Then you take that image, and list out the characteristics of that image, ie. OR… Some of you might actually already have a superhero in mind whether it be Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or whether it’s a lion or a fox or a mountain or anything like that.

Someone, some thing, some animal might develop for you that you’ll be able to spot. Once you write down all of the characteristics, step back and take a look at that list. One way is you can just write out all of the characteristics that you would want your superhero, your alter ego, to have. A lot goes into this and this is a really fun exercise to do. The fourth part is defining your actual superhero powers, and then crafting a name. This step dives into how you define what your mission is. You need to have a core mission to be able to drive you forward and ‘power’ what you do and who you are. It’s very important to determine “why” you are even doing this in the first place. The third part is the “Power of a Mission”. The author tells us to create your own story – how you want your story to be written or be told. We should all know by now the power of story is one of the strongest powers we have in the universe. The second thing he says to do is write a story. You can identify them and then you find a way, through your alter ego, to cast those aside so that the best version of you can come through. You are pulling these character traits that you don’t want to show up “out of the shadows”. getting too emotional at certain times where it doesn’t work for you.Some of the characteristics he mentions are: If you’re on the field, you want, you need to play your best game, right? So he talks about defining the enemy and what you don’t want to happen on your field of play. Those feelings or emotions have no place in that game. Back to the example of an NFL player, he talks about fear, doubt, and self-doubt. It’s actually the traits that you don’t like about yourself when you’re on that field of play. The enemy is not a person or a place or an animal or anything like that. The very next thing he does in the book is to define the enemy. You start to think, what do I like about myself, my behaviors, my character traits, etc.? And then … How do I do more of what I like? Step 2: Define Your Enemy

So, when you have that list, naturally the next thing you think about is what you want to do more of. And getting into how you develop your own alter ego, to become the best version of yourself, is in writing a list of what you want to stop doing or do less of. He starts out with what this is all about.

Step 1: Write a List of Things You Want to Stop Doing/Start Doing It’s really fun to read about and he gives you the step-by-step on how you can do this for yourself. He describes not only why this works, but how he developed it, in an easy to understand way so it’s not boring at all. Who do you become on that field of play when you are with your kids. When they step out onto that field on game day, who do they want to become? It’s the same with an actor, a CEO, or for a father who doesn’t get to see their kids often and wants to become the best father imaginable.
