Mantras

Normally I use mantras and positive reinforcement for my subs. Normally, the mantra I give them goes something like... "I am beautiful, I am loved, and I am Owned" or perhaps something more substantial full of statements beginning with "I will", or "I am". But basically the mantras I give my subs all touch on the concept of being owned or having given up their control to another.

About three weeks ago it dawned on me that this is what I needed in my life. A mantra might possibly help me to get over my issues. To help me feel dominant again, to help me feel happy again. SO I started thinking about a mantra for myself. the one I came up with was...

"I don't need to be happy unless I want to be happy."

Most of my friends try very hard to help me overcome the issues I'm facing. But the one thing that really annoys me more than any other is this idea that I have to be happy. And I'm sure that my friends are tired of trying to make me happy. Yes I can be a real grumpy gus when I want to. The above mantra is interesting because it lessens the pressure on me to be happy. I don't have to be happy. I don't have to do anything I don't want to. So this mantra simply reminds me that when I want to be happy I can be. But what also makes it interesting is that it ends with the words "I want to be happy". The reason why it ends this way is because I wanted the mantra to leave me with something that would change my mind. Negative energy is very strong. If I had ended it with something negative, then that energy would have been carried through as I ended the mantra. However in this case the positive is emphasized leaving me with a positive energy to carry forward. and thus it sets me up to be happy.

So my task for this week is to write a new mantra to help me set the intention that I want to have another submissive. I know I'm not ready for it just yet. I need a lot more work on myself before I will be ready for it. But it doesn't hurt to work and get myself where I need to be. It's a long process but I have faith that it will happen. After all we are our own self-fulling prophecies aren't we?
