Arm Toning And Motivation
By Katherine Crawford M.S. Published: 01/29/2010
Achieving arm tone doesn't have to be an uphill battle for you. Unfortunately for me, It was an uphill battle.
You see, my levels of motivation were in a constant flux. No matter what I did, I could not maintain a lasting amount of motivation.
Sometimes the disappointment would be so great that I would jump ship all-together. And a jar of cookies would become my consolation.
One day I had a wake-up call and realized that if I couldn't figure out a way to stick with a program for the long run, I would never be able to get sexy arms. And I also knew that this motivational "yo yoing" wasn't sustainable.
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. Over generalizing distortions. This one is based on the faulty assumption that if something happened to you in the past it will keep on happening again and again in the future. You may tell yourself, for instance, that since you haven't been able to lose weight in the past you will never be able to lose weight in the future and every program out there simply won't work for you.
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.
One more thing, it's very important that you act on this advice sooner rather than later. You see, taking action quickly is the fastest way to get great results. - 28385
