[CyberTOPS] 20 Ways to Sustain Motivation When You're Struggling step 4

[Leslie]

4.  Squash negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. This is
one of the most important motivation skills, and I suggest you practice it
daily. It's important to start monitoring your thoughts, and to recognize
negative self-talk. Just spend a few days becoming aware of every negative
thought. Then, after a few days, try squashing those negative thoughts like
a bug, and then replacing them with a corresponding positive thought.
Squash, "This is too hard!" and replace it with, "I can do this! If that
wimp Leo can do it, so can I!" It sounds corny, but it works. Really.
