  • Problems, problems, problems. There are so many problems that we face in our lives. Marital

  • friction, money issues, bad day at work because of your horrible boss or misunderstandings

  • with friends or aging parents. As I said that there are so many problems that we face. So

  • few words of reassurance or support from someone can make a big difference to get through these

  • tough times.

  • HI everyone thanks for clicking, I am Niharika. Well in today's lesson, we are gonna look

  • at some phrases for reassurance. Now there are times when we face a lot of problems and

  • few words of support and reassurance makes a difference. Like when you were a kid, you

  • stumbled while playing, tears streamed down, blood streamed down. but your mother's words

  • reassuring you that everything is going to be fine made a difference and guess what you

  • survived that painful event. So even as adults, if you reassure someone, support them then

  • people would definitely face their challenges with head on. So here are 5 phrases that you

  • could use to reassure people in their bad times.

  • The very first phrase that I have for you, is don't worry you will be fine. It is a very

  • simple phrase that you can use for someone, a friend, a family member or a business colleague

  • who is facing a difficult situation in their life. So for example, uh... let's say, a person

  • is worrying too much, she's your friend and she's worrying too much for her aging parents

  • and you want to be there for her and you want to use nice, supporting, reassuring words.

  • so a very simple one that you can use is, that don't worry you will be fine because

  • here you are giving her the confidence that one day this situation will be fine, okay.

  • So when you want to give confidence or show confidence in the situation, then you can

  • use the phrase that don't worry, you will be fine or you can say don't worry, it will

  • be fine. So you are showing confidence in the situation that eventually the result will

  • be good, will be positive and not negative, that would make a difference in her or his

  • life.

  • The second expression that you can use to reassure someone is, you are doing the best

  • you can. Now there are times when people face problems like a bad marriage, okay. Your friend

  • is having a very bad marriage. All she does is argues with her husband and probably they

  • might file for a divorce too. But here you want to appreciate and you want to show that

  • yes we identify and appreciate that you are doing the best you can. So this is again a

  • great phrase to use to reassure people. So if you think that a friend or a family member

  • is going through certain issues and you are able to identify that look, you are doing

  • your best, then use this phrase that you are doing the best you can, okay.

  • Another phrase that you can use to reassure someone, is let me give you a hug. Now this

  • may sound very silly, oh come on, let me give you a nice, warm hug. But it makes a difference,

  • it has great impact. A warm hug. Now of course you can't randomly hug anyone. Okay come let

  • me give you a nice, warm hug. No you can’t do that. Just do it with your friends. Okay

  • just give a nice, warm hug to your friends or your family members or someone you are

  • close to. Okay so a small physical gesture would make that person feel much better. so

  • if that person is going through some problems and if you say that come one let me give you

  • a hug, it's a nice physical gesture that you are showing to show your support and the confidence

  • that yes this person will get through this difficult time. So that's how you can reassure

  • someone.

  • The fourth phrase that you can use is, I know this is hard and then you need to add a positive

  • statement. So here what you are doing is, you agreed that yes you are facing a difficult

  • situation but then add a positive statement, for example, that I know this is hard but

  • you are not alone. For example, your friend is trying to take up a job and you know has

  • been really exhausted finding jobs and is not able to crack any jobs. So yes it is a

  • difficult time that your friend is facing, so you are gonna empathize. Okay you are gonna

  • put yourself in that person's shoes and you are gonna say, I know this is hard. So here

  • you are empathizing. You realize that this is not easy for that other person. so you

  • are empathizing by saying yes, I know this is hard but now you need to add a positive

  • statement that you are not alone or you can say, you can ask for help from others, okay.

  • You can ask for help or you can take help. Okay so always add a positive statement to

  • this kind of a phrase. Alright and then we have the fifth phrase which I am always there

  • for you. Yes, now you wanna show that you are a great friend or a great companion and

  • you wanna show that you are there. So whatever the situation is, whatever the issue or the

  • problem is, you are gonna stand by this person and try to face this challenge hand in hand.

  • So this is a more supporting, it gives confidence and support to that other person who is going

  • through a bad time. So if you think that your friend or your family member needs you okay,

  • needs you to be there with him or her, then you can use the phrase I am always there for

  • you, okay.

  • So these are the five phrases that you can use when someone is having a bad time in their

  • life. A very simple one is, dont worry you will be fine or it will be fine. The other

  • one that you can use is, you are doing the best you can, so you are appreciating here,

  • okay. The third one is, let me give you a hug. So it's a nice physical gesture , a warm

  • hug will make a difference. The fourth one is, I know this is hard, yes you are empathizing

  • but also add a positive statement along with this phrase and then the fifth phrase that

  • I have for you is, I’m always there for you. So you are always there to support this

  • person.

  • So start using them, we are all nice human beings and it's always nice to be nice to

  • others and use these phrases. Hope they are helpful, I’ll be back with a new lesson,

  • till then you take care.

Problems, problems, problems. There are so many problems that we face in our lives. Marital
