Mantra

These statements are not static, they ever-evolving, as I am ever-evolving, each time I wake is a blank canvas, my heartbeat is even, and my breathing is fluid, calm, and relaxed, my day will be balanced. I am aware, I am everything around me, I’m connected to all, I am true to my deepest self, and not the superficial me, which was created from ego, memories, and the desire to be accepted. I will be simple in my thoughts and good in my actions. I will start my day with my morning routine, a healthy start to each day. My habits are what support me to become my best self, my primary habits are crucial, a strong discipline, positive energy, healthy diet and sufficient hydration, good sleep and rest, stress low, with the ability to switch on and off. A thoughtful mindset understands what can be controlled and what cannot. My mindset and energy is set, and does not adjust from exterior influence, like a tree in a storm I will sway, always getting back to the center. Every day I will focus on these, learning, growing, and adapting daily, positively building upon myself, and moving in the direction of growth. Strength lies in choices, and discipline is at the forefront, and before discipline, there is an awareness and slow steady breath. I think, before I speak, act and respond. My word is everything, it is the base of my disposition and character, which is built over a lifetime and can be broken in minute.

I will be faced with choices each day, I am aware there is not a single right choice, yet many. I will not go for the easy choice, but the one that feels right, and is best for my life as a whole, when a choice is made, I will relax, trust and accept it. Unhealthy stress is un-necessary and is controlled by my mind. Micro stress, is something I am aware of, the smallest beginnings, the seeds that will grow, I will relax and breath in these moments, accepting and connecting to all around me, showing patients to myself and others. Every day is a beautiful day, and my happiness will not lie in dreams of the future, or memories of the past, I'm here right now to live this present moment and I will feel it with everything I have. I have no value on material objects, I am a simple and minimal person, and take only what I need, and let go of what I don't, everything can be given, yet everything can be taken, and this I know, so my value is directed on experiences, living, freedom, love, and virtue.

My confidence comes from being below no other, and above no other, I will maintain it, as we are all equal, from humans to animals, from flowers to trees, and from the ocean to the sky. I am responsible for myself completely and accountable for all my thoughts and actions. I will make life fun, and embrace moments of laughter, as life is a journey, not a destination. I will be good to myself and others, showing kindness, awareness, and patience, radiating good positive energy which is not affected by the exterior.

My words and thoughts about any person, will be spoken and delivered to the person first or they will not be said, and what is said, will be thoughtful and patient with good intentions and non-judgment, by listening well, and choosing my words wisely. My health is fundamental, I will eat well at each opportunity, and move my body consistently throughout the day. Movement is part of life and not something I schedule, my intentions are strength, flexibility, and longevity. I cannot control anything on the outside, yet I can control everything inside myself. Virtue comes from within, everything has to pass my filter and I have a choice of how to be and how to act. I will always show honesty, seeking only truth. My word is everything, and I am loyal to the commitments and promises I make. I will be smart with my use of technology, being disciplined, using a positive asset to my life, being in control of it, and being aware and disciplined about the control it can have on me.

I have no limits on my imagination, I have no limit on what I can do, I am the architect of my future, I create myself and the future. The past does not hinder me, I embrace and learn from all my mistakes, they are inevitable, and they have taught me much, so I am not afraid to make them, and will always see them as positive building blocks, no matter how difficult and painful. I am self-sufficient, mentally, physically, emotionally, and value my finances and strive to continue to work independently, I have strength in my path and lifestyle, and do not fall into the habits of others. My success is not measured by one thing alone, my success is a combination of my energy, daily balance, health, growth, kindness, and keeping my family warm, fed, and in a safe and growth environment. I committed to the growth of my mind, body, and spirit.

Axia (True worth) is everything to me, how I spend my time and where my energy is placed. I have an understanding of my ego and the superego. I will not blame or criticize anyone, I love and accept myself completely, I have no restrictions, and am free to be me. I am totally independent of the good or bad opinion of others. I will live my life and learn steadily, and not spend all my time learning how to live, as a bird does not learn to fly from the ground, just as a person will not learn to live from observation. I fearlessly handle any and all challenges in my life. I only aspire to be the best me, and ultimately find happiness from within myself, at night, the day is done and I will surrender to my sleep and forget all, and let my mind take me where it wishes. And when I wake again, it will be with the sun, I will start again and keep growing like the flowers of the earth.
