Losing Weight to Gain Muscle (Part 3): 3 Ways to Challenge Yourself

I have been working overtime since the past week and I think because of that I wasn't able to update you with new information here. Actually I'm trying to stick to a routine which will be great if I do, so that I too will be able to benefit with the information. The thing is, when I write any new post here, I get motivated more to go to the gym and workout even harder and so I try my best to write here in order to motivate you and myself. Win win situation, right?

So today's post is about challenging yourself because it helps you reach your goals much faster. Always remember

If someone challenges you to do something, you give your best shot to defeat the challenger. Why? Its deeply dug into our mind that we have to win every challenge, even if technically we are not capable of winning that challenge.

What if that challenger is yourself? How would you give it a shot to defeat yourself? Is it even possible to defeat yourself?

Yes it is possible to defeat yourself, but how will you do that?

These are the ways to do that, but you should not consider these tips as rules and so I recommend you to do whatever you feel like you are best at.

1. BE A LITTLE CHILD:

Yes, that's right. Start being a little child and be persistent about what you want and you'll usually get it. It's just like how a child is, he is so persistent at demanding things from his/her parents that they have to give it. They simply can't ignore that thing.

I want you to be that child. Be persistent and you will get what you want because no one will be able to ignore what you want. To achieve things or goals in this world, you have to demand success and respect or else you won't get what you deserve.

2. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET:

Stop thinking negative things. If you think negative, you do negative and you will surely get results that you don't desire. So make sure you change your mentality because just a little change in mentality can make you a successful person.

I used to think that I will never be able to make money online, but I was persistent and gave it my best shot because I considered it as a challenge from me to myself. I defeated myself and I'm proud of it. How did I achieved that? I just tweaked my mentality (to be a little geeky).

3. NEVER CRITISIZE YOURSELF:

Never do that and never make yourself guilty. It only makes you weaker. Instead of critisizing yourself, you should learn from your mistakes and make sure that you never repeat them again. I know failure is the biggest problem in the world and after failure many people say negative things about our goals.

You just have to ignore them because they will discourage you and take you far away from your goals. Whenever you fail, think of this like you found a way through which your goal cannot be acheived.

Whenever I went to the gym, people used to say that I look more fatter after working out and I should probably stop going. I listened to all their BS advice and never stopped going to the gym, why? Because I thought that maybe I should try to be consistent and see what happens, even if I fail, I will discover a way through which I will not be able to lose weight and gain muscle.

And here I am, giving you advices about losing weight effectively.

You see, you, yourself make things difficult by overthinking the things. You think that you won't be able to achieve your goals.

Let me ask you a question. How many times have you thought that you won't be able to become a billionaire like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg? How many times have you thought that you won't be able to build your muscles like Arnold? How many times have you thought that you won't be able to make money online?

Many times, you can't even count because these thoughts are like stamped on your mind. Whenever you think that you want that new job which is better than the current one and has more salary, you just think that you won't be able to handle that job. But in reality, you are the best person for it.

This used to happen with me when I was a person with many flabs. I just used to admire these bodybuilders and think that they have some unique or secret thing that they follow to acheive that kind of body. But in reality, hard work is the only secret.

How did Mark Zuckerberg became the youngest billionaire ever? He didn't had the mentality like us. He didn't cared about what people said about him. He worked hard and was dedicated to what he was doing, he knew that it will help him in the future. What did he get? He got to drop out of college in the second year and is now a living a billionaire lifestyle which we can only dream of.
