Most women do not succeed in their arm toning mission because of dips in motivation. Not because they aren’t exercising or eating right. Thus, every woman should focus on creating a motivational stronghold first and foremost.
And our society aggravates this problem because it focuses so much on supplements and one-trick wonders. We are obsessed with synthetic foods that are going to alleviate all our problems. We should be obsessed, however, with ways to increase our mental stamina.
After all, any woman will get some type of result even from a mediocre program as long as she sticks with it. Learning the psychological game can be tough, however. Thus, today I am going to reveal 5 mood foods you can take for an immediate boost in motivation (no thinking required):
1. Lung ching green tea. Also known as dragon well green tea, this stuff is amazing. And it’s far superior to bagged green tea. You will get an immediate and strong surge in mental focus after having a hefty portion of loose leaf.
2. Non-alkalized cocoa powder. Most women like chocolate, thus most women will become addicted to cocoa powder. No joke. Imagine the effect you get from chocolate and increase it by an order of magnitude. This stuff will give you an immediate surge of relaxed, feel good feelings.
3. Ceylon cinnamon. Also known as true cinnamon, it’s far superior to the cinnamon you are used to consuming. Ceylon can be identified by its cigar look since its rolls are not hollow. Combining a stick of Ceylon with loose leaf green tea will pack a powerful punch. It will also increase insulin sensitivity which translates into more energy going to your brain.
4. Organic yerba mate. You have to be careful with this one because it’s very potent. But safe nonetheless. Another loose leaf tea, yerba mate has the potential to keep you alert and happy for up to 8 hours. Let me repeat that, yerba mate can give you a mental boost for up to 8 hours. But you have to start with low doses and asses tolerance.
5. Water! I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but bear with me. Women are more dehydrated than ever because of caffeine. You see, our bodies build up a tolerance to its stimulatory effects, but don’t build up a tolerance to its diuretic effects. So every time you increase the size of that latte or have another cup of extra dark to get that same energy jolt back, you are dehydrating yourself more and more. And dehydration causes massive mental fogginess which will leave you very cranky.
We live in a society of starters, not in a society of finishers. Every single little thing you can do to increase motivation and enhance mood, will increase your probabilities of arm toning success. The nice thing about these mood foods is that you can ingest them and get an automatic boost. This is a lot easier than reading a self-help book!
