New Years Resolutions That We Need

Put yourself first.

Do you, and work on yourself. When you become a better person amazing things happen; you become a happier, healthier person. You focus on your goals and chances are you'll attract a better partner without trying

Eat less garbage.

Diets never stick, but by letting yourself have smaller amounts of unhealthy foods you get the taste you're craving without going completely overboard and you’ll be less likely to fall off the wagon.

Do yoga.

We all want to work out post New Years but instead of buying that gym membership you'll stop using after a month why not do yoga instead? Yoga helps balance the mind and body providing calm and improved strength and flexibility. Best part? You don't even need to leave the house.

Care less about the opinions of others.

People always have something to say to bring you down, why? Probably because they're dissatisfied with their own lives and would rather attack others than deal with their own issues. So be happy, be free, and don't worry about others; just be you and own it. After all a wolf does not trouble himself with the opinion of sheep.

Cut off toxic relationships.

Be it an old ex, “friends,” or some coworker it doesn't matter. If someone or multiple people aren't doing anything positive or supportive of you and are instead influencing your life in a negative way—cut it off. Toxic relationships are just that—they are poison—they are unhealthy and screw with you in numerous ways. Cut the dead weight and watch how quickly you start to feel better about yourself.

Set manageable goals.

Break your goals down into attainable parts by mapping out what you need to to year by year, month by month, day by day to attain them and get to it. You'll never get there by just sitting around wondering.

By doing all this you can make all the changes you wish to make in your life, in a healthy, manageable way. Namaste and Happy New Years

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.
