Affirm yourself…

…when you try hard.

…when you give 100% focus.

…when you trust the foot, even if it slips.

…when you go for the move without hesitating.

…when you can hear yourself breathing.

…when you use good tactics.

…when you climb well.

Psychologists have known for a long time that positive reinforcement works best. Yet we often berate ourselves for our failure.

Affirm yourself when you catch yourself doing the things you want to do more of. 

Focus on the nine things you did well, instead of the one thing that went wrong.

It feels like magic, but it works.
