When you do an
exercise well, gain muscle or lose fat, you might think of it as an
isolated event and it boost your confidence level: You were strong this time; you had a good day. Seeing
your success this way helps your mood temporarily, but it is not the most
effective response. When you advance toward your goals, see it as
symbolic of a more pervasive improvement. Make it personal: Your
improvement shows your inherent strength of character. Make it
pervasive: It will be followed by improvement in all areas of your
physique or workout. Make it permanent: Expect the improvement to
continue in the future.
Seeing improvements as
reflections of your character, rather than as the result of a good day,
will build your self confidence. Interestingly, research suggest this
works even if you are fooling yourself about having improved. It is to
your advantage to seize on all evidence of improvement and take it as a
good reflection on you. By believing that your improvement forms part of
a trend and it is not an isolated incident, you boost your self confidence
and resolve to
continue working and look forward to your next workout more.
