Mindfulness and meditation have become more and more utilized by successful business professionals all over the world, especially in the United States – as we’ve discovered the multitude of benefits that can be derived from mindfulness, we’ve found that our mind (and business) can flourish, too. The Chopra Center defines mantras as phrases that often are spoken or chanted, directing power and energy to a person’s soul and mindset. This type of motivation can have an amazing effect on your day to day life, as our perspective is what shapes our interactions, business decisions, and ultimately, our success and happiness.
If you’re looking to start your days off with positivity, determination and energy, there are a number of mantras you can employ in your daily routine:
- “Morning sets the day.”
- “Achieve small goals every day.”
- “Get to know where the time goes.”
- “Working while exhausted reduces effectiveness.”
- “Stay focused and do one task at a time.”
These mantras can help serve as a foundation for your way of thinking – you could even write it down, set a reminder with that phrase on your phone, and chant it to yourself throughout the day. American author Og Mandino once described his purpose for using mantras: “With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now, for that is all I have.”
If you are experiencing any signs of anxiety or depression, mantras can help alleviate your symptoms by literally working to retrain the thought processes that occur in your brain. Many of the stress and pressures that come with being a CEO, lawyer, doctor, psychiatrist and more can have a major toll on one’s mental health. Mantras are a mindfulness tool that can transform your way of thinking, which ultimately transforms your life.
