  1. If it weren’t for your mom, you wouldn’t be breathing right now. If nothing else, you should thank her for that.
  2. A mother’s ears and eyes hear and see everything. They also have a computer-like memory for all the good (and some of the bad) that came your way. It’s nice to have someone with whom you can reminisce about your whole life.tumblr_inline_mpuujdS7SI1qz4rgp
  3. She loves you even when you don’t love yourself in the adolescent years. There are some tough years where we don’t even know who we are anymore but our moms stabilized that feeling with her love for us. No matter what we do, what mistakes we make, what we say, or how much we upset them, their love for us will never subside. It will always be unconditional. We live in a world where sometimes we don’t realize how hurtful our words can be. Although she might take it to heart when you ask her to drop you off a block away from school, she is still going to love you when you get home. Let’s face it, she puts up with your crap. No matter how big the fight or disagreement, you can always count on her to resolve the issue. Open your heart and drop the resentments because your mom would much rather hug it out and put it in the past. Her smile is contagious and you can’t help but cave in when you see it.cdabd0280641a05b674a3fef46c8d83d
  4. Your mom is the one who supports your dreams when no one else will. When the world turns their back on you, she’ll be standing there with open arms. She will be that unbiased opinion you need once drama strikes and she will get you out of trouble when you need it. She is your person. Nothing is as valuable as her presence. She knows you better than you know yourself. She senses your pain, and radiates positivity. She can read your mind in situations of awkward silence. She knows you, respects you, and lives for your success.f5f25a43fdac877e0f5799aaa1fda532
  5. She is my number one cheerleader.I don’t think I will every meet another person more dedicated to my success and ready to celebrate my accomplishments than my mom. She is hands-down my biggest supporter and will always be standing at the finish line of whatever race I may be running. I could be crawling across that finish line and she’d still be cheering for me the whole way.

If you haven’t found yours, these ways may help you instantly feel better.

No matter how bad it is, no matter how much it hurts right now, the lesson you learned from it is far more valuable, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time. Give i it time…

  2. Positive thoughts

 Telling yourself to “think positive” can be pretty underwhelming advice, especially when life seems out of control. Instead of trying to convince yourself that your situation is just rosy, focus your energy on approaching the unpleasantness in a positive way. This starts with monitoring and reshaping your internal monologue.

If you catch  yourself thinking, “I can’t believe I’m in this mess again,” correct the thought by  adding, “but I’ll pull through just like I always do.” Keep correcting these negative statements until it becomes second-nature; after that, make it your goal to eliminate the negativity altogether.

 3. Get Active

   Go out to a coffee shop. Go to a library. Attend church or another organization.            Being out and around people can lift your spirits, especially if you meet a                   friend.Feel the sun. You’ll wake up, you’ll feel more energized, and you’ll feel good.

4. New habits

Instead of trying to eradicate old habits, develop healthier, stronger alternatives that bypass the old ones. Developing new habits takes time, but once they are       established, they’re with you for life.

5. Identify and avoid people who bring you down

The last and maybe most important way of all, is to avoid people who don’t appreciate you and they’re trying to bring you down. Surround yourself with friends that make you feel good. You don’t need loads. Find 2 or 3 that can pick up everyone else’s slack. Just having a couple of people to bring you back to that content feeling will do the trick.
