So, we’re reintroducing Mantra Mondays into our weekly Instagram theme. After all, everyone can use a good affirmation.

Mantras can come in many forms but we’ll mostly be posting words of encouragement. Words that inspire and confirm the badassness boss that you know you are. No, seriously we know that mantras really work. What you tell yourself is so important. Especially when you’re in a work funk or are having any other side effects that come with being a woman in STEM. Test out the magic of mantras by repeating them to yourself. In addition, you could record yourself saying the words on your smartphone, or another device, and listen to it later. You could also take a mental snapshot and remind yourself throughout the day to (insert mantra’s verb).

One other thing, when you’re scrolling through Instagram and see one of our Mantras in your feed or on our story, send it some love back.
