Make Your 2012 Personal Mantra - a Simple Start to Positive Change



By Lindsay Ross for BounceBack.com


By definition a mantra seems quite simple. It's stated as "a word or sound repeated to aid concentration in meditation". But there is much more to the simple word or sound that can assist in guiding your life towards a more peaceful and positive path.

2012 has arrived with a vengeance and it feels like those resolutions that sounded like such a good idea in mid December aren't so appealing anymore. The numerous weight loss resolutions or organization pledges can be a bit daunting, especially if the change that has to be made is drastic. Possibly the best way to tackle these goals is by starting small and growing into the change. There is no better way to start to instill change into your life than by making a personal mantra.

A personal mantra should be a small phrase or word that is simple to remember that evokes positive feelings and self worth. The key is to stay positive. An example could be "I will eat healthy" or "I am confident". This simple phrase should be used throughout the day not only in meditation settings but in situations where stress or negative feelings arise. It should be grounding and be able to center someone who may be having a difficult time trying to tackle personal challenges. This small step can help to aid in positive changes that need to take place.

A personal mantra can not only be used in achieving goals but can also be used to transform someone's mindset to be more positive and uplifting. There are times in peoples lives where negative feelings for others can take over entire aspects of that persons life without the person even knowing. To avoid letting negative feelings take over try a mantra like "I am positive", "I am thankful for my life" or "I am kind". By focusing on these inspirational feelings it will only allow for positive feelings to nurture and grow.
