Thinking positively helps you to move on and move forward. Although it might seem trite, I think it’s true. A little mantra goes a long way. I suppose that is why I often create art with little sayings and pick me ups. I’m trying to remind myself of these things…
You can do it. Carpe diem. I am Artist, hear me roar. Simple…yet happy and helpful little words.
A mantra is supposed to help you create transformation… and I think anything that makes you smile, laugh a little, and breathe easier counts! It’s all well worth the effort. Do you have a happiness mantra? A favorite song that always picks you up? A photo that puts a smile on your face? A piece of art that reminds you about the important things in life?
Today I had a bit of a scare in Italy – earthquake in the North and a mysterious fire with smoke in a local town. It made me turn to my little tools for happiness, telling myself everything was going to be okay. Big or small, anything that helps you through the day is a good thing. Try to keep your happiness mantra(s) close at hand. It really helps.

I think my happiness “mantra” is a cup of tea. I know that sounds weird, but it’s like a magic wand for me- it changes how I feel about almost everything, and sort of forces me to sit still, take a few breaths, and just BE for a few seconds.
I think it’s wonderful that you know what gives you a bit of calm and happiness… the fact that you can get a cup of tea quite often makes it even better
I think it’s so important for all of us to learn what helps us to trigger happiness and calm. It seems weird, but I think some of us don’t know what to turn to in times of need. Certainly the people around us, but we need more tools and methods…
