There’s a lot you may feel like you have to worry about. But take a deep breath and know everything is going to be OK.

Whatever’s swirling in your head right now or bringing you down with work, family, relationships, money, try not to let stress win. It’ll all turn out alright.

Actually, better than alright!

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller

We don’t know about you, but this time of year many of us have fallen into a routine (or, if we’re calling a spade a spade … a rut!).

The excitement of an official New Year has worn off and we’re wondering how we’re already three months in.

Picture it: You have a rough day at work, so on your way home you stop into a swanky boutique and buy a dress that’s cute and almost, sort-of fits.

Or you’re on the couch, watching a Gilmore Girls re-run and mindlessly adding things to your Amazon cart, hitting “ship” before you know what’s happened.

“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” – Lucille Ball

The truth about life for every single one of us is that in the beginning, the middle and end, the only person we’ll ever have consistently by our side is ourselves.

That’s why we have to be good to ourselves and have our own backs.

Marlene Dietrich famously said, “It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Now that social media has been in most of our lives for over a decade, longer than some of our close “real-life” friendships, a whole lot of people are wondering why they’re still connected to people who quite frankly aren’t in their real lives for a reason.

We’re only human, so when we don’t get something we have our hearts set on, something doesn’t go our way or someone doesn’t want us, it’s natural to feel disappointed or bad about ourselves.

“What’s wrong with me?” We may wonder. “Why not me?”

But, what if every time we experienced rejection, we could know we’re being redirected toward something better?

1. You don’t have to endlessly search Open Table to find an available reservation. Or start your dinner at 10 p.m. (and practically sleep through the meal) because it was the only time your favorite restaurant had free.

2. You don’t have to get stuck with an expensive prix fixe meal. Why is it that on Valentine’s Day, restaurants only offer prix fixe options?!

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and while it certainly is a celebratory time for some (we’re looking at you, new lovebirds!), for others, it’s a day they wish would just go away.

After all, if you’re in a relationship or married, there’s expectation to “feel all the feels” and do something extra special on this one specific day of the year. No pressure or anything!

You really are wonderful. And we don’t mean that in a “you’re really wonderful, but here’s how you could change” sort of way.

Nope, you’re 100 percent wonderful, right now, at this very moment. No buts about it.

And there’s more: You are beautiful, you are smart, you are kind and you are wonderful.
