This is so simple yet so effective. You know that one song that makes you feel happy inside and reminds you of a certain memory on a favorite vacation or of your beloved hometown? Play it! You won't regret it.

Exercise!

No gym? No problem! You can do almost any exercise you would do in a gym in your own home.

I know that whenever I get stressed or anxious I turn to exercise to make me feel better and more like myself. Not only are you burning off some nervous energy you are also investing in yourself. There are so many good things that can be said for simply walking 30 minutes every single day. So, get up and get outside and get that vitamin D or, roll out a yoga mat or towel and meditate in your room. There is no such thing as proper exercise, so do you!

Online Shop!

Although your bank account may be crying you won't be when you order that one thing you have been eyeing for the past couple months. The excitement you get from tracking that package and then receiving it at your door is real and unmatched. So, treat yourself because no one else is going to do it for you!

Make some comfort food or even DoorDash it!

We all have that one thing our moms used to make us that makes us just feel happy. Make it! if you can't, door dash from you favorite restaurant or make something else that you love and don't or wouldn't usually make for yourself! It doest have to be fancy or creative because it is simply for you and who cares what other people would think anyways!

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.
