Self esteem is lived not strived for. According to the Zen approach, wanting [self-esteem] produces suffering.<br> <br> • The fitness industry tries to make fitness complicated, and it’s not. The Law of Reverse Effect (explained in part 1) validates this fact. "The truth is simple; and simplicity is the truth".<br> <br> • Consumers “honeymoon” on vogue fitness trends, moving from program to program when success eludes them.<br> <br> • In ownership of behavior, "blame" never enters the picture. Remember this: Blame = “Be Lame.”<br> <br> • Success depends on habits. It takes a habit to change a habit. As Scott quotes: "If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”<br> <br> • It's Important to cognitively reframe. Ask yourself, “What would my better self think or do right now?” This begins the process of cognitive reframing. Choose to be your better self.<br> <br> • Turning work into play [makes goals more attainable]. To explain this positive Sawyer Effect, Scott uses the example of Arnold describing the pump as having an orgasm in the documentary “Pumping Iron”.<br> <br> • The achiever’s mind isn’t full of clutter. Giving oneself too many options leads to poor decision-making as a result of its contradictory nature. "A clutter-free mind leads to clutter-free actions and behavior."<br> <br> • Seeds of discouragement can never take root in a grateful heart. Gratefulness lays the groundwork for achievement.<br> <br> • Fear is a terrible motivator when you're afraid to not have a specific goal. The non-goal "goal" of Zen is not having an specific goal. You just make a decision to "do" something.<br> <br> • You don't "get" inspiration; you inject it into the process.<br> <br> • The Busy Woman’s Tighten and Tone at Home program (just released) is a great place to start making a physique transformation, and it's doable in real life situations.<br> <br> <br> -----------------------<br> LINKS & RESOURCES<br> -----------------------<br> <br> Free Bonus Exercises:<br> http://busywoman.fitness/exercises<br> <br> <br> Scott's Fetaured e-Books:<br> <br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/busy-womans-train-at-home-program/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/mindset-of-achievement/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/zen-fitness-tao-health/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/anti-diet-approach/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/abel-approach/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/hardgainer-solution/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/understanding-metabolism/<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/ebooks/beyond-metabolism/<br> <br> <br> Follow Coach Scott Abel:<br> <br> Main Website<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/<br> <br> Facebook<br> https://www.facebook.com/CoachScottAbel/<br> <br> YouTube<br> https://www.youtube.com/user/scottabelcoaching<br> <br> <br> Courses and Programs:<br> <br> The Cycle Diet Program<br> http://thecycle.diet/<br> <br> The Hardgainer Solution Program<br> http://hardgainersolution.com/<br> <br> Great Glutes Circuit Protocol<br> https://scottabelfitness.
