A mantra is a self affirmation that you can repeat & think to yourself. Itcan help you be reflective about your personal thought patterns and work on improving them. Pick 1 or 2 that you want to work on and make a commitment to thinking them this week. Say them to youself when you wake up in the morning and before bed.

I have a poem tattooed on my arm that helped me through some dark stages a few years ago. let it go, let it out let it all unravel. let it free and it can be, a path on which to travel. It's now a constant reminder that even the hardest things to go through lead to something better. They change the way you think and where you want your life to go.
