2．Create Your True Vision．
Many times we live based on others'expectations or we stay stuck in a particular place because it's our safety zone．Own your path．It can be hard to do，but allow yourself to get out of your head（or stop listening to what others want for you）and focus on your heart and what it's telling you．（38）G
3．（39）BIf you want to start going to the gym，going from 0 days a week to 5 days a week right away is extreme，and setting yourself up by biting more than you can chew typically doesn't result in success，but failure．Instead，start slow and go once or twice a week．After you do that for a while and get into a nice routine，up it to more days．Over time，you will build toward your goal by taking realistic，smaller steps to get there． 
4．Have the Right Support．
（40）AFind the right support to cheer you on in the process．It could be a friend，a family member，or significant other who you trust．Whoever it may be，having someone on your journey will be just what you need to keep you on track and celebrate with you as you work toward the life you dream of．
