I think we’re all going through a little bit of a hard time right now, amirite? I mean, how many of us have had to go through extended quarantines and isolation? How many of us have lost jobs, savings, hope, family and so much more in the last 18 months.

These are rough times for everyone.

I thought it would be a perfect time to put together a list of 50 words of encouragement to help you get through this time and any other tough time you may be going through right now.

I know sometimes it’s hard to actually believe when someone tells you “things will be ok” but the truth of the matter is, things will be ok! You just have to believe.

Besides me reading words of encouragement all the time (and writing them on inspirational quotes posters), I not only let them sink in hard but every time I have a negative thought I think of 3 positive things.

This little exercise really helps me get through some difficult and stressful times. Please try it next time you have some negative thoughts. Imagine if you have 10 negative thoughts in one day, you’ve just replaced them with 30 positive ones! How awesome is that?
