I think the power phrases or mantra really helps us to exercise our mind and recognize how empowering it is to choose the things you want to think instead of not even noticing how complaining or being negative while you workout really is an extra obstacle to attaining your goal. Get your mind to work for you not against you! It is one of the most powerful influencers of our entire life! What we think about we become. What are you spending your time thinking about while you are working out. Notice and then mindfully choose to keep it or change it. That is really a skilled and conscious exerciser! We need a new input if we want a new out put. enjoy it patricia HI Mary Jo

The mantras are part of it, but it's also your amazing energy that comes through in the way you describe it! I've really started enjoying my workouts more since I started reading your blog and mixing things up using your ideas. It's pretty amazing how you feel when you're doing kicks and punches and power statements -- way better than trudging along on a treadmill!
