One tool we can use to enhance our mental well-being and mood is positive quotes. These short sayings could help you feel more positive about your life, be more productive at work, or even brighten a seemingly gloomy day. It is true, though, that certain quotes have a stronger impact than others.
“It’s easy to believe motivation is a feeling that just happens to hit us, randomly, like a bolt of lighting,” says Melanie Shmois, a cognitive behavioral therapist in Western Reserve Counseling, in Avon Lake, Ohio. “But the truth is motivation isn’t a feeling. Rather, it’s a manifestation of thought, and you can create it by adjusting your mindset.” The challenge is figuring out what sort of mindset you need to cultivate motivation. For some, the right mindset involves setting goals, but that won’t necessarily work for someone who finds it challenging to connect actions with results, particularly if the results can’t be seen immediately (like weight loss or earning a degree).
