Journaling and breathing are two of my favorite stress relievers. Deep breathing especially forces you to relax, reflect, and think. Karol Great post Bud.

I feel your pain about the procrastination! You know I think that sometimes we dream so BIG that we forget to take the little steps that make our dreams come true. You know? It happens to me all the time. These tips that you've listed are extremely helpful.

Thanks for the comment :) Very true! @Dave: 100 percent agreed. Changing the way the think is the key to our desires. @Miche: No doubt journaling has helped me realize many insights about myself :) I’m glad you too have found it to be beneficial!

What's that. I've learned that there is not a quick fix for anything (especially weight loss & fitness). You have to focus on slowly changing your habits and thoughts first. You've got some great tips on how to do that. I'm a huge fan or journaling and visualizing, which for me usually becomes literal as an art project. Finding the ability to control your own mind really is the first step toward reaching goals and changing your life. Quick fix? What’s that.

I have this same convo with people on diets. I run into many people who want to be fit like me, but want it yesterday with no work. I tell them they can't focus on dieting until their wedding or graduation. They need to focus on a lifestyle for their entire life.That all starts and ends with changing one's thought process or as you put it, their mind.

One of the best things that I've ever used is a moleskine to record all of the things that I want. Beyond this (and especially with all of the great technology), it's a good thing to create a dream book that you can either keep to yourself or share with others. What's been interesting for me is to record all of these things with the date on which I thought of it, and then to look back over the months and years that pass by. Sometimes you find that you didn't really want something, and when you look back at all that you have accomplished, it is very gratifying. Goals always have to be circular because only through the process of renewal can we be sure to continue to succeed.

I had heard about doing it before, but had never really thought in-depth about it. Nice post. I think that starting a journal would be very beneficial to me.

It's nice to see you have included journaling on your list... there's probably no better tool to truly discover one's thoughts and feelings, and to uncover and overcome fears and self-limiting beliefs, often ones we don't even know we harbor.
