Getting into an ideal state

What’s your strategy for stepping into a desired mental state to perform?
Check this out from Mack
“It is said that extraordinary people live their lives backward. They create a future, and they
live into it. An exercise I teach is called A.C.T. backward. I want you to try it. The A stands for accept your present state. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, as we discussed in the last section. C stands for create your desired state. ... What’s your dream? Close your eyes, and see yourself exactly the way you want to be. Write down what this desired state would look like. T stands for take action steps to get you there. Success is a journey of one step at a time. And the longest journey begins with the first step.”
What about your present state can you accept?
What’s the desired state you want to create?
What action can you take to get there?
