Monday Mantra: Drawing a Line in the Sand

A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of "creating transformation".

Every Monday I will post a new thought, idea, or focus for the week. When you need a breather from life, when you need a little inspiration, or when you're about to jump over the conference table and strangle your co-worker, remember the mantra.

Monday Mantra: It's time to make some decisions

Society6

Drawing a line in the sand is a figure of speech used to demonstrate the idea that something (a thought, action, etc.) will not be supported past a certain point.

The end of every year draws an invisible line in imaginary sand allowing you an opportunity to start fresh yet again. To put the mistakes and errors and irritations of the past behind you so you can look to better, happier, brighter times.

Sometimes it's a job you need to leave. Sometimes it's a relationship, a friendship, a bad habit or hairdo. Sometimes it's a pattern of thinking that hasn't served you well.

Whatever your "thing/s" might be, have courage and patience. The changes you need to make may seem daunting, but along with that comes a feeling of freedom, once you become comfortable in your new normal, whatever that may be.

Look at your life, decide on needed change, and go forward into the new year with conviction that the lines you've drawn are there not to box you in or cut you off, but to show you just how far you've come time and time again.
