Whether you are a teenager, or a middle-aged adult, or even an elder, chances are, there are many ways to improve your daily routine and help your lifestyle. With a few small additions and adjustments, your life can become much more productive, healthier, and happier. On this list below are things that not many of us do, myself included, which we can utilize to enhance our daily lives.

1. Go to bed by 11 every day, or even earlier if possible.

2. Exercise every day. A light walk or jog will suffice.

3. As soon as you wake up, make your bed.

4. Do some light stretching in the morning.

5. Save a dollar (or more) every day.

6. Wake up one or two hours earlier than normal; you will be pleased with the time you have.

7. Limit your daily junk intake.

8. Eat within 200 calories of your daily calorie intake, calculated here. This is more for adults as opposed to younger, still growing people.

9. Try to avoid screens within one hour of waking up and going to sleep.

10. Stand up at least once every hour.

11. Read a few pages of a book every day.

12. If you do read a book, try to read one off this list.

13. Laugh and smile multiple times a day.

13. Drink a lot of water every day; this is possibly the most important and most improving thing you could do.

14. Listen to some classical music, or at least some other happy music if you can't stand classical.

15. When listening through earphones, use on-ear earphones, as they are better for you.

16. Learn a bit of a new language every day; this language can be a coding language too!

17. Analyze your current daily routine, and cut out any time wasting activities, or reduce them.

18. Do crosswords, word searches, sudoku, or a similar game to keep your brain sharp.

19. Limit or cut daily soda and coffee intake.

20. Say to yourself every morning "I will do great today and learn something."

21. Find a hobby you enjoy, and do it every day or every few days; some examples are chess, writing, or coding.

22. Do some yoga or meditation every morning or night.

23. Talk to or hang out with a friend or family member daily.

24. Look at life as an opportunity to enjoy yourself.

25. Be optimistic about every day.

26. Keep a growth mindset every day, and try not to ever change it.

27. Use an agenda or create a to-do list each day so you do not forget anything.

28. Work daily on any long term project or study for a big test every day.

29. Play video games in place of some of your daily TV, to make your brain more active.

30. Make a promise to do at least 20 of these every day.

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.
