The Buddha thought that desire was the root of all suffering. By that logic, wouldn't gratitude then be the root of all happiness and peace? Once we flnd contentment and joy in the smallest of things, the world transforms into a garden of possibility. Be thankful and share your gratitude with those around you. Gratitude is a gift that keeps giving. Count your blessings and you'll And that they are numerous. Express gratitude and live by it, because gratitude brings peace and happiness and turns what you have into enough.
Know that you will have more of what you are grateful for.

*Mantra Action: On your birthday, make a list of people, experiences, feelings, relationships, and anything else you can think of that you are thankful for-as many as the age vou're turning. Making this an annual, simple exercise will ensure that not a year goes by when you don't sit down and appreciate all the things in life that bring you joy. If compiling a year's worth of thanks into one day seems daunting, start small by gratitude journaling from day to day or even week to week.

*Mantra benefit: When you look at each passing year with an eye for gratitude, you'll get better and better at it until the number of things you're thankful for greatly outnumbers the years that you've been on this beautiful earth.

This is a gentle reminder to love and accept yourself, and believe in your heart that you are worthy of all good things, now and always. Let in love, let in forgiveness, let in joy. "I am worthy. I am abundant. I am overflowing with love."

*Mantra Action: Decide what matters most to you in life, how you want to live, the kind of relationship you want to have, how you want to feel when you wake up-make note of the big things and the small things. Then decide that you are worthy of receiving these things, believe in your heart that you deserve the best, and work to engrave this into your consciousness every day.

*Mantra Beneft: When you believe that you deserve goodness in life, more goodness and abundance will flow into your life.

You are strong enough, and you are good enough-and it's not because of anything you do or don't do, have or don't have. You are the only one in your unique circumstances, and you are doing a spectacular job with the hand that you've been dealt. You are important. You are loved. You are enough.

*Mantra Action: When plagued by feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, take time and really think about all of the little things you do in a day. Make a note of your goals and how you spent your time. Feel good about the things you did that you really enjoyed in the moment. Whatever you did, whatever you are, you are enough.

*Mantra Benefit:Nurse your ambitions but find contentment in where you are and where you started from. Celebrate small victories. When you take note of the things that make you happy, you'll find that you have all you need to find a reason to smile every day.

Happiness and calm can be found when you're present in this moment.

*Mantra Action: Ground yourself in the concrete truth of your body. Scan all the synapses in your body and explore the feeling. Start at the crown of your head, move down to your eyelids, cheeks, nose, earlobes, throat, collar bones, shoulders, elbows, knuckles, fingertips. Trace the line of feelings down each rib. How do your hips sit? Are they open or closed? Is there a tingling in your knees? Where does the heat of your limbs overlap? Scan from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, then go back up again to fully ground yourself into your body once more.

*Mantra Benefit: In those moments when your mind wants to be in one place but your heart needs to be in another, bring yourself back to the present moment where you'll find true peace and happiness.

Believe in yourself. Know that you are strong enough to get through anything. You are the only you to ever exist and you're doing a stellar job. Remember that challenges are part of the story. Keep going and never give up. You got this!

* Mantra Action: Practice good posture. Stack the vertebrae of your spine on top of one another and hold your head high as if a string is pulling it towards the sun. Take a power pose, Wonder Woman-style, with your hands on your hips and your feet firmly planted hip distance apart. Let the channels of energy flow through you and don't dump into your joints.

*Mantra Beneft: When you let the channels of energy flow through you, you'll find that confidence will follow. Believe that you are strong, and you'll know that you can tackle whatever life throws at you.

These simple words are the foundation of a happy, calm, and fulfilled existence. Remember to focus on one thing at a time and give each and every moment your all.
Stay calm, look on the bright side , and keep going. Because it's all about the journey, not the destination. Move at your own pace and don't compare your journey to that of others.

* MANTRA ACTION:
Leave an hour before you're expected somewhere and explore the are. Meditation occurs in quiet places where your brain has space to relax. Arrive in a space as your best self and enjoy this new experience with a fresh set of eyes.

*MANTRA BENEFIT:
Arriving early might seem counterintuitive to "going slow", but when you no longer have the stress of arriving at your next engagement on time you'll find it easier to explore and fine the beauty in the world around you.
