Everyone needs this reminder

I decided to write this because the past couple of weeks have been a bit hard for me. I was sitting on my bed thinking of all the things that have happens to me and what is stressing me out, how no one understands and how I have it pretty bad right now. But then I came to a realization that even though things seem bad, they aren't the worst they could be and more people have it worse.

I told myself that I'll make tomorrow better. And even if that doesn't happen I need to keep my head high and press on. I needed to stop thinking of all the bad things in my life and start focusing on the positive. You can't I've a happy life if you're focused on all the negative stuff.

Bad things will happen to you. It's just a part of life. But another part of life is wonderful, it's the great things that happen to you. Your friends, family, maybe a sport you like to do, your favorite ice cream, beautiful sunsets, the first snow of the winter, puppies and kittens, dancing to music in your bedroom and dancing like you don't care. It's all the wonderful things that make us happy. And often times we take them for granted or overlook them.

Why would you put your focus on bad things rather than all the great things?

So here's a challenge.
Write down all the things that make you happy on a piece of paper. You can make it pretty or just on a plain piece of paper.
Put it somewhere that you see everyday like your bedroom door or your bathroom mirror. Read it everyday and remind yourself of the good in the world.
Because you know what?

You're beautiful
You're smart
You're amazing
You can do anything you put your mind to
You're strong
You're independent
You're kind
You're a blessing to anyone who meets you
You're a good friend
You're inspiring
You're magical
You're superwoman
You're the best person you could possibly be
You're YOU

So please don't forget these things. Don't ever feel like you're alone. Because you're not. Don't feel like there's no one you can talk to or like no one understands. You can talk to me! I'll talk anytime! And there are others who are going through the same situation. They're just good at hiding it too.

You're loved
You're appreciated
You're looked up to
You're understood
You're captivating

DONT EVER FORGET IT!!!!
