle there is–TIME. If you're on a schedule, but you have some free time to yourself, there's simply not a minute to waste. Do what you have to do, and dedicate the rest of your day to that project you've been meaning to start for the longest time, or that event you wanted to attend, or whatever the case may be.

4. DO

The simplest step, yet sometimes, the most difficult. Do you want to spend your entire day just lounging around? No? THEN MAKE SOMETHING OF THE DAY! :D

That's all I really got for today. See? I've inspired myself to be proactive. I hope I've done the same for you!

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.
