In my book, Live A Beautiful Life with Lupus: Habits and Rituals for Thriving with an Autoimmune Disease, I discuss the use of a mantra to assist you in remembering the importance of habits and rituals. This mantra emphasizes the habit of embracing uncertainty—an embracing uncertainty mantra.
What Is A Mantra?
A mantra is a way to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. This redirect is accomplished by coming up with several short sentences that you then repeat in your mind or under your breath during meditation or focus sessions.
The idea behind it is that by flooding your mind with positive thoughts and expectations, you don’t give entry to any repetitive negative self talk. It’s also a form of verbal visualization to tell your brain about the outcome you desire. A mantra can be a very important tool for living with Lupus and managing the disease.
I wrote this Beautiful Life Mantra to help with the habit of embracing uncertainty and how this habit benefits the Lupus mind….
I will not allow my fears of Lupus to control my life.
I embrace uncertainty, knowing and trusting that
I am strong and prepared to handle whatever tomorrow brings.
