2014 Mantras

Before I tackle my feelings and "Desire Map" for the New Year I thought I would narrow down my 2014 mantras! Some of mine help me to feel better some just keep me out of jail. Here are a few of mine for this year:

Personal:

• You are enough, just as you are
• Breathe deeply, feel it all, move forward
• No is not a rejection, from me or from anyone else!
• My life is full and abundant
• It is none of my business what other's think of me

In My Car:

• You have plenty of time
• Embrace the delay 
• If you hit them it will only make you later
• Calm down, they might have a gun

With my daughter:

• This anger is not about you, breathe
• All teenagers are hostile, breathe
• She will be moving out in two years, breathe
• Breathe, count to ten, walk away

I realize that some of these are not really mantras, but I couldn't come up with a satisfying word so I am going to call them mantras for now. 

In all seriousness, having a mantra and sitting with it for a few minutes each day can really help. A good mantra can help when you are stressed out and paralyzed with fear or anger (which is really just a form of fear) or when you are feeling bad about yourself on that random Tuesday. 

I hope you spend a few minutes thinking about what your mantras might be this year.

All my best,

Linda
