Fastest way to get a six pack: 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.
According to Tom Venuto, the biggest mistake you can make when trying to attain six pack abs is fail to make written goals. Over the course of your lifetime you mind develops habits and a body image that it try's to maintain at all costs. When we go on our quest for six pack abs and change our diet and exercise program our mind and body does everything it can to go back to the way things were. In order to get your mind wrapped around the idea that you're looking fit and trim instead of fat is to make those new fitness behaviors into habits. Tom says the only way to do that is to create written goals and look at them frequently throughout the day.
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 eat 5 balanced meals per day, I won't eat pizza, Mexican food, soda, or cake.
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 not a definite goal. There is too much room for interpretation and the words "whenever possible" can be interpreted as "never possible" especially if you're a busy person. The second goal is ineffective because our brains can't process what Tom Venuto calls deletion. Our minds will leave out words like "won't" or "avoid". So a sentence like "I will avoid eating Mexican food" will be interpreted by our brain as "I will eat Mexican food".
An effective way to write the above goal: I have achieved the body of my dreams and am proud of attaining a lean 10% body fat and wash board abs. I have achieved this by eating 5 meals per day consisting of a lean protein like fish or chicken and dark green vegetables like broccoli or spinach.
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! - 17268
