Unlike a mantra, which is always the same, gathas can be as different as the need or issue before you. Other ways to use gathas can include common daily events such as:
- Eating: "I am grateful for this meal and will consume it mindfully, appreciatively."
- Exercising: "I am grateful for the gift of my body. I will treat it with respect, giving it the activity it needs to remain healthy and strong."
- Listening: "My friend needs me to hear him/her. I remain open, receptive and nonjudgmental."
- Working: "My work allows me to feed, shelter and clothe myself and my family. I am thankful and will offer my best on the job."
- Driving: "As I commute and drive, I do so with care and compassion for others on the road."
