I know many of us are feeling worried and believe me when I tell you that you’re not alone. People the world over are feeling the same way as you, and it’s so easy to fall prey to fear, panic or anxiety with everything that’s happening in our world today.
And it’s really easy to think how lovely it would be to say in bed, hide under the covers and wait until it all goes away. I have lots of days when I’d just like to hide under my covers! Let’s be honest, it isn’t surprising that we sometimes think this is all we can do.
But it’s not.
We do what we can to protect ourselves and our loved ones physically, but there are other things we can do to to stay strong and prevent our fear and anxiety from poisoning us from within.
Motivational and inspirational quotes have, over time been proven to be beneficial in giving hope or opening the door to a mindset that reminds you that ‘you’ve got this.’
Words are one of the most powerful forces available to us. Words we speak aloud or those we speak to ourselves. They have the power and energy to heal or harm. And in times of trouble, we need to be using them to lift us up, to heal, to help.
Here’s 30 Stay Strong quotes for times of crises. You can use them to tap into your inner strength to better see you through troubling times.
This hell on earth is unlike anything that’s ever taken place. Who knows when it will end, or if it ever will? We might all be in for a lot of pain in the near future, so we need to be strong and we need to stick together. There’s no telling how bad things will get

There you have it. Never underestimate the effect and power of words and quotes. They can work magic in your life. Remember repetition creates patterns for the subconscious to operate from. Say and think something often enough, even if it’s not true and before too long you will begin to believe it. And then act from it.
Stay safe and well and remember to encourage one another. We are all in this together and hopefully we begin to see more fully the connection we all share.
