Words of Encouragement for Courage & Strength When You Need It: Things to Say to Yourself

1. I can’t control everything that happens to me, but I can control the way I respond to what happens. In my response is my power.

2. I am the guardian of my mind, body, and soul. I protect myself from negativity. No darkness can dim my light.

3. I am always doing my best, and my best is always getting better.

4. I take my life one step at a time. My next step doesn’t need to be a big one.

5. I don’t need to have all the answers. I have the courage to honor the questions before the answers come.

6. With enough time, effort, and dedication I can learn what I need to succeed.

7. I am strong enough and wise enough to grow from my pain.

8. I can use my mind to generate the feelings I want more of.

9. My dreams are possible and I am capable of living into them.

10. I am more than my small thoughts. I am more than fear and worry. I am so much more.

11. With enough faith, action, and love I can beat doubt, defiance, and division.

12. Reality is bendable to my will. I am responsible for the reality I choose to participate in.

13. I can create real, positive change no matter my current situation.

14. All the resources I need to win are within.

15. I am capable of more than I can even dream.

16. My worth is immeasurable.

17. The purpose of my life is to live — freely, vibrantly, joyously, lovingly.

You’re more than a body, more than a mind. You’re a soul full of stardust and mystery and sometimes that looks and feels a lot like darkness.

    I had to take a brother who was down for about three months, after that I was in a car wreck and broke my sternum, had to get my daughter to looked after him. All the while I’m still taking take of myself, then cancer came back after 22 years with one of my sisters🥹😢😭! Helping with her and this morning going to the hospital with the love of my life😩🥺😢😭! I know God is not allowing all of this nothing! I know there’s a PURPOSE! I have to keep telling myself, Tricia, you’re not alone! He’s there ALL THE WHILE🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾! Praising, Pressing, Praying, and Pushing while The Lord is Pulling me THROUGH it all👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾!
    I want to encourage all of you, no matter what’s going on in your life, God has not forgotten and This Too Shall Pass in Jesus’ will, Amen🙏🏾

    That last one was eerie, something about feeling and looking like darkness, thank God I’m a child of the King and his light shines within me. Amen
    I liked the 1st one about not being able to control what happens to me but choosing my reaction to what happens to me, that’s where the power is.

    I am grateful for my family. I was going through life challenges and don’t know what to do anymore.
    I sat myself down and I started telling myself God is bigger than any situations. I am being encouraged for reading a couple of the word of encouragement on this page and that made me feel a bit relieved.
