Have a Vision

I got this idea from my last coach Cathy Savage - what a wonderful tool!
Put your dreams on a board and put it somewhere you will see it often.  My vision board is right above my desk where I do all my work at home.  It helps to keep me focused on my goals, keeps that fire inside lit.  My goal for the first part of this year is to compete and earn my pro card, so my board is primarily competition related.  You can set your board up however you like, it doesn't even have to be all about fitness and health. 

I've also taken this a step further and made "goal cards".  It is a small index card-sized statement with my goals written out in present tense - as if they've already been accomplished.  I keep one in my car, my wallet, my planner, everywhere!  And I read it often.  There is an ebook by Tom Venuto called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.  Amazing book if you are looking for some motivation.  He has a chapter on goal setting and why it is so important for success and how you can train your sub-conscious mind to help you reach your goals.  Great book.

So,what do you really want?  Write it down!  Put it where you will see it and get to work! And most importantly - believe in yourself!
