Mantra Monday: It is Enough.

Mantra(n.) : a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated by someone who is praying or meditation : a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone's basic beliefs

 Recently I've been thinking about all the things I need to get done and want to do and should do. For this week, I feel I should remind myself that whatever it is I am able to do is enough. If I only write 20,000 words this month, that is enough. If I only go to the gym for 30 minutes before I'm too tired to continue, that is enough. As long as I've truly, honestly tried, it is enough. I am enough.

Mantra Monday: Be Present

Mantra(n.) : a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated by someone who is praying or meditating : a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone's basic beliefs

Last week I decided to stop being "sorry." That went well, but I think it is something I will always have to work on. For this week, my mantra is "Be Present." These last two weeks have been crazy hectic and busy, so this week as things slow down I am going to focus on being present, in the moment, and happy with myself and where I am at this moment.

Mantra Monday: Don't Be Sorry (A.k.a The Beginning)

Hello and welcome to another lovely Monday morning! Over the weekend I decided to take on the challenge to "fix" or help myself with things I know I struggle with. So, Mantra Monday has been born!

Mantra(n.) : a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated by someone who is praying or meditating
: a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone's basic beliefs

Mantra, in the way I'm using it here, is something that is repeated frequently. For my first weekly Mantra I've chosen something I truly know I need to work on and have been told I need to work on, which is say "sorry" for anything. Hiccuped? "I'm sorry." Someone bumps into me entirely outside of my control? "I'm sorry." According to Keith, I even say "I'm sorry" in my sleep! So today, the first day of the first week of my weekly Mantras, I will not be sorry. Instead of apologizing for something I didn't do, I will say silently to myself "Don't be sorry."

What would you like to work on this week? Will you join me in creating a Mantra this week?
