Ways to Be Good to Yourself

Life is rough, but that's not an excuse to mistreat yourself. Here are a few ways to show your body and mind the love that it deserves.

Ways to Be Good to Yourself

1. Live a life that you love while you are single instead of waiting for your prince charming/princess to show up and make you happy.

2. Nurture your body with exercise, rest, comfort, and clean foods from mother nature. 

3. Accept and appreciate yourself as a whole person and don't tear yourself down. Accept the good parts of you, the flaws, the ugly, the beautiful, and the awkward. ALL of it. 

4.  Don't hold yourself back from telling the truth. Don’t swallow your words and opinions that express how you honestly feel, think, or want. 

5. Follow your intuition and your gut. Sometimes your brain and ego may get in the way when your intuition is screaming at you. 

6. Choose to be yourself even if it means that you’re no longer popular or you’re upsetting others. The truth is that there will be haters no matter what, so why not be the best first-rate version of yourself? 

7. Don't drag yourself down or drown yourself in your past mistakes. Embrace the fact that you can’t change the past, but you can learn from it. 

8. Wear clothes that make you feel good instead of trying to impress others. No one says that you need to be on trend with fashion; you can create your own style and just roll with it. 

9. Don't allow other’s opinions to rule your life. It doesn’t really matter how many likes you get on a pictures or status. That doesn’t define 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.

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.
