Why I Am Using Mantras in 2016

Every year I set goals for the next twelve months.  It used to be the same ones which including my desire to stop using profanity so often and exercising more.  Now that I am retired, I exercise every day and sometimes twice.  It no longer seems important to cuss or even try to stop something that is no longer significant.  Now my list includes cooking tasteful, intricate meals, skiing more, counting calories,  and loving myself more. For once in my life, I want to accept myself exactly as I am.

To accomplish that, I use mantras…I love and accept myself

I nourish myself with spiritual food

I am satisfied and free from my past

I use mantras because they work.  They help me be kinder to myself and others. They motivate me to give more to charity and others, and complain less.  Mantras bring gratitude and joy every day I say them. My gratitude list has my husband, my kids, my friends and my animals on it. It has Phil, my horse on it too.  I want to ride him more, love him more, understand him better and stay safe when I ride. I want to be a better wife and mother. A better sister and friend. I want to be the kind of person that makes others smile when they think of me.

Goals are nice. They motivate a person and keep us accountable. Writing them down is a form of accountability. So get writing, and sharing, and speaking. Speak to your soul what you want in your life through positive affirmations and mantras. Try it for a week and you will really know it works.
