Every Friday on The Verywell Mind Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Amy Morin, LCSW, shares the “Friday Fix”—a short episode featuring a quick, actionable tip or exercise to help you manage a specific mental health issue or concern.
Friday Fix: Episode 82
When you’re feeling nervous about something at work, or you’re feeling down for no reason at all, well-timed kind words from someone else can help you feel better.
Those words might cheer you up when you need a boost or calm you down when you’re feeling frazzled. Language has the power to shift your emotional state.
But, there won’t always be someone available with helpful words at the right moment. And in those moments, it’s tough to remind yourself of the kind things you could say to yourself.
That’s why writing yourself a kind letter can be so powerful. Then, you’ll always have some reassuring words at your fingertips.
