THINGS YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF WHEN YOU’RE HAVING A TOUGH TIME

Download our free Reminders for Hard Days publication.  Our SEL poster contains helpful ways to reframe thoughts during difficult times.  It contains a collection of some of my favorite, inspiring coping statements.    Best of all, this free social emotional learning resource is available not only as a printable poster, but as a video, too!  Be sure to take a look at the Reminders for Hard Days video below by clicking on the “video preview” tab. 

Reminders for Hard Days Positive Affirmations

• A bad day does not equal a bad life… You are not this struggle.
• Not all thoughts are true. (Phew)
• Feelings are not facts… But all your feelings are valid, real, and allowed.
• The only way out is through… DARN IT!
• Your worth is not contingent on circumstances. You are LOVABLE and ENOUGH always. 
• Nothing stays the same. Life guarantees this.
• You can’t be everything to everyone. But you can be true to yourself.
• Be gentle with yourself. And trust your inner voice, strength, and resilience.
• You’re not alone. It’s okay to ask for help… And be vulnerable.
• Focus on the things you can control. Let go of the rest… This is easier said than done.
