Today’s mantra was I am secure. So I am secure with myself. That’s the only mantra I could come up with. It isn’t the most profound and I don’t even have that much to say about it. It didn’t deeply resonate with me like some of the other mantras. If anything, it just told me to be more secure or at peace with myself and who I am. To stand firmly on the belief that I am the best authority on myself. To hold true to the fact that I need to be my best and strongest advocate.
Today’s mantra was I am in control. I am in control of my feelings. Today’s practice was phenomenal. I was rock solid, I did my poses and I felt fantastic. Maybe it’s part of the let down of having the semester be over, maybe not, no idea, but it was great. The practice itself was strong and I felt energized and relaxed afterward. I wish I could feel like that every day and hold onto that feeling…which filters into the mantra. I am in control of my breathing. I can make the practices in the future more energizing by holding on to my breath. In addition, the mantra I choose for myself was I am in control of my feelings. A lot of the time I feel a bit more passive about it, that something someone has said has made me upset, made. But I have a part in it as well. I’m not saying that I have the possibility to completely walk it off and shed negative comments or hurtful feelings. But I have more control than nothing and it’s time to be behind that control. I am in control of when I do things that make me happy, of balancing my work. There are things that I can control to make my feelings better.
Today’s mantra was I am strong. And I felt it. It was a good practice and just telling myself over and over again, I am strong, felt affirming and powerful. It’s always such a great reminder to remind yourself and tell yourself that you are strong, or beautiful, or empowered.
Today’s mantra was I attract. I attract strength. That is what I chose my mantra to be because I want to attract and get stronger. I am focused now on doing yoga and exercising. Not so much on drastically trying to change my diet or what not. But focusing on doing things that will make me feel strong. It isn’t always just physical strength either. It is also feeling strong (to me this includes self confidence as well). So that is not only my mantra, but also my goal. 5 days left!
