Okay, everyone seems to want more simple mantras to use.
Here's another one for you.
"Great." Enthusiastically.
So simple, so effective. When do you use it?
Whenever anyone asks you how you are.
Her: How are you?
You: Great.
Always. Whether you're great or not. Another example.
Her: How's everything going?
You: Great.
Nobody cares about your problems. When you smile, the world smiles with you, when you cry, you cry alone. If you're great, people want to be around you. If you're not, get lost loser. It's just the way of the world. But perhaps the "great" works best when things AREN'T great. For example, right now I'm just getting over a head cold/sinus problem. I feel kind of crappy, and I don't sound so great either. I'm at work and pass a cute girl in the hall, who I know only in passing.
Her: How are you today?
Me (smiling): Great.
Her (laughing): You don't SOUND great. Sinus problems?
Me (still grinning): Nothing I can't handle.
Powerful stuff here.
