There’s a lot of pressure in today’s world for women. Be beautiful, be skinny, have children, get rich, be smart, be a good mother, be a good wife, all at the same time making sure everyone else is happy.
Honestly, do we need to have it all? Where does this come from? Our need to fit in, our need to be one of the boys, our need to be a super hero. It’s like we’re always trying to prove ourselves. But who are we proving this to? To ourselves or to the rest of the world? We spend most of our free time trying to please others and forgetting about ourselves. Now I know you know better than that. You can’t take care of others until you take care of yourself. If you’re broken, you’re useless to the rest of us! So how do we turn this around and make ourselves happy first. Here’s a list of helpful tips to get you back on the right track and to bring yourself back to a happy place.

Seriously! I don't remember what was so funny! We laughed so hard! |
Now if you don’t have someone who can make you laugh, rent a funny movie. Read a book. The one book that has me constantly giggling is Jann Arden’s recent book Falling Backwards. (Okay it’s not ALL funny, but there are funny parts… Jann is one funny gal!)
