As my good friend and colleague eloquently suggests in his recent blog post, “Understand Yourself”, being able to develop and employ self-supporting
mantras can be invaluable in changing old worn out thought patterns that no
longer serve us or limit our journey towards durable, healthy and happy lives.
If I may, I would like to add to this excellent insight, a mantra
that I use on a daily basis and with clients, which starts with, “My mind is
powerful, therefore….”. A very simple phrase that can be used to attach positive meaning to any
concern or issue. For example, “My mind is powerful, therefore today will be a
great day!” or “My mind is powerful, therefore my body will heal!” etc... The reason
this works so well is because your mind and heart will listen to your own
voice. If you say it in the mind or out loud, it will become your reality!
Furthermore, it helps to set the tone for self-awareness, empowering us to be mindful
of what we are thinking and affording us a chance to use new tools to change behaviors
and thoughts we no longer need or want.
If we can be
of any help to you, a friend or love one in working through mental health
concerns, please give us a call or stop by during our office hours of 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. We are here eager to serve and assist you
in making change happen in your life. You deserve to be happy and healthy!
