Give Yourself A Pep Talk

Give yourself a pep talk! What you tell yourself will either tear you down or lift you up! ~ Encourage Yourself Quotes

We talk to ourselves all the time. We often think, "This is too much, I can't do this anymore." "I can't deal with this ongoing issue." "It's just one thing after another." When we think like this we get discouraged!

However, we can also give ourselves a pep talk. We can say, "I can handle this! The Lord will give me the strength to do it." "I am strong in the LORD!"

We all can get tired and distressed if we let negative thoughts roll around in our minds. But there's another way to handle this.

When we feel tired and distressed we can do like David in our Bible verse today. The Bible verse says, "David was greatly distressed!" He was having a very bad day! But the verse goes on to say, "David encouraged himself in the Lord." (see 1 Samuel 30:6)

We all get tired and discouraged at times. When we do we can give ourselves a pep talk. Our thoughts and words to ourselves will either tear us down or lift us up. The choice is ours!
