10 Things You Can Do To Make The World A Better Place

Its no doubt that tensions are high in our country right now. Lately I have noticed our society just so full of hate, and being engrossed in that environment all the time really brings you down. Its hard to get on social media all the time to just to see negativity. So today I wanted to share a few a things that you can do to make the world a little brighter.

1. Leave positive notes in public places.

Leaving little notes of affirmation, positive thoughts and inspiring quotes is just a way to make a strangers day a little brighter. That stranger could share a photo of your note and it could spread positivity across the world!

2. Volunteer at an animal shelter.

Go walk or play with some local puppies or kittens that need some love. It makes the animals happier, the staff happier and odds are it would make you a lot happier too!

3. Donate blood!

The Red Cross is in need of all types of blood right now! Each time you donate you save up to 3 lives! I can't think of a better way to make the world better than by saving lives!

4. Do a random act of kindness.

Pay for someones coffee, compliment a stranger, give someone a nice meal, the possibilities are endless. Doing something kind for someone often leads to them paying it forward.

5. Make a good meal.

Cooking a meal that makes you happy, a comfort food, or something that reminds you of home can drastically increase your mood.

6. Try something new.

Take an adventure! There is nothing quite like the rush of doing something new whether it be food, an experience, or visiting a new location. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone.

7. Teach yourself a new skill.

Learn calligraphy, how to knit, or how to work on a car. Teach yourself a skill that will make your life easier and that you can pass on to someone else.

8. Get involved.

If you want to make a difference in your community, get involved. You can make a direct impact on your community along with bettering yourself in the process! If you want to see change then be part of it.

9. Keep a journal of all the things you are grateful for.

Every morning right down 5 things that you are thankful for. Do this for two weeks and you can't repeat anything you have written down before. Doing this small exercise can really remind you of all the things you have in your life to be grateful for.

10. SELF CARE!!!

Self care is single handedly the most important thing to do/learn! In times of high stress and emotion remember to take care of yourself! Self care can help keep you sane, reduce stress/anxiety and keep you grounded. Take some time today to do something that you enjoy doing. You deserve a break!

Remember to love yourself, and one another during this time when so many are hurting. Lets heal together!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
