20 Positive Affirmations for Tough Times

Whether you like it or not, you’ll face tough times at some points in life.

It’s just part of life.

Tough times vary in forms, severity and duration.

How we handle tough times is way more important than the tough times themselves.

While some people crumble under the weight of their challenges, some use it as an opportunity to build strength and develop courage.

One of the ways to handle tough times is by staying positive, and staying positive requires you to speak positively.

Some people think positive affirmations are cheesy.

They wonder how chanting good words can help you in any way.

I’d say those people don’t understand the power of words.

There’s power in spoken words!

Even the Bible says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21

Not only will confessing positive affirmations help you to stay positive, with time, you get to believe those positive words.

Just as negative words can pull you down, positive words can lift you up.

If you want to stay positive during life tough times, here are 20 positive affirmations to help you:
