If 2017 felt like one gut-wrenching, stress-inducing, anxiety-ridden experience after another, it might be time to incorporate some powerful, positive mantras into your life this year. In addition to the physical choices you can make to boost your 2018 wellness, from eating well and exercising consistently to practicing self-care through massage and other relaxation techniques, internal statements can be powerful, too.<\/p>\n

As naturopath, author and health advocate Dr. Lynn Anderson<\/a> explains, mantras help us to release our worries and doubts, while maintaining consciousness and intense focus, via impactful one-liners. \u201cIt is a sound or phrase we say to ourselves to give us a moment to pause, take a breath and then take constructive action. Say these to yourself and then act on them wisely,\u201d she suggests.<\/p>\n

Not sure how to develop the right words for the right situation? Here, suggestions to get you started from experts:<\/p>\n

You just went through a break-up: \u201cOne space opens, another closes\u201d<\/h2>\n

Messy, seamless, drawn-out or surprising – \u00a0no matter which word you\u2019d choose to describe your breakup, it\u2019s always an experience that hurts your heart. Once you\u2019re past the first agonizing weeks and in a space where you can process the rise and demise of your relationship, Dr. Anderson suggests focusing on what\u2019s to come instead of what happened in the past. \u201cUse this mantra to make space for love to come again and know that it will,\u201d Dr. Anderson says.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re stressed about your career: “I will reach my goal”<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not quite where you thought you\u2019d be career-wise (especially as your friends zoom ahead in their careers), it\u2019s easy to fall into a work rut. Or the trouble with the lack of professional goals is that, without an aim, \u00a0you\u2019ll just keep treading water, explains industrial-organizational psychology practitioner and workplace expert, Amy Cooper Hakim, Ph.D<\/a>.Perhaps you\u2019ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Or, you\u2019ve been working for a decade and need a three-month sabbatical of traveling to reignite your creativity. Maybe, you\u2019re (over)due a raise, yet you haven\u2019t asked for one. The key here is to give your aspiration an emotional attachment so you\u2019re more determined to follow through: when you feel personally motivated by feelings of happiness to achieve this goal, you\u2019ll be more focused.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going through friend drama: \u201cThis too shall pass\u201d<\/h2>\n

The hard truth about our friendships is that no matter how hard we all try to be supportive, fun, understanding and caring, we\u2019re humans and we make mistakes. Clinical psychologist Stephanie O\u2019Leary, Psy.D.<\/a>, says of all interpersonal relationship dramas, friendship breakups, and fights can be confusing and difficult to explain, either to yourself or others. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to remember most friendships – like relationships – go through phases. \u201cWhen friend drama is at a peak, it’s often difficult to remember the good times. It\u2019s easy to become overwhelmed and frustrated. A simple mantra that reminds you of the inevitable phases of friendship and that refocuses your attention to the fleeting nature of most of these scenarios can help you keep calm and stay the course,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re fighting with your romantic partner: \u201cLet it go\u201d<\/h2>\n

Every couple has periods of bickering. When these months rear their ugly heads, Hakim says it\u2019s important to strive for compassion and empathy. \u201cRemember that your partner may have completely different expectations for how you should act in the relationship. Put yourself in your partner\u2019s shoes when possible, and take a deep breath,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

To calm down before saying or doing something you\u2019ll regret later, Dr. Anderson recommends utilizing\u00a0 \u2018Let it go\u2019 mantras for relationship woes. \u201cMost relationship problems are simply a contest to see who is right. Nobody is ever 100 percent right. But, it\u2019s better to be happy than right so remind yourself to let it go. Your relationship is most likely more important than whatever the issue may be,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve allowed yourself – and your number one – an opportunity to decompress, it\u2019s bonding time. From binging on Netflix to getting a couples\u2019 massage<\/a>, dual activities will help you reconnect.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re battling low self-esteem: \u201cI can do anything\u201d<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve put your health on the back burner to push through a demanding client project or you\u2019ve felt yourself tiptoeing toward depression, you might feel less than the stellar rock star you truly are. First and foremost, remember no one has all of the answers, so any act of comparison is a waste of your time. And secondly? O\u2019Leary reminds that truly, you can do anything.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a lot of pressure to be perfect and if you’re getting caught up in feeling not good enough, a daily – or hourly – reminder that perfect is overrated will go a long way,\u201d she notes. \u00a0As the saying goes, never compare your insides to someone else\u2019s outsides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
