VBAC help

Hi! So my first pregnancy ended with a c-section due to “failure to progress” after 26hrs of labor. I reallyyyy want a VBAC this time and my doctors are super supportive but does anyone have any tips? Is there anything i should be doing to prepare myself (mentally/physically)? With my first pregnancy I was pretty “go with the flow, what will be will be” and this time I’m feeling a lot more anxiety because i don’t want a repeat of the labor I had the first time around. Any advice welcome! Thank you!
