I love the idea of having a weight loss, exercise, or dieting mantra. I have been in search of one that will work for me and remind me of what I am working towards in my times of weakness. In my search, I have turned up a few that I really love and I'd like to share . They are not ranked in any order except for the first one listed. I am adopting it to keep my world a little more in focus.
-- Don't give up what you want most for what you want in the moment.
-- Admire what you have accomplished and bask in it. The rest will come in time.
-- Every step counts.
-- Don't quite before trying.
-- If it was easy, everyone would do it.
-- What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
-- I am building the life I love.
-- Don't try- just do.
-- No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping the person laying on the couch.
-- Nothing changes is you change nothing.
All of them are good advice and I think I'll print them out and stick them to my fridge. Or randomly on post-its all over my house. And on the rearview mirror in my car. And on my pantry. You get the idea.
Do you have a mantra? What works for you??
I do have one completely unrelated mantra that I have pasted to my desk to remind me of what life is about and that the only one responsible for me, is.... ME. Words to live by: "Make your own sunshine."
These are just some of my favorite quotes:)
ReplyDelete- Wake up with determination, go to bed with satisfaction.
- Eat Clean, train dirty
- If you are tired of starting over, stop giving up.
- You can have results or excuses, not both.
- A few months from now, you will have wish you started today
- Abs are made in the kitchen
Stop, take a deep breath and relax your shoulders, it's going to be ok... Be kind to yourself! Get out of bed, exercise and eat better. These are what I have as notes on my computer, the minute I open it they are there in the corner. Ever time I read the relax one it amazes me how close to my ears my shoulders always are... I carry all my tension and stress in my neck and shoulders. It works when I listen.... good luck on your journey!
ReplyDeleteShanila- I love the "abs are made in the kitchen." Good one to remember.
ReplyDeleteMichelle- I think I will add the "Relax your shoulders" to post-its around my house and desk because it took that comment to realize that I was scrunched up myself! Thanks!
