"Do it for the tentacles"

To explain: I have a tattoo of an Octopus over 75% of my body. Watching that change as I do, is pretty awesome.

Would like to see them

Quit being a pansy and woman up! ... not really a mantra but meh...

Faster each day

Everything gets easier with practice.

(So I should do/practice only those things I want to keep repeating.)

I also use this mantra when I'm running long distances.

"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable"

my kid said this thing when he was 9. never played baseball before, never been a catcher, seemed really happy at shortstop. but one day he starts the game behind the plate. he just blew people away. i asked him about it afterwards and he got all nine-year-old earnest and said 'i didn't know if i could do it, but i had a feeling maybe i could. so i just wanted to try it and see.'

that's my mantra. i don't know if i can or not, but i do want to find out.

When I was losing my general mantra was "I Can and I Will".

...And I did.

You will remain the same until the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of changing.

It's silly but also motivational.

Mine is "You're almost there. You got this! It's a step in the right direction. Just one day at a time.You'll get there."

BodyByBex

I mostly just stare myself down.... in the gym mirrors....especially on dead lift days...

The other problem is rest days. I enjoy my workout results so far and sometimes it takes a LOT of me mentally talking myself down to take a rest day.

I find that planning your meals are imperative to staying on track (of course, I myself forget this often. Lol)

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"

For exercise: yes I can.
For eating: make choices you won't regret later.

I just keep telling myself "but did you die?" Then do it again the next day!!

Me too! I have an octopus taking up about 1/2 of my upper back/shoulder.

Also, mine is "I learned a long time ago that a person can stand just about anything for 10 seconds, then you just start on a new 10 seconds. All you’ve got to do is take it 10 seconds at a time." - The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

(in regard to exercise)

I think I have found my mantra.. I have never been skinny in my life.. so now I want to do it and see how it feels..

Also, "I know what happens when I give up; I want to see what happens when I don't."
