Easy steps to keep yourself organized, motivated, and feeing accomplished!

Wake Up Early

While hitting the snooze button is often a temptation, waking up early is the best way to start implementing a new routine. Waking up early in the morning provides you with ample time to get acclimated with the day, plan ahead, and get to thinking about any upcoming events. It is also an important time to get in touch with yourself through meditation, yoga, or a nice shower. Starting off your day like this gets you motivated and ready to start the day!

Make Lists

Making lists is the next step to getting yourself into a routine. It makes you responsible for knowing what you need, when you need it, and how you need to get it done. It is truly the most important part of setting a routine as it not only keeps you organized, but it also allows you to cross things off. Being able to cross things off your list is likely to keep you motivated and dedicated to your routine.

Create Hourly Daily Schedules

How are hourly schedules different from lists? Hourly schedules keep you focused and set mini goals to keep you moving from one thing to the next. The key to a routine really is motivation, so being proactive and getting things done on schedule will set you up for success.

Find Time to Workout

Your body is your temple. If you are not caring for your body it is not likely that a routine is likely to stick. It is important that alongside working out, you are eating healthy and drinking a lot of water. Incorporating exercise into your day will keep your mind and body happy making it easier to keep up a routine. A well-oiled machine is a good working machine!

Find a New Hobby

Having a routine does not have to be all work and no play. It is important that you find new hobbies or at least take the time to enjoy your favorite hobbies. Whether it is trying to paint like Bob Ross or cook like Gordon Ramsay, it is important that you take time for yourself to relax and destress!

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.
