How To Get Thin Arms-The Psychology Of Long Term Motivation

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Learning and applying how to get thin arms can be quite the challenge even when you are using an effective program. For the most part, diet and exercise are NOT the culprits. It's your ability to stay motivated for extended periods of time that will guarantee success.

Most women, however, are not able to stay on track for the long haul.

After all, most women can start a fitness program, but few can actually finish it. If only motivation could be bottled up and sold in a can. Unfortunately, it resides in a much more complicated and elusive place: your mind.

Therefore, here are some tips to stay motivated in the long haul when learning how to get thin arms:

1. Train your mind every day. The most successful entrepreneurs do it, so why aren't you? Many women decide to read the self-help book or seek advice once they feel bad. But this is like expecting to get in shape by simply working out really hard for one day. Your mind needs consistent motivational exercise to stay on track.

2. Don't depend on superficial techniques. Ever notice how you get all fired up after hearing a great speaker only to notice that days later all the pep is gone? This happens because a motivational speaker doesn't show you how to attack the problem at its core: deconstructing your complex thought processes. And this is necessary if you want to maintain motivation to get thin arms.

3. Log it all. Writing down the self defeating thoughts as they sprout up in your head is one of the best things you can do. You see, trying to sort it all out in your head is like trying to kill a giant swarm of flies all at once. Once written down, you can relax and deconstruct the thoughts at some later point.

4. Do a reality check. Most times, you will greatly overestimate how hard something is. The best way to keep this effect in check, is to log perceived levels of effort and actual levels of effort. Before doing a task write down how hard you think it will be. Then, once completed write down how hard it actually was.

Unfortunately, no matter how well you are at motivating yourself, you will fail. The key here is to get right back up as soon as possible. In other words, speed of resiliency is the name of the game. The most successful women that figure out how to get thin arms have the fastest speeds of resiliency. - 17274
