I came across an interesting post a few weeks ago by Dr. Cortney Warren. It was the title that caught my attention: "Harvard psychologist: If you use any of these 9 phrases every day, you're more emotionally resilient than most." It's worth a read. Please don't misunderstand - if you are not necessarily an emotionally resilient person, uttering these phrases won't make you more resilient. Rather, these 9 phrases are more frequently used by those individuals who are more resilient than their peers.
Here are the 9 phrases:
1. "I can get through this."
2. "I'm not going to let myself be a victim."
3. "Life is hard."
4. "This, too, shall pass."
5. "What can I learn from this?"
6. "I need some time."
7. "I still have things to be grateful for."
8. "It is what it is."
9. "I'm letting this go."
I was somewhat gratified (maybe relieved is a better word) to realize that I've used at least a few of these phrases a few times in the last week or so. How about you?
