We all have those days where we feel like the world is turning against us. Everything and everyone does us wrong in one single day and we feel like the badness is never-ending. Instead of dwelling in the negative of your bad day, there are so many ways to make it a good one.

1. Confiding in a friend

One of the best ways that help us become more relieved and non-stressed is by venting to friends. Even if you can't see them in person, sending them a quick text or giving them a call to vent will totally relieve you of any stress or feelings going on in your mind. The best way to get through tough situations is by getting advice from multiple people about it! Once you have a couple opinions on a situation, you will feel more comfortable dealing with it.

2. Alone relaxation time

Giving yourself some time alone also relieves any anger or tension building up inside you. Just simply relaxing by yourself and calming down from the bad situations happening to you creates a more calming mood and less anger will come out of you. Sometimes you just need a little time to yourself and forget about others for a bit.

3. Spoil yourself

You could also learn to treat yourself! There's no better feeling than spoiling yourself with hard earned shopping, eating or anything else. Taking the time to reward yourself for how amazing you are, needs to be done. This takes your mind off of all the negative going on and lets yourself know that you do deserve good things.

4. Personal activities

You could also do certain activities to take your mind off of your bad day. Distract yourself and maybe try cleaning up your room. A clean room immediately turns your mind relieved. You could also go out and do the things you love in life. This could be walking around nature paths, bike riding, swimming or just being outside. Being in the outdoors and smelling the fresh air does help clear your mind and also is good for your body.

5. Physical fitness

A personal favorite stress-reliever is working out. Whenever working out, all of the negative energy have stored up inside me goes away, and there are feelings of being refreshed and renewed. You also don't need a membership to a gym to be able to exercise. You and a workout buddy can go inside or outside and work on some routines. You could also run outside, which is an extra bonus because you are also enjoying the outdoors. Once you become more physically active, you will have a refreshed body and mind.

Just because you are having a bad day, doesn't mean it has to end that way. There are so many things you can do that can help with relieving your stress or negative energy within. Try a couple of these out next time and see if they work!

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.
