"This Too Shall Pass"

An important life skill that I have personally adopted and now pass on to others is the systematic and deliberate use of positive self-statements when necessary. These can serve as the antidote to those poisonous negative thoughts. Optimally, it's best to use inspirational messages that you can recall from loved ones from your past. I was blessed to have many of these stored in my memory from parents and grandparents. Sometimes these quotes just pop up and I find myself actually speaking their words.
"This Too Shall Pass" is one of my favorites that my mother used to almost always tell me when I came to her struggling with what seemed to be insurmountable difficulties at that particular time. I came here to share this message with you today. I find this statement to be helpful to this very day. Even more importantly, I'm here to claim that this statement is TRUE. As I shared previously, those negative emotions lie to us, blocking our thought process and the ability to come up with solutions to our problems. Clearheaded and calm, we typically can come up with THE ANSWERS or, at least, the means of comforting ourselves.
What are some self-statements that you can use to make it all better for yourself? I'll continue to share mine. But what will be GREAT for YOU will be to call on the MESSAGES from your own past. Who do you still carry with you in your heart and MIND that can add some love and encouragement to your day when you most need it?
