Here are some mantras:
1. I commit to allowing room for development and expansion as I am willing to welcome, accept, and befriend negative and uncomfortable emotions, validate myself, and engage in self-compassion.
2. I have no control over my ideas or feelings, only how I choose to act or react to them.
3. My brain is predisposed to think negatively. I can recall memories of my distress more easily than memories of my joy, both cognitively and somatically. My reptilian brain tells me that focusing on the negative, what-ifs, and what could inevitably go wrong will protect me from injury, failure, and discomfort. My thought processes do not have to distort my internal experiences and my behavior.
4. My mind is tenacious. I can’t necessarily get rid of the chatter in my head, but I can lower the level. The conversation has the potential to become a direct conduit to my values and a greater understanding of what is valuable and important to me.
5. To develop my flexibility and curiosity, I regularly ask myself: “How else can I see this?” and “Does my reaction and behavior help me lean towards or away from building my confidence and being a reflection of who I want to be?”
Here are five more.
6. Although it is uncomfortable, distressing, and less than ideal, I prefer familiarity to the terrifying and unknown. Instead of reacting to these feelings from a place of stagnation, stagnation, or fear, I will notice them.
7. To create space between thought and action, I must pace myself, examine myself, and be curious about myself. Any thoughts and feelings that come up during the process are okay. What matters most is how I respond to them. This is inevitably my choice.
8. I find my values in my pain and my pain in my values. In other words, if I’m upset, it’s because I’m being brushed against a value, and if they’re brushing against a value, in the end I’ll be upset. My anguish helps me realize my needs and what is really essential to me.
9. I will choose to behave depending on who I am and how I want to be, no matter what, regardless of how others behave.
10. Inadvertently cutting off my unpleasant or uncomfortable feelings affects my ability to connect with the good and comfortable ones. In order to stay connected, engaged, and in the present moment, I choose to welcome all feelings and experiences and minimize my judgments about them.
