Want to get a 6 pack now? Focus on your goals
Have you ever heard the words I want to get a 6 pack now but I don't think I can? Have you ever said these words to yourself? Don't worry you're not alone. Many get up the nerve to join a gym or go back to the one that they've had a membership to. Some learn how to eat properly, plan their meals, and actually eat the perfect diet to achieve their 6 pack abs. But most of them will find themselves looking back on past weeks wondering how they came up short and why they couldn't stick to the plan they were initially so invested in. The vast majority of dieters never see the 6 pack abs they dream of because they overlook on vital component, their 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.
Write your goals as if you've already accomplished them. If you have a goal of eating 5 meals of lean protein and green vegetables then you shouldn't write your goals this way:
1. I'm going to eat as often as possible and fit lean protein and veggies whenever possible.
2. I won't eat pizza, soda, cookies or cake. This will help me stick to my diet plan of 5 balanced meals per day.
3. I plan to eat 5 balanced meals per day. Whenever i go out with friends I'll make good decisions on what I eat.
The first goal is far to vague and the words whenever possible are not definite. The second goal wont work because according to Tom, your brain cant process deletion or words like wont or avoid and will simply interpret goal #2 as I eat pizza, Mexican food Finally, goal #3 may not be that effective because its set in the future. Tom says goals need to be set in the present or even as if they've already been accomplished.
Here's how Tom Venuto would have us write our goal: I look fit and lean and feel great about how my wash board abs look. I have achieved 10% body fat by eating 5 meals per day consisting of a lean protein and dark green vegetables. I eat chicken, fish, and egg whites as well as broccoli and spinach.
The above goal will be effective in reprogramming your brain because its written as if the goal has already been accomplished, is specific, and has emotion. Describe how good you'll look once you've achieved the body of your dreams and be specific about what you'll eat and when. If you keep your goals on a 3 x 5 card that you look at frequently throughout the day you'll keep your goals at the forefront of your mind and keep yourself motivated to make good dietary and fitness choices. So if you want to get a 6 pack now, then write down your goals! - 17269
