[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ 50 Encouraging Things to Say to Yourself



Marin Psychologist Blog
We all need a bit of encouragement and inspiration sometimes.  In my therapy practice, some of the most common problems I see are clients being hard on themselves, getting caught up in negative thought cycles, not speaking up for themselves, avoiding doing the healthy things, or being scared to feel.  It is important to learn to be a good coach and a good parent to yourself.  If you never had a good parent who understood and encouraged you, you may not know where to start.  Here are some encouraging words you can use.  Pick your favorite ones and pin them on an inspiration board, put stickies on your fridge, or make a flashcard to carry with you so you can use it in times of stress.
