3 Sayings For A Healthier Mindset

Especially in today's society, pandemic and all, it is very difficult to think positively. Sometimes we find ourselves assuming the worst and getting stuck in a negative mental rut. When this happens to me, I try to remember these sayings to motivate my mind to think more optimistically,

Whatever happens is for a reason

Austin Chan

I know that this is hard for everyone to believe; it's even hard for me to believe it sometimes. I find comfort in it, though. Since we cannot predict an outcome of the choices we make, we can only look at that outcome and think that there must be a purpose for it. You may not find that purpose right away, but maybe a day, a month or even a year from then things will make sense. So if something happens that was unexpected, think to yourself, "Maybe there was a reason for that." And sooner or later, you may find yourself reflecting upon that exact moment where it all comes back full circle.

We can't predict the future, so enjoy now

This is a really important one. Many things in life are really and truly out of our control. We cannot predict our health, how successful we will be or when we will meet our soulmates; however, we can control the present moment. We can control our actions now, how we view ourselves and what steps we take to improve our lives. Living in the moment can be a very big stress reliever. Personally, I tend to think and dwell on the future, and then I tell myself: enjoy now. It's the only thing we have at the moment.

Each day is a blessing to grow

Sixteen Miles Out

As cheesy as it sounds, life is a blessing. Each day is an opportunity to learn and grow ourselves. When things get challenging, it is so easy to think that nothing is worth it or that it's easier to give up. Instead of this mentality, use each day as an opportunity to grow as a person and to better yourself.

Life has its ups and downs, but choosing a positive mental attitude can help a great deal. It's n to easy, but if you can remember a couple motivational sayings, it may help make life a little easier.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
