Modern Mantras

April 17, 2014 Ben Jurney
 

NOURISH YOUR SPIRIT

Harness your self-esteem. Stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself, “I have a strong Twitter presence.” Repeat three to twenty times a day.


REACH INTO YOUR COMMUNITY

Reap strength from others. Chant, “I am a titan of LinkedIn,” during communal meditation. Lower yourself into child's pose and connect to a professional network.


FIND SOLACE IN NATURE

Seek natural healing. Stand under a waterfall and think to yourself, “I can create buzz.” Carve your low Klout score into a creekbed and watch the elements erode the text.


EMBRACE SOLITUDE

Chase self-awareness. Become conscious of your breath, and speak: “I am greater than the sum of my notifications.” For each status that goes unliked, unfriend 20 people.


UNITE MIND & BODY

Unlock your spirit. Walk onto a beach and remind yourself, “I have a dynamic personal website.” Release your Chi by punching the sand and screaming into your towel.


DIE

Kind of an easy out, but effective nonetheless.
