Want to get a 6 pack now? Focus on your goals
Have you ever seen ads on tv advertising a new way to get a six pack fast? There are literally hundreds of diet, exercise, and fitness programs out that promise to give you your dream body and six pack abs in no time flat. Some of these exercise and diet programs might actually work but they all neglect one vital part of any fitness plan that will deliver desired results over the long haul, goals.
Fitness guru Tom Venuto says that overlooking your goals and mental training is the biggest mistake fitness newbies make. He says that we must train our mind to believe that we can accomplish the body of our dreams. We must rewire our brains to accept the new body image that we desire and get rid of the old body image that keeps us falling off every diet. Tom says creating new fitness habits isn't easy because it has taken our entire lives to program our current habits and body image into our brains and old habits die hard. The most effective way Tom says we can rewire our brains to accept the new habits and body that we are forming is to create goals as if they've already been accomplished, write them down, and look at them frequently.
Create goals as if they've already been accomplished. Lets say you have a goal to eat 5 meals per day with a lean protein and dark green vegetables. Wrong way to write the goal:
1. I'm going to eat as often as possible and fit lean protein and veggies whenever possible.
2. In order to eat 5 balanced meals per day, I won't eat pizza, Mexican food, soda, or cake.
3. In the future I'll eat balanced meals which include a lean protein. When ever I go out to eat I will make healthy meal choices.
Goal #1 falls short because they are not concrete and are vague. Goal #2 definitely won't work because Tom says that your mind can't process deletion or words like "won't" or "avoid". So your mind will interpret "I won't eat pizza" as "I eat pizza." The final goal won't work because anything set in future tense is not as powerful as a goal set in the present or as if it's already been accomplished.
Here's a better way to write the above goal: I have achieved 6 pack abs and an ultra low body fat of 10% by eating 5 meals a day. These meals have consisted of a lean protein such as chicken, fish, or egg whites and dark green vegetables such as broccoli and spinach. I am proud of the way I look and love to show off my 6 pack abs on the beach.
This goal is properly written because it's specific, written with emotion, and written as if you've already been successful in attaining the body of your dreams. This goal will help your brain accept the new dietary and exercise behaviors and soon see them as habits that come naturally. Soon your mind will see you as the lean and fit individual that you're striving to become not the out of shape one that you're leaving behind. So if you want to get a 6 pack and keep them forever, write your goals down and look at them all the time! - 17274
