Quotes to ponder:

"Take a good look at how you’re talking to yourself and make a conscious effort to stop and correct yourself when you feel you’re going down a negative self-talk track."

"I’ve found being mindful of what I’m taking in during times I’m feeling in a funk can make such an impact on how long I feel stuck."

"Taking time to think about and focus on the good things instead of wallowing permanently on the bad can really help pull you out of a bad spot."
