How To Get The Motivation To Exercise

-

For some reason, exercise is one of those things that everyone wants to do, but many can't find the motivation for. Despite the fantastic health benefits that exist because of exercising, lots of people still can't manage to drag themselves to the gym.

Why is this? Let's explore…

The are four elements that come into play in regards to making yourself go out to exercise:

1.      Desire

2.      Motivation

3.      Decision

4.      Self-Confidence

The urge to exercise always begins with a vague idea (desire) that exercising will improve our lives. For instance, you may think that "if I exercise 3 times a week, I'll be able to lose lots of weight".

If a person can find the right motivation, they will be able to make the decision to go out and exercise. After they exercise over and over, they will develop self-confidence and will want to exercise more and more.

Unfortunately though, many people have a hard time finding the motivation they need to make that decision to exercise, meaning they are always lacking in self-confidence. Thus, they shy away from getting the exercise they need. Every time you say no to a desire and don't follow through on it, your self-confidence levels plummet.

Lack of motivation is usually due to negative beliefs that are ingrained deep in the subconscious mind. People often believe that sticking to an exercise plan is too difficult or is too much trouble.

When you think like this, you completely lose sight of the positive reasons you want to exercise regularly, e.g. to lose weight, build muscle or become healthier. If you constantly have thoughts like "exercising is hard", or "but I don't enjoy exercising…", they will become ingrained in your subconscious. Your subconscious will then prevent you from being motivated to go out and exercise.

Thankfully, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help us to rewire the focus of our subconscious to make us feel motivated to take positive action.

NLP is a form of hypnosis that targets the subconscious mind and helps to reprogram self-limiting negative thought patterns.

One of the first priorities when using NLP is to identify erroneous thought patterns that might be preventing us from having the motivation we need. Through various visualization techniques, it is possible to rewire the subconscious to focus on success rather than limitation.

When your subconscious mind has been rewired, finding motivation to exercise is easy. You will no longer need to force yourself to go to the gym; your subconscious will be urging you do to so, making it hard for you not to.

NLP can provide the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to finding the motivation to exercise. If exercising feels like a chore, then it's unlikely that you'll ever be able to stick to a fitness plan.

If on the other hand, there is something inside giving you self confidence, driving you forward and making you really enjoy exercising, then it will be a piece of cake. Through NLP, we can achieve this kind of motivation.

Here is a recap of how motivation fits into the four key stages:

1.      Desire – A craving to exercise based on perceived benefits

2.      Motivation – Required to turn desires into a decision. Can be achieved by reprogramming your subconscious beliefs via NLP

3.      Decision – Making up one's mind to take action

4.      Self-Confidence – Gained from repeatedly acting on desires. Results in permanent motivation

Can You Gain Muscle & Lost Fat At The Same Time?

-
The dilemma of burning fat and gaining muscle at the same time has always been a question that has debated.

Don't worry it's all easy to understand stuff: Fat Burning Education Look, your body needs energy to run, and it uses a certain number of calories to do so. When you consume fewer calories than what your body needs and uses, the body is forced to get those extra calories from somewhere. So, it gets it from your internal stores i.e. from your stored fat. This is why, if you eat less than what you use, you will burn more fat! BUT, there is a negative, it also burns calories from your carbohydrate and protein stores, which leads to

Whether you are interested in creating cartoon animations for business or if you want to create animations for personal use, this is a great time to get started.

Just take a look at films, such as Toy Story and Jurassic Park; even television shows like Babylon 5, where classic animation has jumped to new animations at warp speed by using one major tool – the computer.
