This card says: Nourished over full. You can fill yourself with garbage and you’d be full but you would not be nourished. This applies to your body, your soul, your mind. You must choose nourishment. That’s how you feel a deep sense of contentment. It’s how you flourish. Choose to be nourished. I need to remind myself of this very often. Every piece of food and drink I put into my body, everything I put on my skin (or don’t put), everything I watch, I read, I say, I hear, it’s all feeding a part of me. It’s determining how I feel, who I am, what I choose. I want to feel nourished. not just full. Twenty Mantras is a Monthly Project for October 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here.

This card says: Make Space. You have no time. No one has any time. You never had any time. Except you do of course. This is not about having time. It’s about “making” time. You make space for this in your schedule. that’s how this works.
This card says: Push Harder. It’s okay to take it easy when you need to but it’s also okay to push harder every now and then. It’s ok to understand your limitations and to test them. See if you have improved. See if you can do better now. Give yourself that nudge occasionally. Push a little harder.
This card says: Show up. If you can only do one thing, it’s this one. Show up. You have to show up to your life. To the things that matter. You have to participate in shaping it the way you want it to turn out. The universe has your back but you must show up.
This card says: Be gentle with yourself. This is going to take a while sweet girl. It’s not a shortcut when you want to change your life. So it’s going to have ups and downs. That’s to be expected. Do not be unkind. Be gentle with yourself and allow for faltering. Then go on!
This card says: Do the next right thing. You can’t think too far ahead here. There will be things you can’t plan for and things that are tough to deal with. It’s okay. Just do the next right thing every single time and you will see that it all works out.
This card says: Just a little more. When you feel like you want to give up, just remind yourself you can do a little more. Just a small amount more and you will be done. Just a tiny bit more each time will be a huge change over time. It will work out. Just give a little more.
This card says: Stay Strong. This is the goal, sweet girl. The end game. You want to remind yourself that the goal is to get and stay strong in your body. To do this, you need to stay strong in your mind. Let your strong head remind you to show up and do it so your body can be strong.
This card says: One day at a time. Nothing happens overnight. You didn’t get to this place overnight and you will not leave this place overnight. It will take effort. It will take showing up. It will take doing it every day: one day at a time. You will get there.
Back in July, I finally started on a wellness journey thanks to Ali Edwards sharing much of hers and inspiring me. I’m not sure if I’ll still be on it by October, but as part of the July OLW assignment, I made myself twenty mantra cards to keep myself going during this new phase. So I will be sharing one every day.
