What is a Mantra?

A mantra is a short, easy-to-remember phrase that, if you repeat it to yourself, will help remind you how to positively respond to or cope with a specific situation you may find yourself in.

In addition, if you use the right kind of mantras on a regular basis, they will help you build a better brain equipped with some really useful tools that will help you to have a more positive view of life, and that will help you deal with almost any situation you may encounter.
