Life can feel difficult and overwhelming and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Occasionally, we need a few reminders for those days, and just to get through those bad days.
These reminders and quotes can help find a way to battle through those tough days. So what are the reminders to pick yourself up and remind yourself it’s time to live your best life?
01. Got a problem? There are always solutions
We all have those feelings when something goes wrong, and sometimes we aren’t sure how to fix it. The thing is there will always be a solution. There is no point in losing sleep over it, or getting annoyed, there are a few easy ways to solve the problem:
- take a step away
- take a deep breath
- look at different ways to approach the problem
- try again.
02. You’re more than just the way you look
There are so many amazing things that make you the person you are. I don’t always have the best self confidence, especially when it comes to the way that I look and feel, however, what makes you, you? Things such as:
- your heart and soul
- your kindness
- your compassion.
All of these things make you the most amazing person.

03. Making mistakes makes you human
No one is perfect, we all make mistakes on a daily basis, but sometimes we need that reminder that it is okay to make those mistakes. We can learn from those mistakes, grow as a human being, assess where you went wrong, what you can do differently and move forward.
Do not let people make you feel guilty for making mistakes.
04. Share your thoughts
There are times when we just need to share what is going on in our head. Once we’ve put out there how we are feeling, it could be that you’re not actually alone. I’ve been making sure to voice exactly how I’ve been feeling lately, especially when it comes to my mental health and putting my emotions out there can actually help support others.
If you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone, writing it down could help. Have a safe space such as a journal, or a notebook, to be open and honest with your thoughts.
05. Don’t give up
We all have dreams, of course there will be people telling you, they will remain dreams, but you can do this. Everyday wake up with the reminder that you can do whatever you put your mind to. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it in the end.
When you have days when you feel like giving up, there are a few things you can do like:
- take a break
- remind yourself why you started
- ask for help.

Thank you for sharing this, I needed to read this today! xx
I think everyone needs a read of this post as quite honestly, it can be so overwhelming at times. I always try to take a step back, breathe, take a moment to think of a different approach and then go back to whatever is stressing me out. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely, really helpful post! Xo

There’s always a solution – this is a good one for me! When times are a bit tough, I always have to remind myself that there is a way out of it all!

I love these, particularly Number 4 which is particularly pertinent to me at the moment. I tend to express my emotions in my paintings!
Lovely post! I liked point no.3 the most. Making mistakes makes you human. It proves that a person must not be judge for their mistakes. People always learn from their experiences.
I love all of these reminders and this is a great post to read on a bad mental health day x
Love this! I definitely struggle with self confidence in terms of my appearance and I really needed to hear that today. Thank you so much for sharing x
Thank you for sharing this Amy! I’ve been super overwhelmed lately. It’s always so helpful to take a step back and look for a different approach!
What a beautiful post! It’s so important to remind ourselves that there’s always a solution and that it’s okay to take a break. Thank you for this reminder!
When I’m overwhelmed I first need to switch off, then I need to prioritise and list what I need to do so I can stop getting overwhelmed by it!
Great reminders that we should all have in mind. All of them are so simple as thoughts but we all tend to be carried away and forget them from time to time. Thank you for this post! You started my day the right way 🙂
Great reminders. Life has felt very overwhelming for me these past 2 weeks, I’ve been so stressed, so definitely needed these reminders!
Great reminders, we are human and we will make mistakes. We can’t stress over it. Thank you for sharing them!
This is such a helpful post. It is so easy to get overwhelmed and really hard to sometimes make changes to feel better. Thank you for sharing.

I definitely have had problems in the past with #3 and thought I had to be perfect and know the answers to everything. It’s only recently that I’ve come to terms with this. Thanks for sharing.
I love the one about making mistakes. It’s so natural to beat yourself up when things go wrong without thinking about the fact we all make mistakes and things sometimes take more effort. I don’t think a lot of things would be quite as enjoyable if we didn’t fail a couple of times before getting there x
This is an amazing post. Really productive reminders, super helpful. Thanks
Great post and words of encouragement. These are wonderful reminders and things I like to share with others too. Really appreciated your post.

Such a great post Amie! I love the first section about there always being solutions. I think taking time out can be a massive healer.

This post will definitely be my new ‘go-to’ affirmation post! Thank you
1 is the best. Step away when something goes wrong. 4 is difficult because once you do people start depicting you. Great post and helpful for all those who need to hear it time and again. Xx

I love this post. It took me a long time to realise number 2 but the last few years I haven’t worried about my image so much as who I am as a person.
This is such an important post, thank you for sharing.
We are all too hard on ourselves and need to think kinder thoughts (easier said than done)! Your suggestions are practical and helpful.
