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.
Well, there is no absolute best program. Absolutes do not exist in our universe. And even if said program did exist, do you have the mental endurance to stick with it no matter what?
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.
So what’s the answer to this problem? Again, there is no best answer here. Mainly because our psychological makeup is so complex. And answering this question within the space of an article is beyond my abilities! Nonetheless, there are some tactics you can use to win the flabby arm war:
1. Always look at the reward of taking action, not the punishment of not taking action. In other words, tell yourself “I want to exercise today so that I can wear my sleeveless dress tomorrow.” Do NOT tell yourself “I must exercise today or I’ll be a slob.” The slight change in wording and visualization will make a huge difference in the long run.
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 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.
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!
