OM, Nothing! Mantras that Will Make You Feel Better, Fast
Listen,
BodyRockers, we're not going to bore you with the same tired old
mantras that you've been chanting for the last decade and have become as
depressingly ineffective as an expired condom. No, the mantras we're
going to share with you today are ones that will actually make you feel
better about your life. They're ones that will actually inspire you to
action — even if the action you need is inaction. While mantras can
certainly be useful for motivating you to log onto Sweatflix
and smash out your workout, they can also be incredibly effective to
get you to chill out and take it easy. And we need to do both.
And clarity and purpose are so important in achieving your goals, whatever those goals are. It can be pushing through the last 20 seconds of a tough as hell interval. It can be getting your mind to turn off so you can get a good night's sleep. It can be navigating your way out of a particularly destructive thought pattern that makes you feel inadequate, alone and scared.
Can a mantra really do that? Well, yeah, but you’ve got to give them a chance. So give ‘em a chance. Bookmark this blog and return to these mantras next time you need to remind yourself of who you really are, and what you really want.
Of course, all the mantras in the
world cannot replace good ol’ fashion human interaction. We’re talking
about friends, FitFam. There’s a reason community was was Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: weneed it.Use
these mantras — they do work — but also be sure to reach out to people
you trust for support. These are the people who will buoy you up, no
matter who or what tries to tear you down. Even if thewho is yourself. Especially if the who is yourself. If you want truly inspiring, absolutely unrelenting motivation, then you’re going to want to join our BodyRock Insider’s Group on Facebook. This collection of BodyRockers are dedicated to providing a safe space to talk, learn, and be yourself.
