There is always going to be times in your life when things are hard, it can be a range of different things, it could be your struggling for work, you could be struggling with your mental health, you generally might just be having a tough time, but these things happen in everyones lives at one point or another and I think it's important to tell yourself that it is ok.
Tough times come and go, but I feel like there is some things that you should remind yourself of because it's so easy to get sidetracked by the bad things surrounding you rather than the positive things that surround you.
1.Your not alone - Your not going to be the only person in the world going through a hard time, just surround yourself with positive people and close friends and they will help you through it.
2. You only have to ask - There are a few people in my life that I know 100% I can call on whenever I need them. The close people around you will always be there for you, so, even if it's just to go around to have a cup of tea, they will be always be there for you.
3. It is ok to cry - Now this is one in which I must take into consideration, I don't know why but I always find if I'm upset about something and I cry it makes me seem weak or that I can't handle things. This is not true, sometimes all it takes is for you to have cry and a glass of wine with the girls to make you feel better about a situation or to put you in a bettie frame of mind.
4. Things will soon get better - Most of the time the situation you are in is only for a short period of time, most things in life are easily changed, nothing in life is permanent, if you are unhappy about something or something is getting you down, be it, your mental state, a job or a relationship, change it. Change is something in which everyone should welcome with open arms.
I've wanted to write a post like this for a while, it's something which right over the past few months would have helped me.
Is there anything you tell yourself when things are hard? Leave a comment below :)

I always like the phrase, "this too shall pass." Whether good or bad, every moment is fleeting so we should be grateful for every second we're alive. :]

Lovely post. I definitely tell myself that bad times can't last forever just the same as good times. It makes me appreciate it more when things are going good.
