Mental health inspirational short sentences

The short mental health inspirational sentences that can really help you overcome emotional depression are never empty chicken soups such as "Go for it" or "You are the best", but more than a dozen sentences that have been verified by clinical psychological consultation and can be used by ordinary people in daily life. There is no pressure of forced inspiration. Each sentence touches the core logic of emotional self-help, helping you to take an extra breath when you are struggling, internally consumed, or unable to walk.

When I worked as an assistant in a consulting room before, I saw too many visitors who posted chicken soup online that made them even more anxious. A girl who had stayed at home naked for three months posted the message "You are already at your best age. You have to work hard to shine." She hugged the pillow and cried for half an hour. She felt that her life was simply wasted.； A young man who had just lost his love told him, "You have to be a calm adult." Even though he was in terrible pain, he still managed to go to work. In the end, his fever reached 39 degrees before he dared to ask for leave.

To be truly useful, you must first allow yourself to be "bad". For example, "I am good the way I am now." Humanistic counselors will regard this sentence as the starting point for self-acceptance. They believe that only by first accepting the current state can people have the motivation to change. ； Counselors from the cognitive behavioral school will feel that this sentence is a direct refutation of the core belief in your mind that "I must be perfect to be worthy of being loved." You don't need to wait for you to become thinner, better, or earn more money, you are good enough now. Oh, by the way, I saw that girl who resigned naked and later set this sentence as a lock screen. In the fourth month of her unemployment, she went to Yunnan for a tour, and came back for an interview to join the cultural and creative company she had always wanted to go to. On the first day of employment, she sent me a message saying that when the lock screen popped up, she almost cried on the subway.

There is also a sentence that many visitors have said "saved half their lives": "Emotions are not good or bad, I am just experiencing the feeling of the moment." Last time, there was a young man with social anxiety who had to recite this sentence silently three times in the bathroom before speaking in every department meeting. Now he actually dared to sign up for monthly sharing. What’s interesting is that different schools have quite different views on this sentence: Psychoanalytically oriented counselors will feel that allowing emotions to flow is much healthier than forcibly suppressing them. Sooner or later, suppressed emotions will turn into insomnia and nodules to come to you. ； However, researchers in positive psychology will also remind you not to indulge in negative emotions with this sentence. Do what you should do after experiencing it, and don’t get stuck in it and be unable to get out.

Don’t think these words have to be too high-spirited. The one I use most often is “that’s it for now, let’s eat first.” Last week, a friend had a score of 0.1 points in the noodle test. She cried at home all afternoon. I didn’t say anything, so I sent her this sentence. Half an hour later, she took a bowl of snail noodles with fried eggs and gave it to me and said, “Damn, the boss put too much coriander, but it’s really fragrant.” Don't tell me, this sentence is really the best way to pull you out of catastrophic thinking - you were originally thinking, "Is this going to be the end of my life?" When you saw this sentence, you suddenly reacted, oh, I haven't eaten yet, I'll finish eating first. Some people may think that this is "spoilt", but counselors of the existential school support this approach: first anchor the most basic physiological needs of the present, so that you can have spare energy to think about the future. There is no need to recover after a fall, and you just need a bowl of hot rice to recharge your batteries temporarily.

If you are stuck in procrastination and can't move, then you must remember this sentence: "Do it for 5 minutes first, and if it doesn't work, quit." I had a visitor who was studying for the postgraduate entrance examination in World War II. I was terrified at the thought of studying for 10 hours a day. I lay in bed scrolling on my phone until early in the morning, scolding myself for being useless. Later, I tried to use this sentence. Every time I said to myself, "Just memorize 5 words, and then continue to play after memorizing." Eight times out of ten, after memorizing 5 words, I would continue to memorize for half an hour. Even if I really couldn't learn, I wouldn't attack myself anymore. Anyway, I just quit if it doesn't work. Behavioral activation therapy recognizes the logic of starting in small steps. Some scholars have suggested that this approach of lowering self-requirements will actually improve your long-term execution ability. After all, you don’t have to force yourself to achieve perfect scores from the beginning. You have already won as soon as you start.

Of course, there are also many people who say, "These words are useless. They understand the truth but just can't do it." The opinions in the industry are also different: some consultants will suggest that you set your favorite short sentences as mobile phone wallpapers, write them on notes and stick them on the refrigerator. Read them every time you see them, and they will gradually be internalized into your subconscious.； Some counselors think that there is no need to memorize it at all. When you really get emotional, you can use whichever sentence you can think of. Even if you can't remember a sentence, it's no problem at all to find a place where no one is around to cry, have a good meal, and go for a couple of runs.

In fact, there are no omnipotent inspirational sentences. To put it bluntly, these words are just a step for yourself. You don’t have to force yourself to climb out of the trough immediately, and you don’t have to be a “positive” person. It’s good enough to be able to breathe more by relying on these words and take one more step on the difficult road.

Oh yes, I will give you one last sentence that I have kept privately for a long time: "The sky won't fall, even if it does, there will still be tall people holding it up. ”
