A lot of us struggle at this time of year, for one reason or another. For me it’s the colder, damper weather that increases my pain levels, which depletes any energy reserves I’d built up over the summer, warmer months, when my pain is usually less. For others, Christmas and the holidays are hard. Whatever the reason, something that can inspire you is to read motivational stories and quotes. I just bought a book at our very own Galiano Island Bookstore, called “In an Instant”, by Kim Mooney, that is comprised of stories of resilience and courage. Quoted from the back cover: “Being resilient reminded them that despite that tragic instant, their lives were worth living and they would find a path forward where the sun would shine again,” reminds us that we all have the strength within us waiting to be found, nurtured and encouraged to grow, to get through life’s struggles.
Below are 12 inspirational quotes about mental health in general. I hope some of them resonate with you and inspire you to find the courage within you to grow into the person you are meant to be.
