What can you do to think more positive?
The Spirit Science

Your thoughts control you.

Letting go of negative thoughts is important. You are going to think in your own way, but you have to be sure to have some stability in what you think. Losing your stability is why we need someone to be our rock. While there is nothing wrong with relying on someone to hold you up, you will be happier in the long run if you are able to be your own support system. Find a balance that works for you. Redirecting your thoughts to be more positive will strengthen you and enlighten your life. Overall, you're going to feel better once you let go of any negative thoughts and allow the positive, good ones to roll in. Your faith, trust and confidence in yourself will be lifted. You will feel better.



Get enough sleep.

Stop waiting...

"If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree." -Jim Rohn

Think to yourself, "Is anything or anyone FORCING me to stay where I am at and unhappy?" More than likely, the answer is NO. The first step in any journey is to simply start. You won't get anywhere at all just waiting for a change to happen. Sometimes you have to take it into your own hands. It is your life. Take control.


Give yourself some relaxation time!


If you deserve it, you deserve it. Make time for yourself to relax when you've hit your limit, and you have just about had enough. Recharge your mental state. Do what YOU want.

Forgive yourself. Give others forgiveness.

Holding onto things is at the core of negativity. Sitting and dwelling on things that are out of your control will ruin your mindset. If you're upset, take a break and let your negative emotion dissipate and respond with a positive purpose, instead of react instinctively. You will be happier knowing you didn't act without thinking.

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.
