Getting arm tone took me a very long time. Thus, arm fat haunted me for a large portion of my life.

The most frustrating part of the whole arm tone process was ever-changing levels of motivation. No matter how hard I tried, I could not maintain a high level of focus and desire for extended periods of time.

Sometimes the disappointment would be so great that I would jump ship all-together. And a jar of cookies would become my consolation.

Luckily, I had a wakeup call one morning. I realized that this pattern of ups and downs was not sustainable.

So I searched high and low for a method that would allow me to stay motivated indefinitely. And I’m happy to say that I found said method. It was created by David Burns M.D. and in my opinion is the best thought modification system out there. Central to his method is the elimination of cognitive (thought) distortions.

So without further ado, here are three distortions you should avoid so that your arm tone motivation never fades:

1. Perfectionism distortions. If you see things as black or white then you have this distortion. For example, if you have to have a perfect workout or no workout at all then you suffer from perfectionism. Don’t sweat the small stuff and always keep moving forward despite minute setbacks. In other words, focus on general patterns of improvement.

2. Overgeneralization distortions. With this one you become a psychic because you believe that something that has happened to you in the past will keep on happening in the future. Just because you haven’t been able to get toned arms in the past does not mean that you will keep on failing in the future.

3. Mental-filters distortions. This one his horrible because it forces you to focus on the negative instead of the positive. If you have a solid day of healthy eating, but slightly veer off and have a small amount of junk food you only focus on the junk food. But what about all the other healthy food you ate? Always give yourself credit for the positive.

Avoiding the above distortions will seriously help you achieve lasting motivation when trying to get arm tone. And lasting motivation is the key to sexy arm stardom.

One more thing, it’s very important that you act on this advice sooner rather than later. You see, taking action quickly is the fastest way to get great results.
