Want to get a 6 pack now? Focus on your goals
If you want to get 6 pack abs but don't think you can stay committed to a diet or fitness plan, don't worry, you're not alone. You may get to the gym regularly, lift weights, do cardio and yoga. You might even read a book or two about eating often and in all the right ratios. You may have had all the correct elements in place to achieve the body of your dreams but still find yourself, 3 to 6 months later, wondering how you fell off the diet and now weigh more than when you started. The missing element that glues your fitness plan together is written 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.
You must write your goals as if you've already been successful in achieving them. For example, you're goal is to eat a lean protein and green vegetables 5 times per day. The wrong way to write this goal:
1. Whenever possible I"m going to eat some lean protein and maybe some green veggies.
2. In order to stay on my diet plan of 5 meals per day; I wont eat pizza, Mexican food, candy, soda, or cookies.
3. I want to achieve my goals of eating a lean protein and vegetables 5 meals a day. I will make healthy choices when choosing my meal ingredients.
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 is written with emotion, is specific, and is written as if it's already been accomplished. This is the most effective way to get your brain to accept the new behaviors and change them into habits that you don't have to think about much. If you write these goals down and look at them frequently you will keep your primary goals at the forefront of your mind and have the best chance at avoiding the cravings and urges to eat the wrong foods. So if you want to get six pack abs, write your goals down and look at them frequently. - 17273
