Sometimes we see our friends and loved ones in pain and don’t know what to say or how to help. Sometimes when things are tough we need a little help ourselves to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Often it’s the simplest things that get us through like an inspirational quote or affirmation that speaks to us on a deeper level.

Most of us are used to doing a lot of things to keep our bodies healthy but we cannot forget to put the same effort into keeping our minds healthy.
