Happiness is an elusive term for many of us. We work hard every day to achieve success in our career and we try to be dedicated to family and friends, yet, somehow we don’t feel truly happy.
Many of us are chasing after things we think we want or are led to believe we want by society, but we haven’t taken the time to really reflect on what it is that would make us happy.
Often, those things that would bring us joy and contentment in life are not the goals we pursue.
This article can help motivate you to give some time to thinking about what the concept of happiness looks like to you.
In addition, we will look at mantras that can help you start living a more fulfilling and peaceful existence.
Before we dive into our various lists of mantras, let’s take a few minutes to talk about what exactly a mantra is.
Mantras are words or phrases that are repeated to help us focus on a key idea or feeling.
We repeat a mantra often as part of meditation when we are quiet and still and allow our minds to focus.
We repeat a positive word or phrase and, through this repetition, program our brains to think in this way.
In this article, I will look at mantras for the following:
- To bring positivity
- For a relaxed day
- To start your day
- For a contented life
- For peace of mind
- To excite your life
Let’s begin!
Mantras To Bring Positivity
Our lives today are very demanding and super busy. We have schedules that pull us every which way and keep us constantly running; we deal with challenges at work and at home and we worry about it all.
As a mother of five, I have lived this existence. I would often find myself frowning, snapping at a co-worker or one of my kids, and conducting my days like I was carrying an enormous burden on my shoulders.
It took heightened blood pressure and witnessing the serious heart problems of a good friend to wake me up to the fact that I needed to change something.
As I looked at my friend lying in a hospital bed, my heart went out to her. How did this happen? How did she get to this state?
As I walked out of the hospital, I had a eureka moment: this could be me. I needed to flip the switch on my approach to life.
I went from negativity to positivity and began assessing everything in my life from a changed perspective.
A critical part of that change was incorporating positivity mantras into my life. Read through the following list and focus on those that really speak to you.
They could be the beginning of a positive change in your life.

Relaxation may look different to you than it will to the next person. That’s totally fine. Relaxation should be personal.
