Live the life you’ve imagined.
Possibility begins with imagination.
Encourage your hopes, not your fears.
Embrace imperfection.
Know in your heart you are loved.
If you’re trying to jump-start your intentions for the New Year, one way to begin is with a mantra, or saying, that resonates with you. Write it down. Begin your day with it. Keep it on your night stand so it’s the last thing you put in your brain at night. Meditate with it and see what happens.
Another helpful motivator is an affirmation. Word it as though it is already happening: “This year I am a sober person.” “I am committed to nurturing my relationship.” “I am a successful student/businessperson/parent/health nut.”
Words matter. And by choosing the ones that really clear away your mental block and help you feel excited about your future, you are setting yourself up for limitless, positive growth.
