Mantra Lamp

I’ve always had a pretty harsh inner critic and recently I have been able to recognize the negative impact it’s been having on me and how I view myself in the world. I’ve been skeptical of positive affirmations or mantras because it always felt a kind of silly but mine came about pretty organically, starting with a phrase at the beginning of yoga and then it made its way into my morning pages. Some days I believe it and some days I don’t. On the days I don’t believe it, I can at least recognize it’s aspirational and may not be literal just yet.
