Life is full of ups and downs. And while the former paint the world in brighter colors, the latter can be quite difficult to go through. But it’s important to remember that whatever it is, this too shall pass, and try to motivate yourself in ways that you know tend to work best. After all, we’re the ones who know whether it’s food or a day at the amusement park that has the power to turn our frown upside down.

One way to motivate yourself is making positive notes to self, and if you’re lacking ideas of what they can entail, you can always browse the ‘Note For Self’ Instagram account for inspiration. On the list below, you will find some positive posts, as shared on the account, which we encourage you to browse, and, of course, upvote your favorites, while you’re at it.

    It’s neat, the bed is clean and has full linens. The only things that give me pause are the floor (if it’s bare concrete might not be much to be done) and the lack of any light other than a shade-less bulb.

    It wasn't about love but property rights, family holdings and political power. Marrying for love is a very modern notion. Loving or even just standing a person was considered a nice, but unneccesary bonus back then.

    But just because they give you effort doesn't mean you are owed replicating it. Its ok to dislike people who want to befriend you. You don't owe anyone any form of relationship.
