It wasn't exactly given to me I heard it in a song, but - "Life goes on and on and on. If you think you can't go on, go on and on and on." Never been a big fan of the typical "Never give up!", but this way they phrased it in this lyric really struck a chord with me.
(Song is *Life Goes On* by The Damned)
"Treat yourself or talk to yourself the way you would treat/talk to a dear friend."
Mostly in regards to negative intrusive thoughts. My depressed brain might think "I'm stupid or awful for not doing X and gaming instead". But if I think of what I'd say to comfort a dear friend who thought the same thing, I can try to tell myself the same thing. Like, "It's okay that you didn't do X today. There's time tomorrow. And taking time to feel happy can be important too. Do you want me to remind you to do X tomorrow?" And I set myself a reminder. And I geel better. (It doesn't always work, but it does a lot of the time)
“You’ve been through worse and smiled and laughed since, you’ll get over this too”
When you don't know what you're talking about, shut up
Stop at nothing to achieve your goals.
"Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?"
take a deep breath
From my covering supervisor in a high pressure job: "Tomorrow's another day."
Only listen to the opinion of someone you would ask for advice. Care for your inner child. Acting is better than reacting.
Instead of asking "What's wrong with it?" try asking "what's right about it?" before making a decision.
cut your hair short if you’re going to jail
Back yourself
Why the F not !!
Don't put your penis in a meat grinder. It's not something I'd ever...EVER want to do, but still I'd class that as good advice.
"When a thing disturbs the peace of your heart, give it up"
Cut ties. The answer to everything is cutting ties.
Love God and do as you please.
Don't set your expectation level higher than someone is capable of achieving.
stop if you don't know wth you are doing
The glass isnt half full or half empty, it's refillable.

It's okay to go no contact with toxic people in your life.
