Ways to Use Inspirational Quotes Every Day
#1. Write them in your journal or daily planner
Do you keep a daily journal or a daily planner? If no, you totally should.
In your planner, you can write your favorite quotes in the margins or on your days off. Some panners, like my Slay Your Goals Planner already have motivational quotes on every page.
Or if you keep a journal, you can complete every journal entry with an inspirational quote. This works perfectly for bullet journals too.

When you’re having a bad day and need to feel better, sometimes all you need is an inspirational quote that makes you smile.
Plus, with quotes for every day of the year, you can easily find the perfect one online.
#2. Speak them to yourself as positive affirmations
An affirmation is a short positive statement that helps you to think more positively.
Anytime you’re dealing with a negative mindset or trying to stop negative self-talk, you can use an affirmation to defeat it.
Plus, you can use affirmations for success to change your mindset about anything and everything, including your money mindset. So many people have negative beliefs about finances, love or even relationships.
Here are a few quotes that are perfect affirmations:
- “More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.” —
- “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible!'” — Audrey Hepburn
- “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” — John D. Rockefeller
- “You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” — Kathryn Stockett
Brighten your day and reinforce positive thinking by using quotes as positive affirmations.
#3. Share them on social media to inspire others
The best thing about quotes is that they were meant to be shared with others!
Don’t keep an inspirational quote all to yourself, but share it with your friends, followers and the world on social media.
That means repinning quotes that inspire and motivate on Pinterest, retweeting positive tweets and sharing any inspirational quotes on Facebook.
Social media has so many negative impacts on our mental health, why not be the person sharing positivity instead?
Plus, if you’re a blogger or business owner, a part of your social media strategy could include sharing relevant quotes. You can even create your own inspirational quote graphics using a tool like Canva.
#4. Focus on them during your meditation or reflection time
Do you meditate daily or what to start? Don’t let the word meditation scare you.
In very simple terms, meditation is all about focusing on one thing at a time. For you that can be a quote that you love, a quote with a message you need to receive.
For example, struggling with feelings of discontent and unhappiness, then find a quote about being positive no matter what, and meditate (aka focus on it) daily until you start accepting it.
If meditation is not for you, instead focus on a quote during your self-reflection time. You know that 5 or so minutes every day when you go over everything you’ve accomplished and still need to do.
Maybe you’re anxious and feel like you’re not making progress, use inspirational quotes like:
- “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out” — Robert Collier
- “It doesn’t matter how slowly you go so long as you don’t stop.” — Confucious
- “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” — Lao Tzu

#5. Write them on post-it notes as positive reminders
The power that comes from using inspirational quotes every day is in being reminded of their message. In seeing it over and over again, until it sinks deep into your soal and you remember it.
There’s no better way to do this in your home or office, than with post-it notes! Plus, since all you need is a stack of post-its and a pen, it’s a cheap way to accent any space.
With your favorite inspirational quotes, grab a pen and start writing. You can leave them as reminders for yourself or someone else.

Get creative and find places you need your quote the most.
#6. Use quotes to decorate your vision or dream board
There are so many types of boards you can create to inspire your life. From vision boards and dreams boards, even to goal and action boards.
Have you created a vision board or dream board for your life? You really should!
The basics of these types of boards are that they’re a place for you to visualize where you want to be and to create a visual representation of your dreams and goals.
Vision or dream boards can be physical or digitally created with an online graphic design tool. Personally, I find creating a physical vision board to be a powerful experience.

That means using inspirational quotes to create backgrounds for your computer, phone or tablet.
Don’t worry, this isn’t complicated at all. You can design beautiful backgrounds using free tools like Adobe Express’s Free Wallpaper Maker or Canva’s Wallpaper Maker.

#8. Read quotes for a quick motivational boost
Any time you’re having a bad day or even just looking for ways to get motivated, read a quote!
Yup, using quotes every day is my go-to solution for feeling unmotivated and lazy. The entire reason I have so many blog posts on this site about quotes is that they’re all for me.
I’ve found that if I start my day out with positivity, I carry it with me through the day. And if I end my day with an inspirational quote, I go to bed feeling accomplished about the day.
So any time you’re feeling a certain way, find a quote that fits your circumstance or challenge and read it. You might even have to read a few, but it works!

#9. Make quotes as your own personal mantra
Do you have your own personal brand mantra? You should, like affirmations they are incredibly powerful use for quotes.
A personal mantra simple yet powerful statement that embodies what you stand for, who you are or even your mission.
I’m sure you’re no stranger to concepts like mission, vision, and values. How businesses usually create these all incompassing statements that represent the essence of who they are.
You don’t need to be an entrepreneur to use a personal brand mantra either. It works for businesses, and it can work for your personal life too.
Find a short line of a quote that you feel represents your “personal brand” and use it as your mantra. For this, you can also find lines from your favorite song, that counts as a quote too.
You could even take this farther and incorporate an inspirational quote in your personal mission statement.
#10. Use quotes to personalize gifts and hand-written cards
Although it’s a big old-fashioned, everyone loves receiving hand-written cards or personalized gifts.
With an inspirational quote, you can add a personal touch to a birthday, anniversary or thank you card.
Trust me, nothing is as powerful as the perfectly selected quote that says I love and appreciate you.
