A mantra is a word or phrase that is repeated mentally or aloud to achieve a desired state of mind. In psychological terms, a mantra can be seen as a form of self-suggestion or affirmation that can influence one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviours. A mantra can help one to focus, relax, cope with stress, enhance self-esteem, or promote positive change. A mantra can be chosen based on one’s personal preferences, goals, values, or beliefs. Some examples of mantras are: “I am calm and confident”, “I can do this”, “I am grateful for what I have”, or “Om”.
