 What's up guys, in this video today I'm going to be talking about celebrating the small victories. And this is especially made for people that just joined the gym this year that are willing to change their body and get into shape. This video is about you guys and it's going to be the right mindsets to ensure that you do have success in the gym and in life. Well, this channel that I do here, a lot of people know me for talking about psychology and success mindsets. Well, self-actualization which is what I talk about is mind, body and spirit. So we'll be diving into the body for I think the first time and let's get into it. You see, when I started lifting gym about four years ago, when I started hitting the gym, unlike most people I had the same amount of consistency with it. I was just consistent. I didn't know what the hell I was doing, but I just went all the time. Because I had a goal in mind, I wanted to get swole, right? I was a really skinny kid, low self-esteem and all that. That comes from being skinny and what else. I wanted to change it and I decided I was going to hit the gym hard. So I just stayed with him, went and rocked with it despite not knowing shit. Now, I see a lot of people, they get all the details, they get all the information, all the research, they get this information paralysis where they're just researching but they never really get into it. They're not willing to put in the action. So that's the first pitfall. Do not get caught up in being perfect when you're starting out at the gym. Just get in there and do some stuff. You will learn things on the way. It's just like anything in life. You can't expect to be the best at it the first time you get into it. So you just need to hammer it out, make sure you go there. That's make sure the consistency is the big thing you're focusing on and it's going to be a lot easier for you. You figure out the rest, don't worry about it. So that's the first thing. Be consistent and don't worry about information overload. The second thing I want to talk about is you need to learn to celebrate the small victories. The society we brought up in praises, instant gratification. It glamorizes instant gratification. This is where consumerism comes from. It stems from instant gratification. People want things quick. They want the quick results. If you look up on YouTube, the most popular fitness channel is six pack shortcuts. I want to tell you right now there is no fucking shortcuts or six pack. So forget about it. But people want shortcuts. And this is the sad reality but it's the truth. There are no shortcuts. On earth, things fall down, they don't fall up. Water and electricity take the part of least resistance. Things don't want to expand a lot of energy but this is necessary if you want success. If you want to change your body, you're going to have to burn the calories, you're going to have to tear down the muscle fibers, you're going to have to do all these things and they require energy. There's no quick fix. Even if you take steroids, you still need to bust your ass in the gym. There's no easy way around it. So the best way to make sure you know caught up with these delusional images of quick results and these grand figures you see on the internet is to celebrate the small victories. If you notice your arms have grown a little bit, be happy about that if it's one centimeter growth or two centimeters. Any little bit counts. Just every small incremental advancement is leading you to your goal. So you should be focusing on that. Focus on the process. Enjoy the small changes. This is where the fun comes from. When you change your body, you're seeing the changes on a daily basis or weekly basis, you should be happy. You should celebrate every small change. Set goals for yourself. Celebrate when you reach those goals. Don't beat down yourself for not looking like these fitness models. Because I'm telling you right now, even these guys don't look like that. A lot of these guys died down for that first trip for one day and after that one day, they bulk up a bit. It's not healthy to be like Dalin and to look like that. So just remember that. Celebrate the small victories and you will be better off for it. So consistency, don't get information overload and celebrate the small victories and you'll be right on your way to success this year. You don't want to be one of these guys that has the New York resolution in two weeks into the year. They're out. No way to be fucking seen. Anyway, those are my two cents. I hope you guys enjoyed that and please make sure you subscribe.
