Why Should You Get Up This Morning?

"Get up and start your day! The universe isn’t waiting for you."

Why Should You Get Up This Morning?

For those who have been feeling a little down lately or those who have forgotten to value their "ordinary" routines, I've taken the initiative to remind you exactly why every day deserves your love and attention:

The universe isn't waiting for you.

The friend who keeps canceling plans with you? The guy who read your text and didn't respond? These things are out of your control and shouldn't dictate how you live your life. Don't let the little things you’re waiting to happen get in the way of what is happening now.

Someone wants to see you.

Friends, family, coworkers, teachers and advisors are all waiting to see your shining face today. They want to help you be the best version of yourself, so let them! If you've been meaning to tell them how much you care about them, now is always a good time to do so.

There are so many wonderful places outside of your bedroom.

The mornings are the best time to focus on yourself. Go on a walk, make a quality breakfast, sit down with your coffee instead of taking it to go. Doing something productive with your morning, or going outside the comfort of your home can change how you view the rest of your day.

You don’t want to.


Your bed is super tempting, I know, but life isn't always about being comfortable. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is key, especially during times when that's the last thing you want to do.

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.
