1) You are important. Treat your soul and vessel in that way. This means that you should
-sleep well
-eat healthily
-study and always keep your mind fresh
-maintain healthy relationships
-take 30 minutes every day for yourself
-there is a clear spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical connection in the body. Keep them balanced.
2) You cannot take on the whole world in one day or all at once. Pick it apart, prioritize, and breathe. There is always tomorrow.
3) Question why you are stressed. Can you fix it? Yes?--do it. No? Drop it.
4) Never fear asking for help. The resources are often there as long as you're willing to swallow your pride from time to time.
5) When negative thoughts start to creep in just walk away from those demons. Make some tea, pick up a book, flip on some music. Do something to turn them away.
6) Even if you have no reason to smile, try. It helps.
"A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything"--Irish Proverb. Truth.

Realization Put to Practice
It's taken me awhile to realize this, and even more so to put it into words, and even yet more challenging to actually blog about it, but there are some things meant to be written and shared.
I think that at times we all get lost in what other people think and feel about us while forgetting to step back and remember what we're comfortable with. It's far easier to get caught up in what seems less difficult than it is to challenge yourself, when really the challenge is what helps make you a better person. The key is to not let the challenge push you down or confuse you. To separate the good from the bad is important. To know who you are is essential. Stop thinking about what others think or say from time to time and go with your gut. You know what you want too sometimes. That being said, don't stop listening to the ones you love either. They're there for a reason too. It's hard to fall down and getting up is harder, but the struggle is worth it. You'll feel like puking, crying, running away, and just stopping--but don't. Don't ever stop. Just slow down. Breathe. Re-evaluate yourself. Remember that you can't drag everyone down with you either. You are your center. Take action to better yourself and rid yourself of your demons. It's not easy or fast, but it's doable. Slap life in the face and never back down. Find solace in the fact that you are strong and beautiful and loved. Keep on truckin' along. You got this.
