How your mindset is stopping you to achieve your fitness goal

Aravind Padmaraju argues that negative self-beliefs, defeatist attitudes, and unproductive habits are what actually stop fitness progress, not lack of willpower. Any calorie deficit works regardless of diet type. His three-step fix: focus on positives, set clear goals, and take consistent action.

Today we are— I'm back again with one more new video. So today we talk about, um, every time, you know, I've been talking about you should have that right mindset. Mindset is everything, and first you set your mind, then you will get your results. I've been keep saying in my previous videos, right? So today I will tell you how you can actually set a right fitness mindset which will actually get you the desired result forever, and how you can make fitness part of your life, and how you can set that right mindset to achieve any kind of a fitness goal you want. So today we're gonna see what are the some of the important factors, uh, you need to look into before even you start a journey or even during your fitness journey. So without further ado, let's get started. So my name is Arvind Padmaraju. I'm a founder of HAFIT, and today we're going to talk about how you can create that fit mindset and what are the aspects in your mindset is actually stopping you to get your desired result. Okay, we'll go one by one and we will check during, in this presentation. So hope you can see the first thing. Okay, so when I talk about a mindset, if you see in your overall life today, wherever you are, it is all because of your previous habits, your previous behaviors, and previous patterns which has happened into your life, and previous actions whatever you took is where exactly right, right now you are. So before even you start your fitness journey. When I say what is the right mindset is, you need to aware what exactly is causing you to get you there where you are currently. Until and unless we don't know the root cause, it is very difficult for you to solve that problem. The solving a problem is not just losing your weight loss and just not just following a certain kind of a diet for a few, few months and then leave it every time. It doesn't work. You need to fundamentally fix the problem. So today we're going to talk about what is that fundamental one main reason which, which you are not able to sustain your fitness journey is your mindset. So let's see what exactly in your mindset are causing this issue. The first thing is your old self-beliefs. What are these old self-beliefs? So you always— I, I want you to actually observe your thought process. From last 2 years, 3 years, and see what are the, what are the things you keep saying to yourself. Okay, you always think that I'm fat, and you always say I cannot get fit, and you always say a certain kind of a food make you fat. Maybe a rice make me fat, and drinking that kind of, you know, drinking lemon tea or, you know, honey with the lemon will make you fat. It is all It doesn't happen like that. So you know why you lose weight, right? It is all— it is only because of the energy principle. So all these are your self-beliefs, and you, until and unless you don't correct them, you're not gonna get the result. And another one is you always keep saying losing weight is hard, my genetics is like this, my body is like this, and all of them. Basically what you're doing, every word in a human brain, every thought is a seed. And you repeating that same word again and again, you are nurturing that particular seed. When you nurture that particular seed, what happens? That seed grows. When it grows, it becomes everything difficult because you already programmed your mind such a way that I will never become a fit. I, uh, whatever, whenever I start a fitness journey, it is really hard. Okay, so what you need to do is you need to do opposite of what your opposite thoughts you need to feed in. Okay, and what is another I have thought you always say that, you know, following a diet is hard, I can't sacrifice food and all of that. Basically, you don't need to sacrifice any kind of a food for you to get fit or for you to lose that additional body fat. What you need is the plan which you can follow forever, depends on your existing eating habits. That is the most important. So if you have any kind of a doubts on how you can do it You can actually— I have created a free training which is 22 minutes of training where I have been— I have discovered— I have disclosed 3 secrets which will help you to start your fitness journey in right way. And what are the things you should not do before you start a fitness journey and how you have to do it in a right way, I have explained there. Register there. And also at the end of the training, I also put across a free course free at the end of this training. Once you attend it, I have also given a free one-to-one consultation call where I will come and explain you and understand what is your real problem and how we can solve that problem so that you continue to progress on your fitness journey. So what is the second thing in the mindset is causing you? Your old attitude. Your attitude is everything, okay? So what is in your attitude? So before even you start a journey, first thing you will say that I can't follow this plan, this I can't, is so tough. Okay, I always quit. I always quit. So before even you start journey, you will be— you are thinking about quitting. Oh my God, this diet is— I, I have to stop eating everything, I have to wake up. And you, if you see everything as a problematic, you will only see a problematic. If you see everything is— yeah, it's very easy, it becomes easy. That's all. That's how your mind works. And second thing is, I can't see results even though whatever I do. See, when you If you follow as per the principles, you definitely get a result. There is no way you will not get a result if you follow to the core. If you're following, if you're not getting a result, really there is something wrong with the problem plan you are following. Okay, so don't ever blame the process which you're following. Just see whether it is aligned with your goal or not. That you need to ask before even you start your journey. And the next one is you always say I can't follow it. And you are— you have another attitude that, you know, I want to do weight loss quickly. What do you want to do losing weight quickly? Do you want to make that weight to zero? So I come across people saying that, you know, I want to lose 5 kgs in 5 days and 10 kgs in 1 month. So I always ask them, what, what you want to achieve after, you know, you're losing the 10 kgs? So to gain the 10 kgs, how long it took? It took 2 years to gain the 10 kgs, and you want to lose in that 1 month? So it doesn't happen like that. So what you need to focus is we need to focus on making that habits which, which can, you can stay with, with you forever. So that whatever the weight you achieve, whatever your ideal body fat percentage you achieve, so that you can maintain it forever. Okay, so everything is tough. So before even you're starting a journey, you don't even know whether it is easy or tough. You, you already dictated that it is tough. Okay, and you always blame the situation on others. So there is no one in the world can change your reality or your results. The only person who can get your result is you. The only person create a reality is you. Your brain is actually, is a main driver for you to first get a control of your brain. You can achieve anything in your life. Okay, so don't, don't put, don't give excuses of external circumstances. Everyone has 24 hours. Every person who is transforming, who is in ideal body fat and who gives a priority to health also has 24 hours. So it is all about our priorities and we are not have that right mindset. And the next important thing is your old habits. What are those old habits? Is some of them are this. First thing is you always have a negative mindset, so you don't have the positive outlook about your own health and fitness. And you always bash yourself. You always say a lot of negativity that, you know, I'm fat, I'm not looking good, I have a tummy, and I look ugly. You— we keep criticizing our own self, and we always want others to, you know, say good things about you. So whenever next time, you know, you use that word, write down in a piece of paper and read it to your own self and let me know how you feel. So whatever you're actually saying, they, they're getting programmed in your brain. So you have to be very careful what the words you are actually saying. Second thing is you eat mindlessly. So there is no reason, uh, we kept on— we keep eating for every occasion, we keep eating for every situation comes into my life, our life, whether it is a, whether it is an emotional thing or a happy thing, or whether you are watching some kind of a movies. So you just need to have something munching. So that habit has to change. And you always look for shortcuts. See, when you took so many years to gain that weight and you want to have the shortcuts, it's the same, right? If you have a road which can only go 40 kilometers and you want to go into 200 kilometers, what happens? Soon you're going to meet with accident and there is a chance of you getting hospitalized, right? The same thing, don't go for shortcuts. When your health and fitness, you want it for a lifelong until you die. So in that case, start working on habits which you can sustain forever. And even if you, if you can lose 1 kg a month, in 2 years' time you achieve your goal. So that makes you a strong foundation, and that makes you a strong person that, you know, you have that strong mindset and you can sustain that weight forever. Don't go into this quick fix things. Always the quick things you have, you have to go, you have to see the consequences what you get it because of that quickness. Second thing is, the fourth thing is you don't be— you, you never been active. See, until and unless you, uh, you create that active lifestyle, there is no way you're gonna create the enough energy expenditure. So focus on the things how you can become active, and you follow for a few days and then leave it. See, whenever you start a journey, what is most important is doing a step at a time. See, your fat loss journey is same like a baby. So baby, when he borns, the baby starts running on the day one? No, right? She will take 3 months to sit down, maybe another 3 months to crawl, maybe another 3 months to gently stand, and maybe another 3 months to start walking and running. So give enough time to your body and take in your own pace. There is no hurry for you to get into your ideal state. No one is going to give you— you're not going to make it, you know, give you some kind of award that you just achieved in 10 days, 15 days, or 1 month and 2 months. Give enough time to your body, take it slowly, enjoy the whole journey, and take it slowly. And the next thing is you keep changing the plans. See, any plan which is based on your energy principle, you will get results. Result. So don't keep changing the plan, don't keep changing the coaches, don't keep changing, you know, because of someone has found some new kind of a method. See, the— what is the principle says, if that plan is aligned with your energy principle, you will get a result. There is no way every plan— see, all plans at the end, if they're not actually creating a negative energy balance, you cannot lose weight. Either it could be any kind of a diet, it could be a keto diet, it could be an intermittent fasting, it could be a paleo diet, it could be a low-carb diet, it could be a high-carb diet, any diet which if you are not able to create a calorie deficit, you cannot lose weight. Simple, period. So don't dictate, okay, this is good, that is bad, this is bad, that is bad. Stick with a plan which is actually aligned with your goal, which is aligned with your lifestyle, so that it will give you that enough flexibility for you to, you know, continue forever. And the last thing is no knowledge. So we will not have knowledge. We just depend on our die chart. Once the die chart, you hit a, you know, kind of a stop mark or bumpy, and then you don't know what to do. Instead, just focus on learning little basics. So when you come to my program, I will teach you exactly the blueprint. That blueprint is all you need throughout your life. So these are the some of the habits which are actually making you not to reach to your, your goal. So this is the greatest saying: what you focus is what you get more, or what, what grows more. So I want to ask, I want you to ask yourself, you ask yourself where you are focusing while losing your weight. Are you losing weight? Are you focusing on the challenges you face during the journey, or are you focusing on the solutions how to overcome for those challenges? Are you saying to yourself that you cannot be fit, you cannot, you always fat, you are, you have a lot of busy lifestyle? All of these things you are saying, or you are saying what you want? Your brain is a replica of your thoughts and your emotions, what you create because of that thoughts. And the actions you put. So these are the 3 things will dictate whether you achieve your goal or not. So if you don't, if you don't believe this, I will show you with a small example. I want you to see this logo, FedEx logo. I will give you maybe 20 seconds. Is there anything fishy here? Nothing, right? Are you able to see an arrow in the FedEx logo? No, right? Maybe I'll give you 10 more seconds. No, right? Okay, so can you see there is an E and X, there is arrow? Okay, now what I will do is I'll close and open. Now can you tell me whether— what is the first thing you saw in this FedEx logo? Arrow, right? So what happens is your brain will only focus where your attention goes. For example, if I did not tell you this arrow, even if you see this image for 10 times, you should have never saw that arrow. But because I pointed you for this arrow, now you see every time that arrow only. Even this happens. So recently I wanted to buy a Tesla car. I just went and saw in the showroom. Every single day I see 15 Tesla cars in the Dubai. This maybe you would have experienced it. It's something called a RAS, reticular activation system in your brain. It will only focus where you are, your, your, your very— what you want to see, it will only show that. The same thing with the fitness journey as well. So what exactly you want, you need to focus. And even you can see my logo, can you see a H in it? Maybe you may not be. If you can see this, and in the slant there is a H. Right? And also there is a person with a fat to a fit. Can you see that? You will maybe, you may not be. So you can see here, the yellow is a fat person and he becomes a fit version. See, everything is in front of you. The problem is you are not looking at the right place, or you are not focusing at the right place. In this, see, when, when the things, the things will be same, the way you perceive it, the way you look at it is the only change. The same thing with the fitness as well. You are always saying it is difficult. As long as you don't change that thought, it will be always difficult. Okay, so from today onwards, only focus on what you want. So where to focus? What you have to do exactly to get that right mindset? You need the 3 things. You need to only focus on the positives, you need to focus on your goal, and you need to focus on the daily goals. If you can do these 3 things, there is no way no one in the world can stop you to achieve your goal. Clear? So every time there is a negative thought comes, just pause and observe the thought, replace with the opposite thought which is more positive, right? So every time— so you focus on a goal, the moment you focus on a goal, and you will see all the actions which you need to put to reach to that goal because you are focused on achieving that goal. The next thing is, without actions, nothing is going to happen. You can create a goal and you can have a best plan, you can have a best guidance, you can have a best coach, but if you don't put efforts, if you don't put that day-to-day actions, you're not going to get the result. So these are the very main 3 pillars for you to get the results: positives, looking into a positives, and focusing on a goal, and focusing on the daily actions. How you can do it, and there is another way how you can actually look in only on positives. First thing is writing down a goal. So when you come to my program, I will, I will teach you exactly how you can write a goal, you, you are to reprogram your subconscious mind, which works like magic. Okay, and also there is a, you can use a lot of affirmations about See, these affirmations will replace your old negative self-talk, okay? So you can always say what you want as if you already got it. The moment your, your thought and your feelings are matched, you're going to manifest that, okay? And the last thing is you be surrounded with the thing which you want to achieve. Either be a part of a community where all the fitness enthusiasts are there or maybe listening to a podcast or listening to a YouTube channel. Maybe I'm creating a lot of content towards it. You can listen to our channel, subscribe it, and keep it around it. The more you are around that people, the better you can reach to that goal very easily. Okay, so hope that's all I wanted to share. So until and unless you don't change your mindset, there is no way you're gonna achieve your goal. So just to summarize whatever we discussed so far is we spoke about what are the old habits which are actually stopping you to reach your fitness goal, which you need to change, and what are the old attitude and old habits which you need to erase and create new habits. And then where to focus, where not to focus, and what is the main area to focus when you want to achieve your fitness goal, and how you can actually reprogram your mindset.
