Can You Lose Arm Flab With Your Thoughts?
 |
For the most part, diet and exercise are not what holds women back from reaching their “lose arm flab” goal. The truth is that diet and exercise are actually the least important aspects of reaching sexy arm stardom!
There is so much free information out there that most women know how to eat and exercise in a relatively healthy way.
So, the top factor that hold women back from reaching their sexy arm goal, is a poor mental strategy.
This fluctuating motivation undermined my progress for a very long time. I used to read a lot of motivational books and listened to a lot of motivational speakers. I found, however, that these sources only provided temporary motivation that would always end up fading.
Luckily, I found some awesome work by David Burns M.D., that provided an extremely effective method for optimizing thought processes and maintaining motivation for the long haul. Central to his method is the identification of “cognitive distortions.”
So without further delay, here are some major things you need to look out for if you want lasting motivation when learning how to lose arm flab:
1. Pressurizing statements. These types of statements are like using a whip to motivate yourself. They may work initially, but over time they will become too painful and your motivation will fade. How do you avoid them? Avoid telling yourself that you “should” exercise or diet. Instead, tell yourself that you WANT to exercise or diet. The slight shift in wording will have a tremendous impact on you.
2. Labeling phrases. Never give yourself a label when messing up. Labels indicate that there is something internally wrong with you which is NOT the case. So don’t call yourself a “loser” or a “slob.” Instead, describe the situational circumstances that led to the hiccup so that you can prevent it from happening again.
3. Minimizing statements. This type of distortion will make you go from warrior to worrier. Why? Because when you minimize, you see your potential as being much much smaller than it actually is. Do you know anyone that seems to have everything going for them but is constantly putting themselves down? This would be a minimizer. The key here is to not assume you don’t have what it takes until you’ve actually tried.
Figuring out the right mental game when trying to lose arm flab can be very hard if you are using standard self help techniques. Avoiding the above distortions will bring you many steps closer to long term motivation.
