We all have those days when we wake up feeling less than chipper for no particular reason \u2026 we just feel \u201cblah.\u201d Whenever I\u2019m feeling this way, it can be helpful to read encouraging or uplifting words from others, especially those that focus on keeping a positive mindset<\/a> or capture how I hope to live and\/or view my life. To help me start the day on a positive note, I have a collection of quotes I turn to and read to myself time and time again.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cIt is a serious thing, just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mary Oliver<\/p>\n

2. \u201cResolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Sydney Smith<\/p>\n

3. \u201cWishing you a day of remaining in the moment. Not the past or future or story. Not your thoughts or anxieties or lists. But right here, right now, straight into the center.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Victoria Erickson<\/p>\n

4. \u201cI just don\u2019t think I\u2019m looking for the big moments in life anymore. It\u2019s more the simple ones that make for a beautiful day now. Like the sun rising and the moon dancing and the wind singing and the leaves grooving, and kids laughing and music playing, butterflies twirling, heart-smiles staying \u2026 and me being present to witness all these little beautiful things. This is what makes for a happy and peaceful life, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

\u2014 S.C. Lourie<\/p>\n

5. \u201cIf you can\u2019t run away to a cabin in the woods right now, start small. Make a cup of tea and find a sunset to watch. Turn off your phone and read a book in the bath. Go for a drive and blast some Stevie Nicks. Fight for moments of peace in the midst of the crazy. You can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Brooke Hampton<\/p>\n

6. \u201cDo you get it now? This is your life. Not only your weekends, not only your vacation in three months, not only that big milestone you’ve been waiting for. This is it. Start fully living in the moment and giving meaning to the \u2018mundane.\u2019 This is your greatest adventure after all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Meditate and Love<\/p>\n

7. \u201cSome days, doing \u2018the best we can\u2019 may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn\u2019t perfect on any front \u2014 and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Mister Rogers<\/p>\n

8. \u201cDecide what kind of life you actually want. And then say no to everything that isn’t that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Melanie Mackle<\/p>\n

9. \u201cLet us come alive to the splendor that is all around us and see the beauty in ordinary things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Thomas Merton<\/p>\n

10 \u201cClose your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That\u2019s who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 C. Assad<\/p>\n
