Mantras To Live By
A mantra is "a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone's basic beliefs."
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.
Let us know how it goes!You can create your own & share them here. Here are a few for you to start with:
I love myself and accept myself in this moment.
I forgive myself.
Keep your head up & your heart open.
My life is a magical gift.
This too shall pass.
I am strong & vibrant. I bring my unique opinions & world view to everything that I do.
I will accept the change that I cannot change.
I choose to love this time for once with all my intelligence
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough.
Be the change you want to see in the world. -Gandhi
Take an early morning walk and don't speak. Let the trees speak. Let the ground speak. Let the breeze speak. Let the parked cars speak. Let the potholes speak. Let the flowers speak. Start your day with the best conversation you'll have that day.
@bluelight88,that's very motivating.
Here are a few mantras I use:
"I'm not a disorder, a syndrome, or disease...I'm simply just a human being" ~ caterpillargirl
"But by the grace of God, I am what I am..." ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10, NIV Bible
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." ~ Philippians 4:13, NIV Bible
@buttonedprincess This is perfect, I must remember this one!
I used to keep in mind something pretty simple as "If you really want to, you can do it!".
I am still trying to keep it in mind but not that much as before. I should do it again for sure. It's simple and action oriented so it makes me switch from a bad pattern thinking to a new better one.
Try and make today better than yesterday.
@lazyKatz Good one Katz =)
Don't let what people say, affect you!
Stop worrying about the world ending today.
