Create Your Own Personal Motto and Mantra for 2023

Hopefully, the parties are over. And, your thoughts are focused on what you want to accomplish in 2023. I read an article about New Year Resolutions and how most people try to keep them but they tend to fizzle away after a couple months. An alternative might be to create yourself a personal motto or mantra for 2023. Personal mottos make you focus on the things that you care about more so than specific goals. They bring your character into focus and a standard to hold yourself to. A motto is usually longer than a mantra but if you repeat a short motto over and over, it can serve as a mantra – healthy self-talk.

Examples of personal mottos and mantras are:
Health first
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Think before you speak
One day at a time
Keep calm and carry on
Every wall is a door
The way I treat myself sets the standard for others
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
“Good enough” isn’t good enough”
