Daily Mantras to Get You Where You Want to Be
Are you on the right track to achieving your goals AND helping yourself on the way?
We all have goals that we are aiming to achieve in life. Whether your dream is to travel around the world, or build a multimillion dollar business, there’s a glowing light at the end of the tunnel that you are working toward every day. The road to “success” is paved with good days - full of motivation, positivity, hope and steps forward. It is ALSO paved with less than good days and those days can get the best of us. The most important tool you have to get you through all of the days, both good and bad, is your own thoughts. Your mindset, the way you talk to yourself and the thoughts that fill your head each day play such a huge roll in your trajectory! To help you out, I’m going to tell you a few of my favorite mantras that you should repeat to yourself daily.
I HOLD THE KEY TO MY OWN SUCCESS.
There are so many things in life that are out of our control. In fact, almost everything seems to be. But there are a few things that you do control. Your success is one of those things. The world can be moving for or against you, time could be on your side (or not), but the driving force behind your success and forward movement is YOU. No one else can put one foot in front of the other for you each day. It begins with you, and it ends with you. It’s easy to feel like the forces around you are trying to keep you from achieving your goals. But friend, let me tell you, only YOU hold the key to your own success. If ever you feel helpless, defeated or powerless – remember that all you need lives within you and you are more than capable.
I AM THANKFUL FOR THIS DAY.
Practicing gratitude daily is crucial in the journey to achieving your goals. On the way to where you want to be, it makes a noticeable difference to practice thankfulness in your day-to-day life. You may not be able to change your circumstances or situation, but you CAN change what you choose to focus on. Will you choose to focus on the flat tire you got on the way to work or on the opportunity you had to spend another day working toward success? It sounds even crazier when you say it out loud. I want you to try to start and end each day with gratitude. When you wake up in the morning, stop to take a deep breath and say it out loud, “I am thankful for this day.” Then see how you feel. It will start you on the best foot possible, which directly affects your productivity and success. Then, when you go to sleep later that night, inhale and exhale with the words, “I am thankful for this day.” You WILL achieve success, and with thankfulness present, the journey getting there will be much easier.
I AM EXACTLY WHERE I NEED TO BE.
You know what you want and where you’re going, but you want it NOW. Or at least sooner rather than later. You can see a glimpse of your goal and you know it’s there, but you’re getting caught up in why you aren’t there yet. If any of that sounds familiar, this mantra is for you. It doesn’t matter if you believe in a “greater plan” or if you subscribe to the idea that everything happens for a reason – the reality is, that in order to get to where you want to be, you have to travel. That, of course, means the beautiful scenic backroads AND the smelly rest-stops. Neither of those are the ending destination of the trip, but they have to happen.
In this long-haul of a journey, you may become discouraged. In those moments, remind yourself that each moment, each day, each season that you are currently in, is exactly where you need to be. Not forever, but for now.
WHEN I RADIATE GOOD ENERGY, GOOD THINGS WILL COME.
With so many things in life, you get out what you put in. In your career, your successes are greater when you put in more work and effort. In your relationships, when you give more of yourself, you gain more trust, love and closeness. When it comes to attracting goodness to your life, though, the best thing you can do is radiate positive energy. Put out the good energy, and more good things will come toward you. Fill your head with positive and uplifting thoughts, speak kindly to yourself and others and try to view the future and your goals through a positive and hopeful lens. What you give to the world is what you will attract. That’s the truth.
I TRUST MYSELF AND BELIEVE I CAN DO THIS.
“Am I really cut out for this?”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Maybe I chose the wrong path.”
“There’s no way I could be THAT successful.”
Self-doubt is a real thing and it can so often be the thief of our success. If the process is taking longer than expected or there are setbacks along the way, most everyone’s first instinct is to doubt or question themselves. Trusting and believing in yourself and your abilities isn’t always natural and often takes practice and repetition. Try this: instead of letting those thoughts of question and doubt creep in, interrupt them quickly by repeating, “I trust myself and I believe I can do this.” The more you say it, the more you breathe life into it. You ARE going to get where you want to be, so you might as well believe it while you’re at it. Your trust in yourself is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It will emanate from you and attract other people who also trust you and your process.
MY POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Hold up. Read that one again. And again. You might as well get that one tattooed on your body to refer back to constantly. Just kidding, kind of. This mantra is the truest and realest statement, and such a beautiful thing to say to yourself. From a very young age, society puts us all into tiny boxes; what we are and aren’t, who we can be and who we can love, what we are capable of and why. We have opportunities to break out of those boxes, but because we’ve been conditioned for so long to BELIEVE these non-truths, they are now limitations for us.
It’s important every day to shatter those boxes. You need to break away from the limitations that have been set for you and fully realize your potential in this world. YOU are limitless. You are more than capable, just as you are. And your possibilities are endless.
So, I ask again…
Are you on the right track to achieving your goals and, more importantly, are you helping yourself on the way?
We are all on our own path to success. Our pictures of success and true fulfillment are vastly different, in the most beautiful way. But even with such different destinations, we all can encourage and believe in ourselves and our capabilities. These daily mantras will remind you of just that.
