The more I use my mantram, the more I see how versatile a tool it can be. They are always available and are very time friendly. My only problems are that sometimes I feel mantrams are not enough--they are good for quick calming down and in-the-moment relaxation but they fail to provide a lasting calm. I feel that exercise is much better at providing a long-lasting relaxed state and in this reguard is superior to both yoga and mantrams. However, I do have an appreciation for mantrams.
In other news, taking weekly tests about my stress levels is becoming very very hard to remember. I stopped using the Daily Stress Inventory a long time ago but it's hard to use the other inventories even. I feel that they are useful, but it is difficult to self-monitor and motivate to take tests as opposed to the relative ease of remembering to record my stress levels before and after an intervention.
