As your long ones are getting longer, have a list of statements that you can repeat as necessary to yourself. You're going to have discouraging thoughts slipping out from the left brain so we'll work on a way to bypass them and move into the world of the positive.
- I have no pressure on myself.
- I'm going to enjoy this.
- I'll start very slowly.
- The people I'm with (or are thinking about) are great.
- Because I started slowly, I'm finishing strong.
- The satisfaction of doing this is unequaled.
