Why Do We Like Spring Quotes?

Inspirational quotes are everywhere—even during those dark winter months—and while some folks are more eager to embrace them than others, the science is in their favor. Experts suggest that motivational sayings lend themselves to a level of self-discipline that some have difficulty reaching on their own.

“There’s a little bit of implicit coaching that’s happening when you’re reading it," psychologist and motivation expertJonathan Fader, PhD, once told Fast Money. "It’s building that self-efficacy in that kind of dialogue that you’re having with yourself."

Additionally, a 2018 study found that the use of quotes can even help patients living with chronic disorders improve their self-esteem. So if you ever feel strange or corny about indulging in these sayings, just remember there really is some power behind them. Now, spring forward, and enjoy.
