The past twelve months since graduating have been the most eventful, life changing months I can pinpoint. Maybe I’m just more aware of my own change than I have been in the past, but I am amazed at how different things are year to year, month to month, and moment to moment. All of those events (while of varying importance) have been significant turning points. It’s true that the twenties are a really crazy time where so many things change. I used to be afraid of change, but I now embrace it because of one little BIG thing: I trust in God fully. Hindsight is a beautiful thing.. it confirms things that I was ever unsure of and helps me understand that God is leading every step of my life, if I just let him. In a mere month and a half from now, I’ll be turning yet another chapter in the book of my life to a fresh, blank page. 20 year old me might have been freaked out but 23 year old me is excited to see what the contents of this next chapter will hold. 

If you ever catch yourself feeling blue, as we all sometimes do from time to time, here are ten things that if you do three days in a row (I promise) will make you feel better.

1. In the morning write down five things you are grateful for.
