25 Ways To A Happier Soul
Haley Coghlan

1. Take a deep breath

A lot of people underestimate the power of taking a step back and taking a deep breath, it enables you to re-center and focus on the day.

2. Smile

Nothing can change your outlook on the day better than just changing your perspective and smiling. Show off those pearly whites.

3. Be yourself

That's the best person you can be.

4. Go to lunch with your friends

Who doesn't enjoy a girls day out with food?

5. Get dressed up and take cute pictures

Nothing makes my soul happier than feeling good about myself when I rock an outfit so naturally you must document it for the gram, right?

6. Go to the beach

The sound of the waves and the sand between your toes will instantly calm you.

7. Have a cell phone free day

99% of your day is most likely spent on some type of media. Let it go.

8. Call you Grandparents

It will make their day AND yours if you spend just 10 minutes on the phone with them.

9. Pay it forward in the drive thru line

You never know what someone else is going through, make your day by making someone else's.

10. Tell your parents you love them

You can never tell them too many times.

11. Go on a sibling outing

Don't take your sibling time for granted because soon enough you will all be old doing old "adult" things and not have time.

12. Journal

Nothing frees the soul better than a good journal entry.

13. Go for a drive

Put the windows down, turn up the jams and drive. You will feel free

14. Blare music from your car

Because sometimes it's just necessary

15. Have a Netflix marathon

Because you can never watch just one episode am I right?

16. Make yourself a good cup of joe

A good cup of coffee can instantly make your day

17. Listen to Malibu by Miley Cyrus

you'll feel "as free as birds catching the wind"

18. Don't worry about the future

The future will be here regardless if you worry about it. Don't take away the joy of today worrying about tomorrow.

19. Be content in the present

It's only the present for a short time. Enjoy it

20. Enjoy the little things

Don't underestimate the small victories in life.

21. Go to a movie

Because who doesn't love movies?

22. Go get ice cream with your friends

Nothing makes the soul happier than some good ice cream with good friends

23. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi because you deserve it

The way to a happier soul is pampering you.

24. Read a good book

It will calm your mind

25. Go for a walk

It will help you clear your head

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
