Do weight loss mantras work?

Your mantra magnet

Firstly, what exactly are mantras? In short, they're sounds, words, or phrases that you repeat to yourself.

Mantras can help train your mind to focus on positive thoughts, and steer you away from destructive, negative self-talk.

Think about mantras as personal magnets.

When you use mantras what you're really doing is working with the Law of Attraction. Have you ever heard the saying about putting out positive vibes into the universe and attracting good things back?

Well, mantras are one way to do it. Losing weight isn't just about eating right and exercising. Much of it also has to do with what's going on in your mind.

No matter what you try and do in life, having a positive mindset is going to bring you that much faster and closer to reaching your goals.

So if you're trying to lose weight, why not start every day with your own personal mantra? Here are a few you can use, or tweak to create your own:

Weight loss mantras

• “Today I create myself”

• “I am more than this physical body”

• “I can. I will. I am”

• “No one can stop me except myself”

• “One step at a time”

• “I will conquer this challenge”
