In this day and age, society is training us to wake up, make money, and be successful. While these things are things we should all strive towards, they should not be our main motivators to wake up each day. We need to take a step back and become in sync with ourselves. These easy tips will motivate you to wake up with the intentions to be the best you possibly can.

1. Wake up at a reasonable time.

If you're aiming to rejuvenate yourself, don't make yourself suffer. Give yourself a reasonable hour to wake up to every day but early enough to kick-start your day. Keep this time a constant, whether it is the week or weekend. This will ensure a healthier sleeping pattern.

2. Drink water.

As soon as you wake up, you should drink water. This kick-starts your metabolism and gives your body clues that you are waking up. Ultimately, this makes waking up a lot easier.

3. Stretch.

Getting out of bed and moving around wakes your body up and prepares you for the day ahead.

4. Take a hot shower.


Taking a hot shower is the perfect way to start off a relaxing day. Use a pleasant smelling body wash and put on some jams to relax. Take your time on this step to really relax.

5. Eat a healthy breakfast.

Eat a filling breakfast full of proteins to give you energy for the day. An example of a healthy and energizing breakfast could be as simple as eggs, toast, and berries on the side.

6. Exercise your brain.

Use your time while eating breakfast or after breakfast to wake your brain up. Read a chapter of a book or write a list of things you need to do during the day. Doing this will prepare you for your day and keep your brain active.

7. Do something you enjoy.

The final step before your day begins is to do something you enjoy. This step is almost always overlooked and replaced with work, school, or other responsibilities. Make time in your morning to do something you love. This will make you happy and motivate you to do the things that maybe aren't so fun throughout the day.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
