What to tell yourself when you feel like giving up:

Have you tried to start a new habit or pattern of thought, and you're having a hard time sticking to it? We've known for awhile that it's a good strategy to focus on one day at a time rather than forever.

This is what Henrik Edberg recommends in his nice blog post. In it, he offers a "script," prewritten words you can use to encourage yourself to stick to that new behavior until 30 days are up and it is ingrained.

"Just for today I will. . . ."


Try it and see if it helps!
