subject: 4 Tips For Not Losing Motivation When Losing Arm Fat [print this page] Do you spend a lot of time looking for the best supplement, the best super food or the best workout for losing arm fat? Even worse, do you end up frustrated and unable to take action because of the information overload?
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 would bet money that many women wouldn't be able to because staying motivated for long periods of time (sticking with it) is NOT easy. Especially, if you have no mental game plan in place.
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. Stay objective when you fail. Every time you fail, imagine that you are a scientist in a lab. Never let your emotions tear you apart. Instead of internalizing the hiccup, analyze the EXTERNAL factors that led to the misbehavior. This approach will keep your willpower nice and strong.
3. Understand that action comes before motivation. There will be days when you feel like doing absolutely nothing. Losing that arm fat will seem like an insurmountable goal that's impossible to achieve. On such days, start MOVING regardless. Once you begin going through the motions, the motivation will come back.
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.
Learning how to optimize your thought processes takes time. It doesn't happen overnight, and there will be times when these strategies don't work, but you can never give up. In the worst case scenario, try to minimize the damage and get right back on track to losing that arm fat!
And don't wait to take action here or you will forget what you have learned. So make sure you implement these effective strategies TODAY, not tomorrow!
