Hey, hurdlers. Emily Abadi here. You are listening to another hurdle moment from hurdle,

a podcast that talks to everyone from top CEOs to entrepreneurs and athletes about how they got

through tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness. Today for hurdle moment,

I'm talking about how you talk to yourself is super important.

I chatted about this and a hurdle moment a few weeks back on eliminating negative self-talk.

And today, I'm taking it one step further to wrap about the power of mantras.

I guarantee you if you ask anyone you consider successful what theirs is, they can likely ramble off a few. And that's because,

shocker, they work. And so today, I'm going to be serving up five smart strategies for picking your

go-to mantra and talk out how you can make it extra effective for even the toughest of times,

like a first date or a presentation or mile 25.8 of a marathon.

You get the idea.

I posted a special graphic on the hurdle podcast Instagram today to go along with this.

So do me a solid.

Emily at hurdle.us. Let's get to this week's hurdle moment.

A subset of self-talk, a mantra is defined as a single word or short statement repeated frequently to help us with things like focus and motivation. Now, I have a few that I

use regularly in different scenarios. There's the all it takes is all you've got.

You may have noticed that before in my social media bios,

and that's just something I remind myself when I'm chugging along and doing my best.

Another favorite, you didn't come this far to only come this far,
