Question about English (US)
I know that mantra means to repeat some phrases when you are nervous or trying to concentrate
I used to say a lot ‘you know’ in conversation. Can this also be called mantra?
How about Phrases or idioms that you regularly use? Say ‘I personally feel’ or ‘am no quitter’

A mantra is a sentence or word you repeat to yourself for the purpose of building your character, or developing more of any quality you desire to acquire within yourself.
For example, "I'm completely at ease socializing with new people" would be a good mantra for someone who gets anxious when interacting with strangers.
A mantra can also simply be one word, like "peace" for ex.. which is repeated in order to achieve a certain state of being (in this example, to achieve a calm feeling.)
