How To Stay Positive

Sometimes in life a lot of things tend to go wrong and we seem to not know how to stay positive and look at the bright side. So today I thought that I should post some of things that help me stay positive in life :)

The first step to staying positive in life is to surround yourself with positive people. If there is a person in your life who is constantly looking at the dark side of things and complaining then that person is not someone you should be around. If you stay close to negative people they will lead you into thinking of everything wrong and they will make some of the happiest things in life seem sad, that is why you should stick to being with positive people who will help you stay happy and they will help you look into the bright side of a dark situation. 

Another thing you can do to staying positive is to take some time to relax. Sometimes we find ourselves constantly thinking about the sad things in life or we are very overwhelmed by thinking about what could happen. This is why I think that everyday a person should find time for themselves by going for a walk so they can take time to simply relax and let go of all the worries  Another thing that can help relieve stress and worry's is Yoga so that is definitely something I recommend trying in order to stay positive and be relaxed.  

The last thing I recommend doing in order to stay positive is to be healthy. Being healthy is definitely a big help and can help make you become a much more positive person. By eating healthy and exercising you feel more confident about yourself. Exercising also helps you relieve stress and it can calm you down and keep you much more positive. 

How to deal with moving away

Moving is very hard for most people, especially if you are leaving a lot behind such as friends, and family. I recently had to move to somewhere completely different so I thought writing this could help some of you out :)

understand it gets easier: 

The first thing you should know once you move is that everything will get easier once you are settled in. I remember worrying way too much but as a couple days went by, it got easier. Moving is hard at first since you usually start off not knowing anybody and feeling alone but once you get settled in and start meeting new people it can be fun.

Meeting new friends:

Before I talk about how you can meet new friends i just wanted to let you know that this does not mean you have to forget about your old friends. However, its always nice to have a couple people that you can have fun with near you and it's  ok to meet new friends. In order to meet new friends you have to be yourself because if you aren't people can see right through you. So be nice to people, and be yourself. Also don't be afraid to go up to people and tell them about yourself. It might be difficult at first but you never know if that could be a start to a new friendship. When I was moving, my biggest fear was being alone, and not having friends, but if you talk to people and figure out what you have in common it can be quite easy.   

Staying in contact:

One of the hardest aspects about moving is leaving close family and friends behind. But remember you can always stay in contact with them.Video chatting with them can be a great start, then later in you can talk about ways you souls be able to reunite on vacations, etc..

I hope this helped you feel better about moving, it's definitely hard at first but it gets better. :)

Addicted to gaming?

Addicted to gaming?

I recently purchased a new video game which I was very excited about and I immediately started playing it. The company from which I downloaded the game from has an option showing how many hours you have played a game. It says that throughout the times I have been playing these past couple of days the total of hours spent playing the game was eighteen. This has led me to wonder about how many hours kids and adults spend playing games. Is gaming bad? Many parents with kids that have developed an interest in gaming sometimes wonder if gaming is bad for their children. I believe that gaming is okay as long as the child or adult sets a limit for themselves, if the person is able to stop themselves from playing games and go out into the world in order to get some exercise and socialize than gaming for them will be okay since its only a hobby and not a priority. However, if the person believes that it's better to spend more time playing games than socializing,sleeping and maybe even eating, then that is definitely an issue that needs to be taken care of immediately. How to set a limit? If you or your child love to spend time playing games, Its probably for the best to know how to set a limit for yourself. I certainly believe that an hour a day should be enough to fulfill your happiness. what you could do is set a timer for an hour and once that timer is up know that you should stop playing and continue the game the next day. It might be harder for some people at first so its best to keep in mind that your life is your biggest priority and video games are just a hobby that shouldn't take full control of your life. What should I do now? Once you are able to accomplish playing video games for only an hour or so a day the next step is to do something else that will make you or your child happy. You could either find another hobby that is more healthy such as sports or you could try to do fun things with family and/or friends so you won't be bored and have the urge to get back in the habit of playing video games for more than one hour a day. You dont necceacirly have to quit playing, but you do have to do things for yourself as a human being. You must let yourself or your child know that taking care of yourself will always come first.

What I do to make time pass while traveling

Since my parents come from two completely different countries, I have traveled a lot in my life and throughout my many years of traveling back and forth from these two countries, I have learned that while traveling can be fun it can also be very boring. So here are a few things that you could do while traveling to pass a bit of time. 

The first thing you could do to pass the time while traveling is read a book, I know that a lot of people are not fans of reading but, if you find a good book you will be amazed by how much you enjoy it and how much time you can spend reading it! If you are not into reading then your book doesn't have to be a traditional book it can also be a comic book or a couple of your favorite magazines, but I definitely think that reading a good traditional book will make you lose track of time.

The second thing I recommend doing while traveling is drawing. I know that this may sound a bit silly, but I truly enjoy drawing while i'm on the plane and you do not have to be a professional artist to draw. Just get some inspiration out! I remember drawing blue-prints to my dream houses or drawing "portraits" of my family members. Drawing can be a lot of fun and it will help pass the time. 

The last thing I like to do while traveling is playing games! This is a really fun thing to do, especially if you are traveling with other people. Now this game does not have to be a huge board game of some sort, it can also be a game where you don't need anything at all. You can play all kinds of games while traveling such as playing with cards, or coming up with random games in which you don't even need to bring anything to be able to play it. My favorite game to play while traveling is Hangman. In order to play hangman you need a piece of paper, a writing utensil, and a sibling or a buddy. How to play hangman: http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Hangman

Okay guys so these are just a few things I like to do in order to pass the time while traveling! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to comment down below what are your favorite things to do in order to pass the time while traveling because I would love to read them.

How to become an Outstanding Student!

    Many kids aim to get good grades and be good students in school in order to achieve their dream jobs or to make their parents proud. Being a good student is easier for some kids than it is for others,However everyone has the capability of becoming a good student as long as they try. Here are some tips to get you started on your journey of becoming an outstanding student.

The first thing you need to know about becoming an outstanding student is that you have to want it. Even though grades are a big aspect of being an outstanding student, they are not the only requirement. If you have the perfect grades, but you are constantly caught talking to your friends than your teacher will see that as a sign of disrespect and they might not think of you as an outstanding student. You must be sure to pay close attention in class and avoid distractions.

 The second thing you should know about becoming an outstanding student does not mean you should have absolutely zero social life, however it does mean that you have to put your school work first. If you know for a fact you have a big history test tomorrow, then don't plan on going to the movies today with some of your friends and reschedule it for another day when you know you will be free. If you make plans on a busy day with your friends than you might lose track of time and become very stressed out and possibly even get a bad grade on your test which won't help you become an outstanding student.

The third thing you need to know about becoming an outstanding student is that you should make sure to be wise about who you pick as a partner for a project. If you know that your best friend tends to slack off easily and puts pressure on you to do all the work, than maybe he or she is not the best partner to work with, this does not mean that you shouldn't be friends with that person but it does mean that you have to remember to put your school work first. Be partners with someone who you know will do an equal amount of work and will work as hard as you. 

Okay guys so that's all I got for becoming an Outstanding student. I hope these tips help you out! Remember that these are the tips that I learned in my school so it might not be the same for everyone, however if you try your best,avoid distractions, and really put an effort in becoming a good student then I am positive that everyone will see how hard you are trying and that will definitely make you an outstanding student :D 

How to find your key to happiness?

What is your key to happiness?

As individuals we all have different personalities and different things that make us happy. The number one aspect of happiness which many people agree with is Love, But what else in life do people do to make themselves happy? Lets find out.

As human beings we all try to do what makes us happy as much as possible. For some people Religion is the key to happiness, and for others its something along the lines of shopping or sports. But some people have not found their key to happiness which makes their life a lot more challenging because if you don't find your key to happiness than you don't have an inspiration or something to keep you going in life. I have personally struggled to find my key to happiness but I found it. So now I want to help others find their own key to happiness. 

The number one step to finding your key to happiness is to try new things. You will never know how much you enjoy doing something until you try it. Write a list of different things you want to try for example you can have stuff such as baking, playing a sport, writing, acting...etc. There are millions of things to do in the world so you might not be able to try all of them but write down the things that seem the most interesting or exciting to you. 

Once you tried out a couple of things that you thought were interesting narrow it down to the ones you enjoyed doing the most. Now just because you are not the best at something does not mean you should give up on it. If you enjoyed baking but you feel like the worst cake decorator in the world thats okay you should keep on doing it because with a bit of time and some practice you will get better. Even the best soccer player in the world had to practice before he gained his talent. So you must remember to not worry if you are not the best at the thing you enjoy doing.

After you accomplish finding the thing that you enjoyed doing the most. Get the tools you need to keep doing it. If you want to be a surfer, get surfing lessons or if you are not capable of doing that then go out and teach yourself how to get better at surfing ( as long as its safe!). Whatever you do just make sure that the thing you love doing is on your mind and keep doing it because once you find yourself at the place where you can look forward to doing it and you are motivated to get up everyday to do the thing(s) you love than that means that you finally find your key to happiness!
