It is very important to have your goals written or typed up and with you at all times, so you can refer to them during challenging moments. I have an index card of my goals/actions in my purse, my gym bag and my car glove box.
A focus board (also referred to as a vision board) is a collage of photos and words that inspire me to stay with my plan of action and not quit. I have pictures of delicious fruits and veggies, a photo of me looking happy and healthy, a photo of lean, sculpted arms, and more. Whatever you find motivating, put it on the board! I use the board five to ten minutes a day while playing inspiring music. Sound corny? Maybe, but it has been a very powerful tool for me in staying on my path and reaching my goals.
