Mindset is one of the most important things in the pursuit of any bodybuilding or fitness goal. You're going to get frustrated at times, and if you don't have the mental "oomph" to keep your mind straight, thinking positive, and be focused, you're going to do things that you don't want to do - missing workouts, not putting enough effort in, or letting your diet slip. If you can keep yourself focused and disciplined, you'll perform better at your workouts, and build muscle at a much faster rate. How To Think Positive To start off with you need to get motivated, take a few minutes to think about what you want to achieve and why, write it all down so you commit yourself. What is your motivation? If you want to compete that's great, write it down. Many people don't want to compete or become professional bodybuilders, if so that's great too, it might be that you just want to slim down and bulk up, whatever it is, just write down your personal goals. Goals should be made in the long and short terms. Every week you should monitor your training, and adjust your goals based on your progress and where you are in relation to achieving those goals. The "SMART" method of goals is a good plan to follow: -Specific -Measurable -Achievable -Realistic -Time-sensitive Keep to this basic goal-setting formula, and you'll be on the path to success. Stay Positive Whatever you do, don't get frustrated, bodybuilding is one of the toughest activities you can do and it can become annoying when you don't see results immediately. The fact is, it takes time to build your perfect body, and it doesn't happen over night. And depending on your body type, fitness levels and eating habits prior to starting training your results will be faster or slower to achieve, so you have to set your goals appropriately. If you follow a proven training plan, do the proper exercises and stick to a healthy diet and lifestyle, you will noticeably lose wegiht and build muscle within 3 weeks. If you are a real beginner you should speak to a personal trainer or do some research and find an appropriate plan to follow. They will be able to show you proper form and also give you tips to help you hit your goals. Once you start to see results you won't look back, so don't get discouraged early on. Finally stay dedicated and if you find that bodybuilding is not for, look for something that you enjoy for example I also enjoy martial arts and hill running, you may find that swimming is better for you. To stay dedicated, find a training partner and work with them to stay on track and motivated, having a training partner makes a big difference. You can compete with each other and really push yourselves, and you'll be much less likely to skip a session. In conclusion you should enjoy your training, it maybe hard and sometimes you might feel like giving up, but if you keep your goals in sight and stay dedicated you'll see improvements. And once you start to see your muscles bulging and your six-pack appearing, it will inspire you to work harder. Stick to your training program and go for your goals and you'll have the body of your dreams in no time.
