In this chapter we'll talk about the right mindset factor number six, which is don't try to be perfect. Here's the fact you must internalize. You don't need to be the perfect guy or do the perfect workout or the the perfect life to lose weight and get in shape. I believe in the 8020. If you are perfect as of the time you bite, it will forgive you for the 20% of the time that you're not perfect. perfectionism is one of the worst traits to have when it comes to getting in shape.
Then explain how perfectionism can actually hamper your success. You have all these fitness professionals telling people that they must do at least 20 minutes of cardio to give them their workouts. First of all, that's not true. The fact is, you get some benefits even for one minute of aerobics. Yes Is 20 minutes but the one minute, of course, and of course to do 20 minutes whenever you can buy into the mindset that I must do. 20 minutes Then the day that you only have 15 minutes to do cardio, you're more likely to skip it.
I always tell my clients, don't worry about doing the perfect workout or eating the perfect diet. Just focus on doing something and each week try to make that something a little better. perfectionism almost always leads to procrastination. Also, perfectionist, always looking for the perfect time to start the workout or start a diet or start whatever. Do you know when is the best time to start a weight loss program? It was last year.
The second best time is right now. I used to be a perfectionist myself when it came to working out. And let me tell you my story. I used to develop this perfect workouts, you know the thing of 45 minutes to an hour to complete. And I found myself that I could not last more than a month or two at max of working out that always end up burning out there's always something came up. It wasn't until I adapted that attitude that I may actually look them up workout, they'll look at what are the three most important exercises that must do consistently.
So I have to go to those three exercises. And as long as I did those three exercises, I call it a workout. I relaxed about doing all the exercises. Now, I find myself actually doing more than those three exercises. But by having the mindset there's been days that I really didn't feel like working out, I would still do those three, three exercises, it only took me five minutes to do. And then I get much better results than I ever did before because now I'm consistent with my workouts.
Remember, consistency is the key to resolve a while. So by adapting that something is better than nothing. You'll be more consistent with your workouts or whatever else you do and results will come to you much easier. Your homework is to read the PDF report is included in this chapter.
