Three Mantras I live by

I want to give you a peek into my mind today. Excitingggggg!

My business has grown exponentially since it started 2.5 years ago. I know that the kind of growth we have experienced is something to be proud of! I attribute most of this massive success to my mindset.

Your mindset matters the MOST in life. This is because everything you experience in life starts in your mind. It starts with your perception. The kind of emotions you experience, health or dis-ease, the life you manifest, stress, your energy, how motivated you are – all of this is dictated by what’s going on in your mind.

Once I understood this, my entire life changed! I really understood how I am the creator of my reality. Ever since I have been very particular about what I think and what I give my attention to.

I am also very grateful for the challenging life experiences that helped me develop a growth mindset, or as I like to call it – a magic mindset! So here I am, sharing a bit of the magic with you, with these 3 mantras I live by.

• Mantra 1 – Be curious. Approach everything new as you would an experiment.

I’ve often been asked in interviews – “What do you attribute your success to?” My answer has always been – “Failure doesn’t exist in my dictionary!” That’s because I treat everything new I create and do as an experiment. 

Let’s look at the definition of an experiment here: A (scientific) test in which you perform a series of actions and carefully observe their effects in order to learn about something.

An experiment is simply something you do to see what possible outcomes may occur. 

What’s the worst that can happen? You LEARN! You GROW! That’s actually an amazing outcome – the worst that can happen is you GROW!

I launched a bunch of products last year. One of them was the Moon Playbooks – a workbook with prompts and exercises for New Moons and Full Moons. They were very popular!

I then received guidance from my intuition to stop creating the moon playbooks in September 2022. So the product franchise ran for about 6 months. Does that mean it failed? Hell no! It was fun while it lasted, it changed lots of lives and then it ran its course. It came into our lives for a certain period of time and fulfilled its purpose.

Do you know what else I got from those playbooks? I realised that I can channel the guidance I receive from the Universe into writing as well! I was already doing it in Coaching calls. My clients know I call myself a Medium for the Universe. It was so cool to just be an empty vessel, and watch as the energy flowing through me filled the pages. 

And THAT is what created the foundation for these mailers. I don’t plan them in advance. I sit and ask the Universe to use me as a channel to deliver the message that you need.

There are some things in my business that didn’t work. I’ve had program launches that didn’t have a single sign-up. Did I think I failed? Nope. I just asked myself – what did I learn from this? How can I tweak the steps of this experiment in the future? And THAT makes the process so fun! 

• Mantra 2 – Clarity comes with action

Out of all the mantras, this one is my personal favourite. I love taking action! I very rarely feel fear before I take action. I’m the kind of person who feels fear AFTER I have taken the action😂. But that’s just my brain trying to keep me safe.

A lot of people wait to know everything before taking action. They want to know if it will actually work out because they feel afraid of the unknown. I LOVE the unknown. I go and give it a BIG HUG as I move towards it.

You see, you can never fully know if something works, or if something is for you unless you take action. For eg. I have tried a lot of marketing strategies since I started the business. Some worked, some didn’t. However, I could know what worked only after I had taken the action.

I never sit and wonder “Will this work? Should I do it? What will people think?”
To borrow from Nike, I just do it! That way it’s out of your mind and into the world and you KNOW. 

Actually, that’s exactly how I started my business! I had the idea. I felt the pull and I took action. Thank the Universe I did, because it led to my best life and the best life for all my clients.

I know from the work I do with clients that the more you keep thinking about whether to do it or not, the more mind-space it takes, and the less likely you are to take action. 

The action builds momentum and makes you move forward. For anything to happen in life, we need to take action! Whether you want to eat a meal, type an email, or build a business; they all require action.

Thinking about taking action is actually more exhausting than taking action! You can quote me on that.😉

• Mantra 3 – The fun is in the process!

This one ties a pretty bow on the other two mantras

I remember this conversation I had with a private client. She is an artist and designer. She was afraid to take action and create art in case she didn’t meet her own expectations.

I asked her, “When you started drawing, what made you do it?”

She said, “Because I enjoyed it!”

I said, “So when you started, the outcome wasn’t the goal. The process is what got you hooked.”

She was quiet for a few moments, as it hit her that she was so focused on the outcome that she had forgotten that she actually enjoyed drawing!

This holds true for a lot of people. They start doing something because they enjoy it. But somewhere along the way they start putting too much pressure on the outcome and they forget why they are doing what they are doing.

Whether it’s a workout, eating, creating a new program or building my business – I have fun in the process. This, BTW, is a very useful manifesting mantra as well. 

Find the fun where you are instead of thinking it lies in the future. Because if you think it lies in the future, when you reach that future you will continue to feel it lies in the future.

Trust me when I say, you don’t want to go through life thinking that your life starts in the future or the fun part comes later. Don’t go through life thinking “I just need to get this over with.” Instead, ask yourself – how can I have fun with this?

There are, of course, many more mantras I live by. Maybe the Universe will inspire me to share them in the future. For now, I invite you to make these mantras your own.

Feel free to drop a comment if something resonates with you deeply from any of the mantras. I love hearing from you.❤️

All my love,
Raashi
