Mantras have grounded me in the hardest of times. Where they come from doesn’t matter, just go with one that resonates with you and repeat, repeat, repeat. Once you have adopted a mantra, your children will follow suit, guaranteed.
8 Family Mantras to help you through hard times:
1. I am safe, I am present, I am healthy
2. Sleep well, move well, eat well
3. Peace begins with me
4. We will hug ____ again
5. We can do hard things
6. Talk less, breathe more
7. Now is time for rest
8. I Forgive You
The last one is monumental. I remember a quote that impacted me many years ago:
”Persevere. Bear with great patience each other’s infirmities of body or behavior. And when the thorns of contention arise, daily forgive, and be ready to accept forgiveness.” -Anonymous
