I love a good quote. They help to focus my mind so I can gain clarity and either enhance or change my mindset.
Quotes come in all shapes and sizes and cover a multitude of situations and circumstances. No matter how you are feeling (anxious, stressed, worried, self-conscious, happy, excited etc.) there is a quote or saying that will help you to create a positive mindset around that situation.
They can be positive, thought-provoking, mentally uplifting, motivational or inspirational and can give you a different perspective on your situation or thoughts.
I keep quotes in a box and reach for one when I need some inspiration. I also have some on Post-it notes around me when I’m working.
Hop over to my Facebook page where you will find weekly motivational and thought-provoking quotes and sayings.
