A smile can mask so much, the pain behind the smile the silent cries for help.
Let me ask a question, do you have a mantra you repeat every day? Are you willing to accept a challenge?
Create a mantra to repeat for the next seven days.

My Mantra is:
I am Magnificent
I am Love
I am Health
I am Beautiful
I am Peace

I am Wealth
I am my unique self
I am ME!
After the seven days, write down what changes you felt each day?
I hope you will find this journey as rewarding as I am.
