Life can get crazy sometimes and we can feel overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts and work/school schedules. It's so hard to focus on the positive when all we can keep thinking about is the negatives. I know it's hard to pick yourself back up when you're feeling so low and lost, but it's not permanent! Here are 15 things you can do if life has got you down:

1. Have something healthy for each meal that you eat

Eating healthy makes me feel good about myself and when I've had something healthy for each meal, I feel like did my body good. If you want some brownies, don't me stop you. Comfort food is good too!

2. Take a shower

Use your favorite shampoo and body wash. Afterwards, put on that scented lotion you never get to use, but love.

3. Put on your favorite outfit

My motto is always, "if you look good, you feel good".

4. Clean/organize your house

I don't know about you, but having a clean room and being organized clears my mind and eases my stress.

5. Watch funny Youtube videos

You can never go wrong with Jimmy Fallon's Hashtag segments!

6. Try not go to on social media

That will only make you feel worse. You'll be comparing your life to others who probably are feeling the same way, but mask it with pictures of their fake life.

7. Go for a walk

Plug in some headphones, throw on some sneakers and just take a mind clearing walk

8. Buy a salt lamp

These are really great for cleansing the air, increasing energy levels, and improving your mood and concentration! You can get one for $20 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!

9. Play with puppies

Go volunteer at an animal shelter and you can play with puppies all while giving back to your community.

10. Go to the beach

The ocean breeze and the sound of the waves can be very relaxing. It's always nice to take a breather.

11. Watch your favorite movie

Netflix, need I say more?

12. Write down a list of things you've accomplished in life so far

13. Meditate

Get the "Calm" app. There's a lot of breathing exercises and relaxing music to listen to.

14. Spend some time with close friends

Get together with some close friends of your that you know will have nothing but positivity energy around you.

15. Drink some tea

I love to drink some honey lavender tea to help relax myself

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
