What are the positive effects that quotes have?
We live in a world that has had knowledgeable people that are able to speak life into us and leave a mark on us with their words and inspirational sayings. These sayings have the power to speak life into our minds, bodies and souls or just make us feel empowered or motivated. Have you heard the saying “ Reading brings knowledge and knowledge brings power” by Emma Chase. Well it’s true reading does bring knowledge and when you have knowledge you are able to learn and expand your thoughts to a higher power. It’s amazing to see how our minds truly work. Now I’m not going to pretend that I have always kept a book by my side my whole life lol. I will definitely say while in college I had a change of heart when it comes to reading and recognizing the true power of it. When you go through things that you don’t understand or you are in a moment in your life where you can’t express the hurt or pain you feel, quotes are able to put your feelings and thoughts all in one.
Why do I use self love quotes to help me?
My love for reading self love and self worth quotes started my freshman year at college in 2016. I went through my first breakup during the first semester at school and it hit me really hard when I came home for Christmas break. That’s when I created a Pinterest account and started a board that now has over 3k posts saved on my board. I know you are probably thinking “ dang how many quotes can you have”. Now if you weren’t thinking that. . . then that was awkward lol, so let’s just continue with the scheduled programming. Those quotes and watching several youtube videos regarding breakups and self love, really helped me to start the healing process from that situation. I started to realize who I am, who I want to be and exactly what I want out of life. I was able to see that other people who I didnt even know were going through the same thing I was going through at that moment. I know how it is to be in a hard situation and feel like you are the only person who has gone through it… but that’s far from the truth. Quotes are able to say and mean a lot more than reading a whole paragraph sometimes. Words are power as well and they hold a lot of weight.
How did I incorporate quotes in my life and ways you can too
While being a college student, I had to always make sure I was reading quotes throughout the day to keep my mind and thoughts focused. I wanted to remind myself of my worth and just motivate myself. I decided to use my white board that I used for my assignments and important dates. I also wrote my favorite quote of that week, one goal for the semester and a few positive words to myself. This way I was able to see it all the time when I woke up or just in my room after a class. I also used my dorm fridge to write a quote on the front, so I was able to see something positive there too. Lets just say I was not playing no games when it came to filling my mind with uplifting words and quotes. One thing about me, is that I am really focused when it comes to keeping my mind in a healthy place. So I took this very seriously and it was honestly helping me believe in myself. That’s honestly how you all should be too and never let anyone make you believe anything less than. For my readers who aren’t in the dorm room setting you can still incorporate quotes in your daily lives as well, for example.
- Saving pictures with quotes on them to the homepage or lock screen of your phone.
- Downloading apps dedicated towards self love and motivation quotes.
- Write post it notes filled with quotes around the house, in your car or somewhere at work that you will be able to see.
- Invest and read a book that is filled with self love quotes.
Honestly it’s all about trying and never giving up on the journey that you are on. We all need reminders of our self worth and how important it is to love yourself first. When you love yourself first, that’s when your life starts to come full circle with true happiness.
Where to find good self love quotes
I always want to help others find good resources that have helped me in any kind of way in my life. So with that being said, I made a list of a few resources that I was able to find good quotes pertaining to self love and self worth. Here is my list.
- Brainy Quotes ( Self Love, Self Worth etc.)
- A Google search for “ Self Love Quotes” etc
- Using the “I Am” app on your phone
