6 Ways Inspirational Quotes Can Change Your Day for the Better
Positive inspirational quotes lessen the impact of a negative experience. Use a positive inspirational quote can put things in perspective.
A go-to quote can give you that needed lift. My mom always used Robert Schuller’s quote, “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” She said it so often that I thought she made it up! Let’s face it, everyone will face tough times, whether physical, emotional, financial or whatever. For me, having this go-to quote puts the breaks on my negative emotions spinning out of control
You’re not alone: Inspiration quotes remind us that the thoughts we have are a common experience felt throughout the ages. Your current emotion has been felt, discussed, and written about by others.
Learning opportunities: There is nothing we can’t learn from. Seek out quotes on various topics.
Keep you grounded: Inspirational quotes give a sense of the greater world around us. The thoughts and ideas of others give us wealth beyond money and bring us back to what is important.
Give perspective: Picking up from the previous point, inspirational quotes help us get over the personal setbacks - from illness, loss, or a lack of confidence - we experience from time to time. By making it a habit of reading and writing down your favorite quotes, you can mitigate those downtimes.
How to Use Inspirational Quotes While Walking
“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Before your next walk… pick a quote from the list and … think about it!
Put it on your smartphone notes app and read it back to yourself several times during the walk.
Record what thoughts and feelings get triggered by the quote.
You don’t need to spend every second of your walk immersed with this quote. I’ve found that just “putting it out there” in my consciousness will trigger something at some point during the walk. Often at the very end of the walk, my “breakthrough” insight comes to me. I immediately record my thoughts into my notes app.
