4 Tips For Staying Motivated When Learning How To Get Thin Arms

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.

Unfortunately, this is where most thin-arm hopefuls fall off the wagon.

How many times have you seen someone start a fitness program only to end it weeks later? You see, starting something is very easy, but actually finishing it is much harder. Why? Because motivation cannot be bottled.

So without further ado, here are 4 tips for staying motivated when learning how to get thin arms:

1. Exercise your motivation muscle daily. Some women like to meditate, some like to use affirmations, and some like to write down their positive thoughts. Regardless of the approach, the key is to have a daily routine of mental strengthening. Just as you should be eating clean and exercising on a regular basis.

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. Write it down. Dealing with motivation-crushing thoughts within the boundaries of your head is like trying to hoard a vicious pack of fruit flies. You have to keep some type of physical log in order to deconstruct and eliminate them.

4. Don't overestimate. Most women overestimate how hard it is to get thin arms. One strategy to counteract this is to keep a before and after log of activities. For instance, write down how hard you think it is to exercise at 100% effort. Once you complete the workout, write down how hard it actually was. More often than not, you'll notice that you overestimate how hard things are.

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. - 29951
