Call it power of positive thinking, call them affirmations, or mottoes, or whatever you want but there’s no doubt that a positive mantra can boost you up when you need the extra energy. Mantras, or simple chants, hold a subliminal power that when used properly lift your spirit and guide you towards your ultimate goals.
When it comes to energy and fitness, it can be tough to push through the final hours of the day or even the final few minutes of a workout. Finding the energy to keep going needs to come from within yourself.
But how do you find the energy you so desperately need within you?
Consider an energy mantra as your one stop, all day source of energy. Put your desired energy mantra in place and use it when you feel the strain of the day or the strain of the workout zap your energy level.
Discovering Your Energy Mantra
Mantras aren’t long winded verse. Rather, they are short phrases or even one word that symbolizes something of importance to you. Adjectives that can frame and describe your feelings and words that call you to action are best for a mantra. What feelings or strengths are you trying to achieve? Create a list of words or feelings that move you positively or reflect the kind of energy you want to have and put a few selections together to form short mantras that you can conjure up and repeat when you need a boost of energy.
The important thing is to remember to choose words that hold a meaning. For awhile you may want to write your mantras down or even program them into your cell phone so that you don’t forget them. Once you become accustomed to saying your energy mantras you won’t need your reminders anymore!
Psyching yourself up when you’re down can feel like a daunting task but once you have a couple of mantras in place to repeat and practice during those low energy times are the boost needed to move through whatever is weighing you down.
