The Power of Positive Mantras for Mental Wellness

Corie Muldoon

What’s a mantra? A mantra is a statement or motivating chant repeated often.

This statement or chant is positive in nature and helps us build a more positive mindset. We are intentionally thinking specific thoughts to influence our actions in a positive way.

To change who we are, we have to change what we do. To change what we do, we have to change what we think about. Every action starts in the form of a thought.

When we repeat a thought over again with emotion (positive & negative), our subconscious mind eventually picks it up. When the subconscious mind picks a thought up, it starts to manifest it in real life.

What we think about constantly with strong emotion, expands. That’s why it’s important to become aware of what we’re thinking about on a daily basis.

The 5-word mantra meditation is a five minute meditation. The five words that are used are release, peace, tranquility, love, and joy.

10 Positive Thoughts for Building Confidence in Your Relationship

Corie Muldoon

A healthy relationship starts with positive thoughts.

Bring awareness to your mind’s chatter.

Are your thoughts positive or negative? Are they helping or hurting you?

Weeds vs Good Seeds

We are the farmer, and our mind is the land.

It’s our daily duty to:

  1. Pull weeds (notice negative thoughts, work through them, let go)
  2. Plant good seeds (think positive thoughts)
  3. Water seeds daily (repeat positive thoughts with emotion)

Good Seeds for Confidence

Here are some positive thoughts to help you grow confidence, certainty, and security in your relationship. Repeat them daily with full faith.

1. “I trust myself and my partner.”

2. “Our relationship is strong and resilient.”

3. “I am worthy of love and respect.”

4. “We communicate openly and honestly.”

5. “I choose to focus on the moment and let go of worries about the past or future.”

6. “Our bond grows stronger with each passing day.”

7. “I am secure in our love and commitment to each other.”

8. “We navigate challenges together, as a team.”

9. “I celebrate our unique connection and relationship.”

10. “I am enough, and our relationship is enough.”

By adopting these mantras, you’ll cultivate a more confident and secure mindset, allowing you to nurture a healthier, happier relationship.

Daily Writing Prompt

Tis the busy season!

Corie Muldoon

Happy Holidays to my fellow restaurant workers. Pls hang in there 🙂

A gentle reminder today that our life is the sum of our choices.

What we experience today is the result of something we did or did not do.

Embrace that fact & change things up next time if you’re feeling up to it.

What do you want to end result to look like? Align your choices accordingly.

If we’re not happy with the way things are… let’s ask ourselves: “what can we do next time to make sure things are different?”

Awareness is the first step to change.

Remember: positive ripples

What are some holiday mindset tips that keep you centered?

Staying Centered: How Healthy Reminders Keep Good Vibes Flowing Daily

Corie Muldoon

If you’re looking to create a more positive mindset, there’s a practice in the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale that I love and use on the regular. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes each day.


The Process

  1. Write down some healthy reminders on index cards
  2. Flip through them everyday until you memorize them
  3. Repeat your healthy reminders daily

This practice helps to create a more positive mindset for ourselves.

Like a farmer, we must sow good seeds or weeds will start to grow.


Staying Centered

When I’m happy, healthy reminders keep the good vibes flowing.

And when I’m upset, healthy reminders help clear things up.

Up or down, healthy reminders work to keep us centered.

Repeating our healthy reminders daily is the key to lasting results.


Below are some of my favorite reminders that keep my mind feeling happy, healthy, and fit:


Healthy Reminder Examples

Keep on stepping

You are loved

Be unafraid

Yes you can

You can do all things

Be free

Hang loose

Believe

You matter

You are brave

Relax and release

You are beautiful

Any sayings come to mind that make you feel happy, safe, strong, empowered?


Faith-Based Reminders

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

According to your faith be it unto you

If ye have faith nothing shall be impossible unto you

Be ye transformed by the renewal of the mind

If god be for me, who can be against me

Faith power works wonders

I believe God gives me power to attain whatever I really want

I expect the best and with God’s help will attain the best

Thou wilt guide me by thy counsel

Be unafraid of what you do not know
Give me Thy healing peace in my nervous system as well as in my soul

May the love of Christ fill my soul; may the love of Christ for __ fill my soul

The Lord is the strength in my life… in this I will be confident

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength

Managing Ego: Finding Balance for Self-Esteem and Achievement

Corie Muldoon

It takes a certain level of awareness to stop making excuses and letting our actions make or break our ego.

And we can get to that level of awareness by doing some inner work.

Let’s get started!

Excuses

An excuse is an attempt to lessen the blame, defend, or justify a fault or offense.

Ever try to talk to someone about an issue and all they do is list the “reasons why” said thing happened the way it did. One big story time.

When really all you want is for them to just acknowledge their mistake and promise to do and be better.

That being said, we don’t gotta explain why something happened the way it did, because the details make no difference.

Take responsibility quickly and quietly. If you messed up, own it and promise to work hard to improve.

Things don’t have to be in perfect alignment for us to take small steps to be a better person. We can start with where we are today. What can we do right now?

“I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be.”

– Saul Alinsky

Ego

An ego is a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

When we do or don’t do something, it’s easy to let that affect how we feel about ourselves.

Maybe you accomplished something big – does that make you feel better than others?

Maybe you said you’d do something and didn’t – does that make you feel shitty about yourself?

We don’t wanna get too high or too low. Whatever happens, let’s allow it to be a small thing. Good and bad.

“Be satisfied with even the smallest step forward and regard the outcome as a small thing.”

– Marcus Aurelius

Breathe through Negative Emotions

Corie Muldoon

Allow emotions and feelings to go through you.

Imagine your chest as a screen, instead of a brick wall that everything sticks to.

All that is flows through you effortlessly.

Notice and allow these emotions and feelings to pass through you.

Redirect your awareness onto your inner energy field, breathing through any tension.

Check in with your body, do you feel resistance or pain anywhere?

Draw in positive energy by filling your mind with positive emotions.

Breath deeply – in for 4 out for 4, in for 6 out for 6, in for 8 out for 8.
