Happy Thoughts!

The main purpose of this blog was to make myself and others happy, so that's what I'm going to do! I want to make every day a happy day, so here are a few of my happy thoughts that I'll post every so often that I hope will make you happy!

Never forget that everything happens for a reason. Whatever you're going through will pass. Don't think for a second that this one thing will destroy your life, because it won't. It won't unless you allow it.

If you want to move past something, want to be happy, it doesn't come naturally. You need to choose a happy life. You need to choose to change your perspective because the way you live your life is up to you.

No one's life is easy. Everyone has struggles, but whether you hide them or deal with them is up to you. Whether you take out that emotion on something or find a way to ease that pain is up to you. 

What I know is you have to be strong. Strength is not measured by how many weights you can lift, it's how many struggles you can get through. The strongest people are the ones that can get through their hard times and move on to becoming happier & healthier than they ever have been.

I know this post is kind of random, but I deeply care about mental health and how to get through it! Even if you're as happy as can be, this can serve as a reminder! There's so much more I want to say about this topic, so let me know if you want to read more like this again!

What's On My Phone!

I use my phone way too much, but just what do I use it for for hours on end? Today I decided I'd show you some of my favorite apps that I always use!

• Netflix, of course! For when I'm too lazy to get up and get my laptop, the app is super useful.
• Bloglovin! I use the app for when I'm out and about and want to be easily notified of new followers, posts, etc!
• YouTube! Again, a very frequently used one. Let me know if you want to see who some of my favorite YouTubers are!
• The Homework App! (Yes, that's its actual name) This is great for any students that need to easily track what's due when and prioritize assignments!
• Headspace! A great app for when you need to relax. It really helps me to calm down, destress, or just improve my well-being. One complaint: a lot of the features are locked once you pass the first ten sessions, the only way to unlock them is through a paid subscription. But other than that, it's a pretty great app to have!
• Sleep Cycle! For all of us who hate mornings and always have trouble getting out of bed. You set an alarm for a certain 20-30 minute period, and it wakes you up during your lightest sleep in the duration you set! This really helps me to get up in the morning!
• Sunshine! Sunshine is a fairly new weather app that helps you to know how cold it will be! I know I struggle sometimes with knowing what to wear when it's 65F, but with Sunshine you can know if that means hot or cold! (And if you're usually cold like me, you can adjust your preferences to your reactions to the temperature).
• Spotify! Most people use this, but if you don't I highly recommend it! It has such a wide variety of free music that you can listen to! I use it all the time.
• Bitmoji! Again, most people use this. I love sending these little pictures to my friends! You can create an avatar and send little messages through a text!
• Instagram! I won't be revealing my personal account, but if you'd like me to create one for my followers on here please let me know because I would love to!!
• Snapchat! Again, won't be revealing my Snapchat on here as well! But I use Snapchat all the time with my friends!

I have an iPhone 6, so depending on your device, some of these apps might not be available or work as well. I highly recommend all of these apps and find them very useful and/or entertaining!
