You can laugh, but that was very important to me at that time. Never be ashamed of why you want something. Just want it and go after it. Set your goals in stone.

Those little dreams by themselves didn't help me create the body I wanted but those thoughts fed my desire to train as hard as I could and to eat correctly. I knew what I wanted and I was willing to do what it took to achieve those same feelings I would get when I was falling asleep.

In my mind, I knew how good it would feel to achieve my goals and because of my "day dreaming" I was motivated. I could see and actually FEEL what it would be like to achieve my dreams.

Tip Four On Goal Setting: Get Your Tools

Once you have your goals written down, and you are replacing old habits with better habits and dreaming of success there is one more thing you need to do. Set up your tools. Make sure you know exactly what you need to do and get the tools to help you succeed.

If you need to eat better to lose fat, one of your tools will be well thought out food shopping lists and perhaps buying a scale. If you feel like you are one of those "skinny fat" people then you will want to know how to add resistance training into your lifestyle so that you have the right "bumps" in the right places.

Perhaps this year you simply want to feel better and have more energy while losing a few pounds. Then you will want to learn proper stretching techniques and how to combine weight training with cardio into your lifestyle without getting worn out by the end of the week.

Doing a little research and finding the tools you need will allow you to know exactly what you should be doing and when you should be doing it so that you don't get held back by confusion and indecision. This way you can apply all your energy to what's important. Making 2008 your best year ever!
