Kim, Founder of Clementine the app, which was recently voted by The Guardian as ‘one of the seven apps every women should own’, shares her tips on using mantras to create a positive mindset.
I’m a massive fan of using positive statements, words, quotes to set the mood for the year, the day & just generally make me feel good instantly. Call them what you want – I call them mantras.
How Mantras Work:
– Firstly – set a mantra for the year. What is the big intention/feeling that you want to embrace for the year? This really helps you when you’re in the weeds & can’t see the woods for the trees. Mine this year is “progress not perfection”.
– Then each week I set a new mantra. You’ll have so much different stuff going on that you’ll need to flex your intention depending on events & how you are feeling. Last week I had A LOT going on so I set my mantra as “be kind to yourself”.
– Use every day. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Start in the morning to set the mood for the day. First thing when you wake up. Give yourself 1 minute whilst you are in bed, on the train, on the loo – but it needs to be first thing. Repeat to yourself for one minute.
– Finally. Remind yourself of your mantra throughout the day. Write it on a post it note & stick it on your computer. For me I use Clementine the app – & set these up as notifications to pop up on my phone 4 times a day…that way I get a gentle reminder of these that make me feel good.
