Mantras are one of the most powerful tools at your disposal for positive thinking and meditation. Repeating a great mantra during your morning meditation is an excellent way to start your day! 

If you’re considering adding mantras and meditation into your morning routine, consider trying one of these five simple mantras to calm yourself and focus your mind for a great, positive day. Simply read each one and repeat the words aloud as you read them. Or if you prefer, read them in silence to yourself. Either way, beginning your day with a mantra is a fantastic way to reinforce positive thinking in your day especially if you incorporate one into your daily meditation routine.

Morning Mantra 1:

“I can do hard things.”

This mantra is a simple reminder that, no matter what kind of challenges arise during your day, you can handle the task. Difficult situations are a part of life; reminding yourself that you have the power to tackle them head-on starts your day right by putting you in the driver’s seat of your personal situations. Starting your day with this simple reminder gets you mentally prepared to handle the day’s challenges.

Morning Mantra 2:

“Today is an opportunity.”

Every day is an opportunity–it is totally up to you whether you’ll make it into a good or bad one. Just as we must remind ourselves that we can’t control everything in life, it’s important to also remember that we can control our attitudes and our reactions. 

As you repeat this morning mantra, set your intentions that your day will be filled with positivity and good opportunities so you can get out there and manifest it! Even when things get tough, you can turn a rough situation into some kind of useful opportunity.

Morning Mantra 3: 

“It is okay to not have control.”

This mantra is a tried-and-true wonderful way to make for a great day. At first, it seems negative. After all, nobody likes to realize that they don’t have control over everything. It feels scary to realize things can happen whether you want them to or not. It feels even worse when we allow ourselves to believe everything bad that happens is our fault. 

However, not having 100% control over everything is simply a fact of life. When we use this mantra first thing in the morning, it allows ourselves room for errors, but most importantly, it allows ourselves room for acceptance and opportunity for growth. 

No, you can’t control everything, but you can control how you react to tough situations and learn from them.

Morning Mantra 4:

“I am peace and light.”

Reminding yourself of the gift that you are is a surefire way to make for a great day. If you want to take a moment to celebrate yourself, appreciate who you are, and reflect on the goodness you’re going to put into the world by just being you, try this mantra on for size!

Setting an intention to put peace and light out into the world is a powerful way to start the day. Not only are you filling your mind with relaxation and positivity, but you’re ensuring that your inner peace and light will shine out onto others during your day. It’s a win-win situation.

Morning Mantra 5: 

“I am exactly where I need to be.”

If you’re in a life situation that feels difficult, getting your day started can feel nearly impossible. If you’re going to a job you hate, stuck in a relationship you don’t like, or facing a serious challenge, it’s tough to accept things when life gets too hard. 

Starting your day with this mantra is a great reminder that, even when you’re facing serious hardship and challenge, you are where you need to be in the vast universe. Every problem serves to teach a lesson. Although the lesson may be extremely tough to face, you are where you need to be, and you will learn what life needs to teach you during the struggle.
