11Ways To Spark Creativity

1. Don't think


The more you think about your lack of ideas the more annoyed you'll get. Just let this pass by everyone goes through dry fazes.

2. Look online for inspiration


Scroll through Facebook, tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, reddit, or your favorite social media site. One of them is bound to give you some sort of inspiration.

3. Don't get to in your head


Don't shut down. The more pressure you put on yourself, the less ideas you'll have.

4. Realize nothing is going to live up to your expectations

Less expectations more ideas. You're open to more things when you aren't expecting to be the next anything.

5. Exercise


Walking, running, biking, anything that lets you not think about the world for a second helps. For me I get to just think. It's relaxing and your also breaking a sweat. Get those creative juices flowing.

6. Talk to people


Just talk, if you're like me you talk a lot. Most people tune you out after a point so it allows you to just get everything out. Sometimes mindless babble makes the most brilliant ideas.

7. Meditate

Just reflex. Let the silence sink in and let all the thoughts become unclouded. Everything will become clear.

8. Listen to your favorite song or band


Music but someone you love and look up to could make you want to make something. Maybe it's not even music, personally I just let my favorite Youtubers talk and it helps.

9. Try something new


Maybe you're bored. Maybe your sick of the ordinary. Go out of you're comfort zone and explore the world.

10. Finish something you've been meaning to


We all have these unfinished project that never seem to get done. Maybe it's time and maybe that project will make you want to accomplish more.

11. Just be careful and don't get out of hand


Being creative is great just don't do something that gets you or anyone else hurt.

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.
