    my mantra is:

    "…to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another." ~Titus 3:2-3


    one mantra that i say a lot during running (when i think i can't go one more step, i will this repeat over and over) is: "please, God, help me. for in my weakness, you are my strength." it has ALWAYS taken me where i need to go. in exercise and in life.


    *edited to add: another mantra i love repeating is 'outwardly simple and inwardly rich'. :)

    "You can't beat the person who never gives up"

    "If you want to be exceptional you have to act exceptionally" (I like this one because I find myself thinking, it won't hurt to have one, everyone needs a break some times. But then I don't want to be like everyone else so I can't justify acting like them :))

    "You've GOT this, girl!" because I know that "once your mind is SET, it's as good as DONE!"

    I like these mantra's. I have a lot of different things I tell myself but I have to give Yoda credit for these wise words "Do or Do Not There Is No Try." =) I have it engraved on the back of my iPod and like to look at it when I want to stop running and whatever exercise Im doing.

    Feed my machine!
    If it isn't good fuel, I am eating it for a different reason.

    Great topic!!

    When I am working out and I feel like I'm going to die I say to myself, "Whose strong? I'm STRONG!" Gets me through and keeps me focused :smile:

    My main one now is "It's mind over matter". I repeat it over and over until I get past my "wall" during a workout. I will definitely be using some of these others. What a great post!
