Daily Insights: What's Your Daily Mantra?

Do you have a daily mantra? Something you repeat to yourself daily - something that makes you feel confident and positive? A mantra does not necessarily have to be a sanskrit mantra, it could be a positive affirmation, a quote or even a positive word.


The importance of the mantra is that it is positive and it encourages a peaceful and happy attitude within yourself. If you have not chosen a daily mantra - take a moment to think about what positive emotion and attitude you want in your life.


Example: If you want to be happy - try "Everyday in every way, I am happier and happier!" or, if you are working on opening yourself up to spiritual energy and enlightenment you could repeat "Om" - it is a very powerful mantra, the root of all mantra.


Make the Most of Your Mantra

  1. Repeat it will feeling either out aloud or silently to yourself.
  2. Write your mantra on sticky notes and paste them all over the place - next to your bed, in the book you are reading, in the refrigerator, at the front door.
  3. If your daily work requires that you sit at a computer - change the screensaver or desktop to reflect your daily mantra.
  4. Repetition is key.

“The mantra becomes one's staff of life and carries one through every ordeal. Each repetition has a new meaning, carrying you nearer and nearer to God.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
