So many women focus on finding the perfect arm workout, the perfect supplement or the perfect diet. And many times, said women actually burn out before even getting started because they are trying to find that perfect solution.
Unfortunately, perfection, by definition does not exist. And let’s suppose for a second that the perfect program did in fact exist. Do you have the willpower to stick with it week in and week out, month in and month out?
I suspect, that even with the perfect solution, many women would not have the mental wherewithal to stick with it for the long haul. In reality, this is the rate limiting factor for almost ALL women-long term motivation.
What can you do to succeed here? Well, there are many ways you can optimize your mental framework to ensure arm fat success. In this article, however, I am going to cover 4 quick tips to help you sustain motivation:
1. Visualize the positive of doing, not the negative of not doing. If you constantly flagellate yourself into taking action, be careful, very careful. This type of technique may be effective in the short run, but in the long run it will eat away at your motivation until your reach a tipping point. Instead, visualize all the positives of taking action to get rid of that arm fat. This way you WANT to get moving, and don’t feel like you HAVE to get moving.
2. Use a scientific attitude when you fail. What’s the first thing you do when you mess up? You probably get very emotional. Even worse, some women internalize the situation and put all the blame on themselves. The end result is a sense of low self efficacy and reduced willpower to move forward. If you mess up, analyze the situation, the EXTERNAL factors that led to the malfunction and ever label or blame yourself.
3. Understand that motivation isn’t instantaneous. Nobody has oodles and oodles of motivation on demand. Many times, even the most successful people have to start moving regardless of how they feel in order to get motivated. If you feel like doing nothing one day, and this will happen, simply start going through the motions!
4. Never get angry when being criticized by a naysayer. Always deconstruct the criticism for best results. Most criticisms are based upon inaccurate assumptions. If you tease apart the criticism, and define the fine points of contention, most often than not both parties will notice that there really is no issue.
I’ll be honest here, learning how to maintain motivation takes some practice. And every day will bring something new. But reaching your arm fat goal is possible. Many women have already done what you want to do.
Finally, don’t wait to take action on this information. If you do, you will most likely forget what you have learned.
