We just got new socks for sale in the studio!  We’re calling them our “Mantra Socks”!  Why Mantra Socks?  They have inspirational messages on them:

be strong

be brave

be fearless

One pair says “be grateful”.  When I look down at these socks, and my legs are shaking, I’m always reminded now of all I have to be grateful for!  In barre class and out of it!

let the legs shake

you’re just as strong as you tell yourself you are

strong exhales!

What motivates you?  What’s your favorite mantra?  What do you tell yourself to push through a difficult exercise?  Focus on the positive.  Use it to push through the difficult.  A challenging exercise.  A difficult life experience.  Speak positive things into your life and see how much stronger — inside and out — you’ll be!
