Mantras
 

Okay, I know I know, the California girl brings up such a flaky subject. However, I think Mantras are really powerful.

If you don't know what a Mantra is, it's a phrase or words that you say over and over again. Usually it's done during yoga or meditation but I've done them on the treadmill to get me through the last 10 minutes without quitting.

Today, I really wanted a new mantra to repeat during a short meditation we do at the beginning of our yoga class but I couldn't think of a good one. I figured you girls might be some inspiration.

Here are my current Mantras:
om-mani-padme-om (which means "I bow to the Jewel within" or "I recognize the Goddess within.")

I am Xena Warrior Princess! (I know this is silly but it works!)

When I'm really desperate, I repeat: I am Thin Within!

Okay, gimme some inspiration!

My bracelet says..."It's up to me"

I was also thinking "I am worth it"

how about

thin, thin, thin, thin
healthy, healthy, healthy

in counseling we talked about mantras. and for a while i was using some pretty cool ones but they weren't weight related. LOL

i love the one Towanda!! (i love that movie!!!)

WW3FCD (What would 3FC 100lb club people want me to do?)

WWHAD? (What would healthy Apryl do?)

Of course, ya'll can feel free too fill in your *OWN* names! :lol::lol:

i say things like:

i am strong. i can do this.

just a little more. i can do this

one more time. i can do this

hmmm. there seems to be a theme here!!!!

TOWANDA!!! i am SO going to use that now!!

"I am the captain of this ship!"

when I am on the treadmill I tell my self to "grind it out, and to get tough." I also like "I feel strong, I feel confident, I feel in control" when I walk or rollerblade.
