Bad mantras

Life is already such an interesting array of experiences, and we make those experiences more hard, difficult and challenging through our bad mantras. But these can be changed.

It is time to give up the bad mantras. You know - the ones where you say (and think) negative things about yourself (and others). And it's important to look beyond when you call yourself stupid. Yes, that is a bad mantra, and it needs to be changed, but bad mantras permeate our lives and how we can best see them is by looking into the response that we get from life, our payoff factor, the results: how our life is.

If you find that your life is comprised of struggle, and only a struggle, and always a struggle - there is belief system and a mantra behind it that says, "life has to be a struggle." Changing external circumstances alone will not alleviate the struggle symptoms, you have to get underneath, go behind the scenes and attack the mantras as well.

Take a look today at the results you are getting and how you are getting them, and look at the mantras behind the scenes. You can change those mantras in a few simple, quick steps:

1. Write down the bad mantras you come up with
2. Write down a positive equivelent. There cannot be any "no's, will not's, don'ts, etc." write in the affirmative. For example, if the bad mantra is "life has to be a struggle," the positive equivelent could be "life [activities] happen effortless and with ease"
3. close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale. Then breathe in a gain, hold the breath and mentally repeat the positive equivalent 3 times, then say it out loud once as you exhale. Repeat 3-11 times with each positive belief.
4. Repeat this exercise for 40 days.

With the ending of the age of Pisces and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, things are moving much more quickly, and that includes the impact of our words and actions. Now is a perfect time to really reflect on the mantras going on inside your brain, to filter out the negative ones, and to replace them with mantras of positivity and gratitude. By using the energy of the modern day, where everything moves at lightneing speed, you can find and replace all those bad mantras quite effectively.

Bad mantras are something we can change today - we can look, identify and use simple tools to change them - and it is well worth it, because the results we get in life change just as easily. Go for it.

Blessings.
