    edited February 13 in Motivation and Support
    I truly believe positive thoughts contribute to reaching our goals. My favorites:

    Finish what you started.

    It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    Nobody can do it for you.

    Look at what you've accomplished so far, you can do more!

    What is your mantra?

      My all around motivational, comforting, and reassuring mantra is "If you want chaos, look around. If you want peace, look up."

      After I get with that everything else is somewhat manageable.

      I solve peoples' problems all day long. When I come home it's like working a second shift. The hour-an-a-half that I'm at the gym, I don't have my phone near me, I can't see all the housework I need to do, no one needs attending to.

      So my motivational mantra is:

      "This is MY time!"

      Stop being mediocre.

      Fabulous isn't easy- if it was- everyone would do it.

      WERK.

      For the last little while it has been:

      Eat real food and lift heavy things.

      Don't worry about tomorrow, do what you need to do today.

      "Suck it up now so you don't have to suck it in later."

      Also the quote in my ticker is what goes through my mind everyday.

      Too blessed to be stressed....it's my reminder to focus on what's positive in my life, not stress out about things I have no control over.

      This is a bit of a longer one, but a very wise lady once told me:

      "Don't waste your 30's wishing you were still in your 20's. When you're forty, thirty will seem very young to you. Then you will wish you hadn't spent those years looking for something that could never be. Be the very best that you can be NOW. Every age has its light."

      I think you can insert any age group into that statement, and it makes sense.

      Several:
      It is okay to be selfish
      It is my turn
      Protein over pastry!

      I also ask myself if me in one year will remember the treat I didn't eat or appreciate my will power!

      I always liked these to get me by.

      "The Paradoxical Commandments"

      People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
      Love them anyway.

      If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
      Do good anyway.

      If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
      Succeed anyway.

      The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
      Do good anyway.

      Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
      Be honest and frank anyway.

      The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
      Think big anyway.

      People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
      Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

      What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
      Build anyway.

      People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
      Help people anyway.

      Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
      Give the world the best you have anyway.

      Love it!!!

      I have a couple:
      "The pain of being overweight is far worse than the pain of working out"
      "I am ready to love my body. I have loved food more than myself for far to long"

      I hate to say it, but when I am pushing it very hard, I just get mad. At the enemy. There is an evil force that wants to hold me back from saving myself and the entire universe. And when I think about quitting, I know the evil force (of death, disease, donuts, sofas and too much facebook frumpy sausage and mediocrity) has sneaked in through some crack in the woodwork, and I get mad. Then Rage Against the Machine is my background music and I'm all like, "*kitten* YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!"
      So
      I guess that's my mantra at those times.
      Fk you, I won't do what you tell me.

      The difference between possible and impossible is often in the woman's determination.
