Research shows that bodybuilding affects you psychologically
in ways that can help you to become a success.
Success doesn’t always mean becoming rich and famous.
For some of us it could mean having the cake come out of the
oven done but still moist. Others would be happy if they could
just learn to enjoy the now. Whatever your definition, if
you are a bodybuilder, you have already taken the first step
down the road of success: feeling and looking good.
DO YOU LOOK LIKE A SUCCESS?
What does a successful person look like? That is of course
subject to opinion, but we can probably all agree that a successful
person doesn’t look dumpy! If you want to be a success,
start looking like one. Even if your goal is just to be happy,
how can you be happy if you don’t look and feel good?
It takes energy to be happy. Research indicates that individuals
who are neurotic, anxious, depressed or of low psychic vigor
tend to perform physically at a much lower level than those
who are of better mental health. And building your body will
automatically result in a better mental state.
IT TAKES STRENGTH TO BE A SUCCESS
To be a success requires two kinds of strength: physical and
psychological. Without physical strength, you can’t
begin to have the energy to fight your psychological battles.
Successful people have to deal with lots of criticism:
“How did she ever get that job? She must have slept
with someone.” “I wonder how many people he stepped
on to get to the top.”
You could stop and explain to the jealous ones that you have
worked very hard and have earned your success — but
save your breath! If these people give you credit, they feel
they discredit themselves; to overcome this would require
self-exploration on their part, which is something such people
won’t risk.
Whatever your dream may be, start with a strong foundation:
Build your body and your physical strength. Since your mind
is a part of your body, you’ll be building your psyche
as well. Your motto will be, “I feel good, I look good,
I can do anything!”
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Building your body will take courage, stamina, patience, desire,
confidence, power — all the qualities you need to become
a success. Research indicates that physical ability is indicative
of a stable and extroverted personality
Did you ever notice that some people seem to have it all?
It’s true, they do! Success attracts success. In a study
on muscular strength and mental health, Larry A. Thacker of
New Mexico State University (2003), found that physically
strong individuals were significantly more satisfied with
their bodyparts and processes, less emotionally unstable and
anxious, more outgoing, sociable and more confident than their
physically weaker counterparts.
It has also been found that the muscularly strong person tends
to be viewed by others as possessing more favorable skills
and personality traits. He or she receives more positive feedback
from others and from the mirror on the wall. So if you want
to be a success in life, start building your body, for bodybuilding
will point you in the right direction.
