In 2012 we will be fueled by our personal MANTRAS!

At our final CrossFit Central Friday staff meeting of 2011, with the Holiday Season and New Years Resolutions upon us, Co-Founders Jeremy Thiel and Carey Kepler asked the team to take the 2 week Holiday break to define their mantra.

The mantra had to be personal. It had to be something that within a short phrase (2-5 words) could snap you back into focus. The mantra could serve as a motivator, as a reminder of who you want to be, what you want to achieve this year or your goals, dreams and purpose.

What’s a Mantra?
A mantra is a single phrase that defines your purpose. In Sanskrit, mantra literally means “instrument of thought”. The phrase should be short and made up of 1-5 words that are meaningful to you. It doesn’t matter if it makes sense to anyone else – this is YOUR mantra.

From Guy Kawasaki  “Mantras must be short and sweet and might not even be written down and if they need to be enforced, you’ve probably got the wrong mantra.”

Next Level: After you define your personal mantra for 2012, choose a song, a video and a book that also serve as your theme for 2012! Example: The theme song to Rocky, the “Powerful Beyond Measure” video, and Great By Choice -> whatever you choose these pieces to your 2012 mantra should snap you into focus. If you turn on the Rocky theme song it should serve as your reminder, and get your PSYCHED!!
