Now before you get into the next three sections and their amazing chapters/advice, here is a pre-step that I did before my journey that helped me so much.

What that might be? A vision board.

Why it will help you: whenever you're feeling down or unmotivated about doing the steps in the following chapters, your vision board can help motivate and inspire you to continue to do your best and keep you focused on your goals.

How to do it: this is the time to search the web/social media for images that manifest your goals. Maybe it's getting that volleyball overhand serve, scoring that A in chemistry, getting your dream body, or simply having a better morning routine. Whatever it is, find images that represent your goals. and print them out onto an empty notebook or piece of paper. Or you can save them to a Pinterest board so you'll have them on the go.

Here's some examples from my board:

You can make a board similar to this or something that reflects your own goals and dreams. Doing this step is not necessary but I strongly recommend it! And once you (if you) do this step, you have a vision of success you can look back on and motivate you to work for it.
