If you know me, you know I am always saying things like "Do you girl!" or "Okay yeah, do you." Those words are something I tell my friends, remind myself of, and truly try to live by.

"Doing you" is essentially focusing on yourself, your health, your success, and your overall well being. I think a lot of us think we have to please others or do things because other people want us to. But, we aren't necessarily doing those things because we want to. Why is that? It's okay to say no, especially if it means bettering yourself.

If you come to the realization that you're not happy, sit back and reflect on why. Is it because you aren't doing what you love? Are you focused on less important things that are consuming your life? Whatever that thing may be, cut it out of your life. If it isn't bringing a smile to your face every second of the day, you don't need it.

I know for me personally, being in college, it's a time when the word "selfish" is thrived upon. It's okay to be selfish. I'm not saying treating your friends and family poorly (because let's face it, you couldn't go through life without them), but I am saying do only what you want to do. Be selfish.

If you don't "do you," you will never fully understand yourself, what really makes you happy, or how to live your best life.

So, take some time for yourself and do so. Believe me, once you do, you'll be golden.
