“I Can Handle This”
When you say ‘I can handle this’, it’s because you know you’re a capable person. You’ve faced difficulties before and managed them successfully. It’s a helpful phrase to tell yourself when faced with a challenge – simply thinking it can loosen your knots and summon all your strengths.
“This Too Shall Pass”
In the face of adversity, repeating ‘this too shall pass’ can provide a source of solace because it’s a reminder that every difficult moment is transient and will eventually end. It’s a way of helping yourself relax and concentrate, knowing that difficult moments will soon come to an end and be replaced by more favorable circumstances.

“I Am In Control Of My Thoughts And Emotions”
Noting you are in control of your thinking and emotions also helps. The realization – I get to choose how I react to situations – can empower you, rather than allow things to get on top of you. If you can notice you are in charge, it can allow you to manage how you feel more effectively. Noting what you are feeling can help to guide how you feel toward your goals. Self-awareness such as this can help you to stay centered.
“I’m Okay With Not Being Perfect”
Being able to accept the fact that you’re not perfect and that others are not perfect, too, is a sign that you are kind to yourself and have realistic expectations. No one is truly flawless, and there is no need to live as though you are flawless. If you accept your faults, then you are able to do your best without being paralyzed by the thought of failing.
“I Am Enough Just As I Am”
This idea that ‘I am enough as I am’ is self-acceptance. You see your value – you acknowledge your worth without needing to have to do or prove anything. This is the essence of self-acceptance – self-respect and self-care go hand-in-hand and are contingent upon self-acceptance. With self-acceptance, you are starting from a strong foundation, a valuable place of being enough for who you are. Self-acceptance is freedom.
“I Will Get Through This, One Step At A Time”
Recognizing that you can tackle challenges by practicing coping with them in bite-sized chunks demonstrates persistence and patience. It demonstrates that you are approaching the problem in stages rather than being discouraged by the macro perspective of it all. By approaching problems one step at a time, you are taking things one day at a time, one hurdle at a time, and you are on your way to independence and self-trust.
“I’m Grateful For What I Have”
You express gratitude because you are committed to finding the good things in your life every day and connecting with them — even when you feel like you are facing adversity head on. Expressing gratitude by incorporating it into your words lifts you up and helps you with your mood and overall well-being. When you are feeling down and out, being grateful helps you stay balanced and hopeful.
