Last updated by Lauren Hart

“Calm down. Breathe. I’m here and it’s not impossible.” These are the words I share when the pressure is too much and everything seems to be spinning out of control. Words don’t solve everything, not right away, but they do help and above all, they help to soothe, put a smile on your face, and restore your confidence. When times are tough, we all need a message of encouragement, like a big hug of words. Here’s something to help you.

Messages Of Encouragement For Difficult Times. Because Words Are Powerful 🪄

9 comforting messages of encouragement

When we’re going through a difficult time, it’s almost impossible to take a step back from what we’re going through. It’s often negativity that takes precedence and pushes us ➡️ toward the bottom of the abyss. A message of encouragement that you share or repeat to yourself is a kind of hope, a helping hand, except that it’s not always easy to find the right words (especially in troubled times), but this should help.

✨ “Now it’s too late to go back. But if you can’t change the beginning, you can always make up the ending.”

✨ “You’re searching and don’t really understand what’s happening to you, but there’s bound to be something to come out of this situation. And probably even something positive. Keep hope, have confidence in yourself, and have an open mind.”

✨ “Mistakes, losses, and failures don’t define you. You’re not worse than anyone else, quite the opposite! You don’t see the positive in yourself, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.”

5 famous quotes to lift your spirits

  • “We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails”" Dolly Parton
  • “It’s never too late to become what you could have been.” George Eliot
  • “It doesn’t matter if you advance slowly, as long as you don’t stop.” Confucius
  • “Success isn’t final, failure isn’t fatal, it’s the courage to go on that counts.” Winston Churchill
  • “Our doubts are traitors and rob us of the good we could often gain because we’re afraid to try.” Shakespeare

The power of words for our brain

The words you send to your loved ones or repeat to yourself is very important. Indeed, they leave an imprint on your brain because they transmit emotions. As such, they strengthen social ties, but they also have the power to trigger the thinking and imagination that will enable you to keep moving forward. If hurtful words make us suffer and sometimes even leave scars on us, so do words of encouragement and words of love or love letters. They act like plasters for our souls and make our backs grow wings. So words are never in vain!

Beyond words

In difficult times, everyday life can sometimes take a back seat. So don’t hesitate, in addition to your message of encouragement, to offer your help, and don’t be too insistent if the person refuses. Perhaps they don’t want to see anyone. If it’s you who’s in a bad way, ask for help from someone you trust, someone whose judgment you won’t fear. Not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by daily obligations also helps you to get back on your feet more quickly.

Editor’s note: Words that do good

Words have an almost immediate calming power, they do us good, especially when they come from the heart and from someone we love. Lauren's words are sure to soothe those in need, so don’t hesitate to share them with your loved ones. The words of a psychologist will also ease your pain, as will the words you say during the session. Don’t forget that anything we don’t say is printed on us, so don’t hesitate to make an appointment with a psychologist if you’re going through a difficult time, it’s important...

🤗 Understanding yourself, accepting yourself, being happy... It’s here and now!

5 Techniques To Stop Your Thoughts, I Swear, It Works!

The other night I was in bed, I’d been lying there for a while, but I couldn’t sleep. My thoughts were too intrusive, preventing me from falling asleep. That’s when I decided to look for techniques to stop my thoughts because I found that the factory in my head is running a bit too fast. Whether it’s to fall asleep more quickly or during the day to relieve the pressure and anxiety, I’ve found these techniques to be quite effective. So I’ll share with you my 5 techniques to stop your thoughts!

Authority Bias At Work

Have you ever found yourself doing something you thought was stupid, but doing it anyway because your boss told you to? It’s happened to me quite a few times in my professional life. Each time, I didn’t try to dispute it, because I thought “After all, he’s my superior, he knows what he’s doing”. Without realizing it, I was jumping headfirst into the bias of authority. And I bet you’ve been a victim too. Let me explain how it works.

How To Make A Narcissist Fear You?

Now, I know what you’re thinking, scaring a narcissist is impossible, so, let me stop you right there because it’s totally false! Getting these awful manipulators to fear you is no easy challenge, however, there are certain things you can do that will help you turn the tables on them in no time. Letting these abusers know that they’ve met their match is the first important step toward the road to recovery, so I hope you’re ready for the journey. Here are 10 ways to scare a narcissist 😱.

Should You Really Confess Your Feelings?

Who hasn’t had a crush in their life? You know, it’s when you fall for someone and have feelings for them even though you don’t really know them. I’m one of those people who have had lots of crushes, and sometimes I’ve even admitted my feelings. In fact, a recent example was just before I started my relationship with my current partner. I offloaded what I was feeling all of a sudden… I’ll tell you why I did it and how to go about it.

Do Narcissists Regret Hurting People?

From their lack of empathy to their scarily manipulative and controlling streak, narcissists arguably display despicable behavior that simply can’t be condoned. Once these people get their claws into a victim, they become ruthless and have absolutely no regard for the effects their behavior may have on their mental health. Now, as with many syndromes, nothing is black and white with these types of personality disorders. In fact, there are certainly many inaccurate theories regarding their relationship with remorse regarding their actions, and that’s why I’m here to set the record straight.

Can A Narcissist Be Faithful?

Narcissists often get bad press, and although many of us try to see the best in most people, in their case, it can be extremely difficult to find. The truth is, folks with this personality disorder don’t exactly have many redeeming qualities that could potentially help to excuse and explain their borderline evil behavior. Plus, when it comes to love, their lack of empathy means they have next to no loyalty, which means many of them often end up cheating on their partners. Ladies, if you are in a relationship with a narcissist, the alarm bells ought to be truly deafening.

"Nobody Likes Me"

Never invited to parties, never listened to or solicited... It feels like you're just an ordinary person, who is pushed aside and has no value. If this is the case, we often end up coming to the sad conclusion that "nobody likes us! But, why do we think this? Now, this thought does not reflect reality, it hides deeper issues that need to be worked on to detach ourselves from this heavy feeling. Everyone deserves to be loved, including us!

My Ex Has Started Calling Me Again! What Should I Do?

We probably all know this scenario only too well. It starts like this, you’re sitting down quietly minding your own business and then suddenly your phone rings, but you weren’t expecting any calls, and it’s past 11pm. The worst is still yet to come because when you look at the caller ID, you notice that it’s your ex; the one you recently cut all contact with. Why is he trying to contact you again? And moreover, should you answer or block all of his calls?

“Social Snacking”: Talk To Strangers For More Happiness!

It’s funny that this topic should have come up in the editorial department because lately, I’ve had a lot of “social snacking” situations that I’d probably have wanted to avoid before. And yet, I’ve found that it does me a world of good and makes my day. If you’ve never heard of “social snacking”, I’ll explain what it is and why it can make us truly happier.

Passive Aggressive Phrases You Don’t Want To Hear Anymore

The grandmother who makes a comment about my body, the lover who congratulates me on having done the housework when I haven’t, the boss who asks me if I’m really happy with my work... These are all situations in which I hear passive-aggressive phrases. And seriously, it’s just hell. There really are words I don’t want to hear anymore in my relationships professionally, romantically, with family, and friends. And I bet you don’t either!
