Sometimes life can be a little rough. 

Whether it’s overwhelming schoolwork or random problems popping up, sometimes you just need a hot second to feel bad for yourself in order to move on and accomplish great things. 

Here’s the perfect breakup song for you to listen to while dramatically looking out the window on a rainy day. But don’t forget to keep moving forward after you give yourself that self-care time. 

 

Libra (September 23 – October 23) 

Remember that it’s just a bad day — not a bad life. Don’t let your negative mindset overwhelm you. Try to think about three good things that happened during the day before you go to sleep and three ways to make today a good day every time you wake up.

Song of the week: “Someone Like You” by Adele

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
