Having a hard day? Have a serious case of the Mondays? Feeling that mid-afternoon slump? Needing a mental health day? I have the solution to your problems. If you need a smile today, you've come to the right place. Here are 26 ways to improve your day.

1. Go through this self care checklist and do what it tells you to do.

2. Read this article of inspirational Tumblr quotes.

3. Remind yourself that the sun will always rise again.

4. Organize something- make your bed, put away your clothes. Doing something simple can help you feel productive and like you accomplished something, however small.

5. Make a list of five things you're grateful for.

6. Send a silly Snapchat (or three).


7. Make a list of people in your support system. Reach out to one of them.

8. Have a dance party to your favorite tune. This one always gets me dancing.

Or try this one:

9. If you need to get some anger out: throw balled up socks at the wall.

10. If you need a mental health day, take out. Emotional pain is just as legitimate as physical pain.

11. Repeat a positive affirmation to yourself. Print one out and hang it on your wall. Make it your computer background.

Remind yourself that you're complete all on your own:


12. Have a laugh with one of these funny Harry Potter Tumblr posts.

13. Watch a cute panda video.

Like this one:

Or this one:

14. Do this workout to get out tension and frustration.

15. Read this article full of cuteness.

16. Or if you're in a puppy mood, check out these puppies or these ones.

17. Speaking of puppies, check out this puppy livestream.

Dogs not your thing? Try pandas or kittens.

18. Grab a coloring book and some markers and unleash your inner child!


19. Instead of making a list of things to do, make yourself feel accomplished with a "done" list.

20. Play with a pet!

21. Eat a snack.

22. Put on your favorite, comfiest article of clothing.

23. I guarantee you can't make it through these videos without tearing up at the cuteness.




24. Watch an inspirational Ted talk.

Here are some for your inner child.

Here are some to inspire you when life is dark.

25. Watch these videos to remind yourself that you're not alone.



26. Give someone a hug!


I hope that I brought you a smile today! Tell me in the comments what you do to bring a little joy to your day!

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has.
