“Mood follows action.”
Rich Roll
A mantra can help keep us focused or bring us back to reminding us
what is important to us. A mantra such as, “I cannot always control
what happens to me or around me, but I can control how I choose
to react to it,” can help us control our temper or anxiety and keep
us grounded. A mantra when we are running up that hill, such as “I
am strong, I am strong,” can keep us moving and pushing forward.
A mantra such as: “thank you God for this beautiful day and all the
goodness it will bring” is a way to practice gratitude. “I am going to
be the best version of myself in this moment.” A mantra when we are
going to trial, deposition, or give a presentation, when our nerves are
running high, such as “I am calm, I am calm” can keep us relaxed
and focused. A mantra allows us to keep calm, relax, stay focused
and remind ourselves we are prepared and quite ready and perfectly
capable of accomplishing the task at hand, while keeping us within
our mission and value system we have created for ourselves. Repeat
your mantra when you are running or meditating.
