Mantras

How many people out there use Mantras?
Mantras are words or phrases (sometimes syllables like in yoga practice) that are supposed to create some sort of transformation. I never really thought about mantras that way until I googled it. I like that- creating transformation.

I used one yesterday in a post: Process and Move On.
Its a good one and directly related to being able to let go of things that are not worth the time and energy. I'll let you know how that one works out. I was inspired to think about more mantras I have used after yesterday's post. I like them and I think they help me. Sometimes I need to refocus my attention to the things that matter. :)

Other ones I've been known to repeat:

Breathe 
Keep Breathing 
Limitations are Not Failures
Pace yourself
Balance
Just be


Perhaps the most exciting (and most recent) mantra I've encountered was provided by my best friend Julie:

Filter and Tolerate


I crack up whenever I think about it- it's impossible to be in a sour mood and think about filtering and tolerating. It's a good one for me and in a round about way reminds me to go with the flow.


Any other good mantras out there?
