Hey guys, some of you may just be getting into the whole hiking thing and may not know that mental state is probably one of the most important factors in walking really far. Psychologists and Hiking Experts both agree that the best way to keep moving is to repeat powerful motivational mantras to yourself; you can also repeat them out loud if you're part of a group. So please post your hiking mantras, here are a few to get started: Don't Give Up.  Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.  I will not stop till I reach the top.  Let's do this. (climb mountain)  One more step.. I lied, take another.  I'm going to lie down now, SIKE, no I won't haha  Don't fall over and piss yourself idiot.

Wild animals are good friends for some things, but they don't care about your pictures or find your posts interesting. ...I mean neither do we but you get the idea. (I hope this wasn't too "below the belt," hiking friend)

Sometimes when hiking or biking a very steep hill, i will just yell out "gently caress YOU NATURE!!!!" as loud as I can to take my mind off the pain. On occasion somebody will be turning a corner or cresting over the hill when i yell it and its hilarious to see their faces.

Its not exactly a mantra, but when I think about going out, I mostly compare it to what else I could be doing. Three hours is enough time to have an outdoor experience that can change my view of the world for a week. Three hours is also enough time for me to idly start a game of Civilization before realizing that I've just wasted three hours playing a boring game. I just try to remember that the time I spend outdoors is way better than the time I spend indoors, being bored.
