What is a mantra you say to yourself when things get tough? What words help pull you through a crisis?

Question

One can tell that you are a survivor and not a speller.

Answer 1

I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo when I'm under a great deal of stress....This is a Buddhist chant which means "Deriving Energy from the Mystic Law of Cause & Effect through Sound" which is why I chant out loud. However, sometimes I can't chant outloud, and even when I chant silently, I can feel the power of this prayer working.

Answer 2

When facing something frightening or overwhelming Psalm 23 always comes to mind, and I repeat the first verse to myself:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want......
Sometimes I say the other verses, too.

Answer 3

Om shri Ram
Ja-y Ram
Ja-y, Ja-y Ram

Good Luck

Answer 4

A night of drinking with friends usually helps me out. Not really words, but its somehing to take your mind off of the problem and/or oppertunity to voice it.

Answer 5

Uhh, mantras don't work. There is no such thing as a "mantra". Simply repeating something won't make it true.

Answer 6

Seriously....read the lyrics..
