Can You Tone Your Arms With Your Mind Or Is Mental Training Useless?

It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get arm tone and as a result

, flabby arms were the thorn in my side for a very long time. I was extremely frustrated and resorted to hiding behind kimono-style tops all the time.

The most frustrating part of the whole arm tone process was ever-changing levels of motivation. No matter how hard I tried, I could not maintain a high level of focus and desire for extended periods of time.

At times I would feel so unmotivated that I would simply ditch the whole effort all together. And my consolation was an endless consumption of cookies.

But I had a wake-up call and came to the conclusion that this type of mental lifestyle was not going to get me the sexy arms I so desperately wanted.

So I began doing lots of research. And I'm happy to say that the research was well worth it because I found the answer to my problem: the one and only David Burns M.D. He created a system for optimizing thought processes. Said system required the avoidance of thought distortions.

So without further ado, here are three distortions you should avoid so that your arm tone motivation never fades:

1. All/Nothing distortions. These distortions provide the foundation for perfectionism. If you find yourself having to have the perfect day of dieting or not dieting at all, then you suffer from this distortion. Don't try to get everything right every single time. Don't worry about small hiccups and always keep moving forward.

2. Overgeneralization distortions. With this one you become a psychic because you believe that something that has happened to you in the past will keep on happening in the future. Just because you haven't been able to get toned arms in the past does not mean that you will keep on failing in the future.

3. Mental-filters distortions. This one his horrible because it forces you to focus on the negative instead of the positive. If you have a solid day of healthy eating, but slightly veer off and have a small amount of junk food you only focus on the junk food. But what about all the other healthy food you ate? Always give yourself credit for the positive.

If you do not avoid the above cognitive distortions, arm tone will keep on eluding you. You have to achieve constant and lasting motivation in order to stick with an arm toning program.

More importantly, however, is to develop the habit of rapid action. After all, this information will be useless unless you act on it quickly.
