9 Small Things That Can Change Your Life

With the end of high school fast approaching, I have been doing a lot of thinking about life after high school and life in general. Not just in a spiritual way but also in a light-hearted way. I feel like this year I need to make a few changes in my life that will benefit me in the future. Although I feel like I have conquered a lot of these things, this list is not just for myself, but for everyone who feels they need a change.

1. Don't surround yourself with people who doubt you. (These are not the kind of people you want in your life. You are strong and can achieve brilliant things.)

2. Read more books. (If you are not the biggest reader, then this may be a difficult one, but you can never learn too much.)

3. Drink more water. (Obvious. But water really can do great things for your health and we need it to survive. Drinking more can be good for your skin and body in general.)

4. Don't be afraid to go places by yourself. (I cannot stress this enough, especially to people around my age. Traveling by yourself or even just going to grab coffee by yourself can give you some much needed time to regroup. Sometimes you'll even meet some lovely people that you might not talk to if you were with a large group of other people.)

5. Don't look for the approval of others. (This is definitely something I put on the list for myself. I need to work on this and realize that it is my life and no one else's. Do things because you want to.)

6. Travel, travel, travel. (Even if it is just an hour away. I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel with my family and it has forever changed my life. You begin to realize that there are other people other than yourself and it completely opens your eyes.)

7. Try something new every week. (Wether it's music, food or movies. This is something I definitely want to start. Although I love to try new things, I don't try them often enough.)

8. Make a new friend.(This sounds like something your mom would tell you before kindergarden, but it's true. Making new friends means that you will gain new conversation and new experience.)

9. Try and spend at least 30 minutes of time by yourself every day. (Consider this your relaxing and thinking time. Turn off your phone and do something you love.)

I hope you guys liked this different kind of post!
