Daily Reminders

Reading through one of my old notebooks from school and found these notes I wrote myself. Its kind of funny but I still find all these life tips helpful today. So here is some advise from my younger self  I thought was bloggable lol


Stop Overthinking Everything 
By overthinking you create problems that weren't there in the first place. STOP! Get out of your head, get some fresh air, and try talking to actual humans. The voices in your head aren't helping you.

Stop Complaining 
It's easy to focus on the things that aren't going your way but you really have so much to be grateful for. Always do your best to focus on the good and less on the bad. There is always a reason to smile! Keep your head up Buttercup!



 Stop Holding onto the Past
Things are going to happen that are completely out of your control and moving on can be really hard but you cant start a new chapter if you keep rereading the previous chapter. Learn what you can from the hard times and remember they are making you stronger.

 Stop Doubting Yourself 
In order to succeed you have to believe you will succeed. You are capable of anything and everything you put your mind to!

Stop Criticizing yourself  
Everyone Messes up. You cant take back your mistakes and you cant hide them. Accept that it happened and learn from it. Regretting and hating yourself for it is giving it control over you. Remember "You are more than the sum of your past mistakes" and there is so much worth loving in 
you. (yeah I quoted Tenth Avenue North)

Stop Holding Grudges
No matter how hurt you might feel always try to forgive. Sometimes its the hardest thing in the world and you probably think they don't deserve your forgiveness but if you cant do it for them DO IT FOR YOU! Holding grudges makes you bitter and steals your happiness. Don't give others control over you like that.

 Stop Worrying so Much 
 "Hakuna Matata!" Worrying just leads to anxiety and nobody has time for that! Stop worrying about the future and try to think about the things that are exciting about the future..  

Be Yourself
Its ok to be different. Stop trying to blend in. The right people will always love you no matter what and more importantly you should love your true self enough to show it off. Never be afraid to show your true colors!

Don't Be Envious or Jealous 
Stop comparing yourself to others. There is only one you and you have so much to be thankful for everyday. Find peace and be happy with what you have. There are plenty of people that probably wish they had the things you have.

Stop Being Afraid
No don't stop being afraid...fear is a good indication that your about to do something big or a little uncomfortable. Its ok to be fearful as long as you overcome it. Get out of your comfort zone, take some risks, and keep trying new things especially if they scare you.

 Take Responsibility for your Actions 
You can try and run from your problems or blame them on other people or things but they are always going to come back. Stop hiding from them. Look at them and deal with them!

 Laugh at Yourself
Don't take life so seriously. If you do something stupid, Laugh it off! Just laugh a lot..Laughing is great!

 You Can't Make Everyone Happy 
Don't constantly chose others happiness over yours. Yes make people happy but if you have to set aside your own dreams, goals, morals, and happiness to do it...DON'T 
Always make sure when you say yes to someone else you are not saying no to yourself.

Don't Place your Happiness in the Hands of Others
Learn to be happy alone. Your happiness should never depend on someone else or something else.

Take every Opportunity you Get
Stop thinking you're not ready! Take advantage of opportunities as they come. Dont be afraid to put yourself out there. You don't have to have it all together. Nobody is perfect and people will love you for your realness. No one else has a story like you. Don't be ashamed of it! Everything that's happening is making you and that will inspire others.
