Every year, we start fresh with what we hope becomes a newer, better version of ourselves. We write resolutions, sign up for gym memberships, eat healthier, and do the things we hope will stick for the rest of the year. Sometimes those things stick, and sometimes they don't. But no matter what the new year brings promise of a better year and being better to ourselves and to others. In the past (like in 2013), I've tried to give myself a pat on the back for things I did a good job at that year while also noting what needs to be worked on for the new year. This year, I've decided to give myself a personal mantra to just enjoy life a little bit more and not take it all so seriously. Here's the line that I will recite to myself when I am being my worst selfโmy stressed out, anxious, impatient, cranky, and tired self. And hoping that my best selfโmy happy, optimistic, sing-songs-badly-to-the-top-of-my-lungs self comes out a little more often this year…
Is there something that you're writing on your forehead this year?
I dig it sister!
This is a great mantra! ๐

So agree with u..nice mantra!
Will we get to see a video of you singing frozen next then please??
This is lovely – unique and obviously very personal. I haven’t come up with a 2015 mantra/resolution yet but this one resonates with me a lot! I might steal (er, borrow?) it, Joy! ๐
Ha! Yes, do it! ๐
Joy
Um totally! Except no one will be saying โJoy has a good voice!โ like they did for Bob! ;P
Joy
good one!
Hehe, thanks for your “blessing.” My 4th grade teacher taught me that copying is the highest form of flattery, so… ๐
But we’ll be saying how much more we love you for it!! ๐
I will give you a personal concert ๐
Joy
really nice one!
My personal mantra for next year: Trying to do absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes + Repeating whenever possible.
Love Lotte
I love this graphic, words, and the sentiment so much! You’ll have fun with this one. My one goal/word/mantra for this year is surrender. Let go of worries and need for perfection.
That’s a great mantra! More playfulness and more fun are two things that we can all do with!
I haven’t selected a mantra for myself for this year, mostly because I feel like my needs and my inner talk can change so much from January to December. So I guess I have a mantra after all: “live in the moment” ๐
LOVE IT! Mine would be “Let The Geek Flag Fly!”
I think mine will be “work it girl”
‘Give thanks and appreciate’ ๐
Love your mantra! It actually gave me a lot to think about and re-evaluate my new year’s resolution, I think some times the crazy ones have way more fun!

Marvelous! I like the simplicity of it, but the challenge of it.
My mantra is to live with purpose and to simplify my life. I like your mantra too. Cheers for all the good work that you did last year and good luck for the new year dear.
Love,
Janika

I’ve started with a mantra this year too! I wrote a post about it on my blog. Good luck for the new year!
Lots of love,
What a great mantra! I need to do this as well to avoid boring moments.
Way to go!
