We remember our past in terms of big moments and significant memories and we plan for our future on a grand scale. But when it comes down to it, we don't live our lives in major events but in minor moments. This autumn season, focus on slowing down and enjoying the small, simple things. Consider starting a gratitude journal, or just returning to this mantra when you eat a favorite food or snuggle into bed at the end of a day filled with simple joys.

"Enjoy the simple things"

What does "up" mean for you? Maybe you're striving for success in your personal or professional life. Maybe you're trying to turn your attentions to more spiritual things, or you just want to "keep your chin up" and practice a more positive attitude. Whatever "up" means for you, this inspirational mantra can remind you to keep your eyes on the prize. Whenever you find yourself looking at the ground or feeling bogged down by the stresses and struggles of life, return to this simple phrase and stay focused on moving up towards where you want to be.

"Go up and never stop"

This autumn equinox, you might be needing to leave something behind. If something is too heavy to carry or it's keeping you stuck in the past, find a way to release it. Whether you need to set aside a grudge, challenge a fear that's been holding you back, or move on from a pattern that isn't helping you anymore, this three-word mantra can help you lighten your load and step forward into the future with open hands, ready to receive whatever's next.

"Let it go"

You're here for a reason. Wherever you have found yourself in life, it's the place for you. Maybe you're back in your hometown, or maybe you've recently moved to a new city. Maybe you've found yourself in a season of singleness, or maybe you're navigating a relationship. No matter where you are, let this mantra remind you to commit to your life in the here and now. At one point in the past, you looked forward to being here — so take a look around, reflect on these words, and know that this must be the place.

"This must be the place"

There are so many things in this world that we can't control. Everything from other people's decisions to the ongoing flow of time falls under the category of "things we cannot change." You may be someone who struggles with this reality — you want to be able to solve every problem or impact any situation. This mantra is a simple reminder that sometimes acceptance is the best path forward. When you find yourself frustrated with something beyond your control, return to this mantra and do your best to "let it be."

"Let it be"

No matter what you've accomplished, what you look like, whether you're in a relationship, or what anyone else thinks, you are enough. You are worthy, lovable, and deserving of a place here in this universe. But this can be difficult to remember. Perfectionism, judgment, and shame make us think that we have to earn love or convince other people that we belong here. This mantra is great for those of us who need a daily reminder that we carry all that we need within us.

"You are enough"

If you're someone who daydreams about "what-ifs" and often second-guesses your own choices, this is the mantra for you. Remember that whatever you decide to do, you should do it with all your heart! Being half-committed to your own life is a surefire recipe for misery. Once you make a choice, jump in with both feet and do your best to make it work. Whether it's brushing your teeth in the morning, starting a new job, adopting a new pet, or decorating your room, keep this mantra going to remind you to do it with all your heart.

"With all your heart"

Breathing is one of the first things we do when we come into this world and it's one of the most crucial processes for life. It's a great way to connect with your mind and body and it's calming, pleasant, and healthy. But many of us forget to stop and take a good, deep, cleansing breath often enough. If you're someone who's heading into the autumn season feeling rushed or stretched a bit thin, take up this mantra as a daily reminder to slow down, settle into your body, and just breathe.

"And breathe"
