After a fumbling to get your key in the door, you trudge inside and collapse on the couch. Feeling completely out of control, you wonder if you'll ever get the reigns back in line again.

If you needed a sign of reassurance, here it is.

Whether you're falling behind in school, fighting a personal battle, overloaded by work or can't seem to find a solution to a problem- this too shall pass.

You're only human. You often forget this. Though it seems like some battles may never pass, you will discover that you have to continually remind yourself that this too shall pass.

Help yourself out. If something motivates or inspires you, write it down and hang it up. Cover your mirrors in sticky notes so you remember that you are your own number one cheerleader.

Take breaks, you really do deserve them. Go for a run, take a nap, bake some cupcakes or simply watch some TV. You're still only human. You cannot be a fighter 24/7.

Face your problems head on. If you repeatedly avoid the issue, it will not go away. The sooner you solve the conflict, write the paper or do the workout, the sooner it goes away for good.

Get some sleep. If you're staying awake all night to finish things, you will not be awake enough to take on the new day tomorrow.

Help others. Think about how much others have helped you in the past. When you can give back to others for being there for you, do so.

Give yourself time for fun. Go to the party, eat out or see a movie. Life is too short to not make some time for fun activities.

Reward yourself. You finally jumped a huge hurdle, so buy yourself a cookie, a new pair of pants or those snazzy sneakers you saw at the mall last week.

Remember that nothing is forever. People, situations and your bag of McDonald's fries- none of them are forever. Some things seem like they'll never go away, but you must remember that at some point, they must.

When you need a little encouragement, remember one thing.

This too shall pass.
