They say you are what you eat, but what if we were also the words we speak to ourselves daily? There may be more resources out there on self-help and bettering relationships with ourselves but we remain in constant search of reassurance whilst unconsciously being our own worst enemy. Placing reminders on our phones or sticky notes around the home to look at daily can assist in bettering the language we use with ourselves.
In this blog post there are 21 mantras designed to be used daily. You can take them and change their meaning or their words, so long as they are BENEFICIAL to you.
