Imagine yourself after you’ve done the thing you want to start doing. (e.g. any goal you have, your laundry being folded, the acceptance email for a job you’d want, something you own that’s broken working again, etc)

Then, ask yourself if your current mindset is getting you to that point. If it’s not, then tell that voice to fuck off because you want what you envisioned and if it won’t help you get there, it’s not worth listening to.

To be clear, I struggle with this a lot, and this strategy doesn’t help a lot of the time, but nobody’s perfect, and a coping strategy is a coping strategy even if it doesn’t work every time. Nobody here giving advice has a silver bullet, and most probably don’t always even live by their own words all the time, so also make sure not to fall into the trap of assuming everyone else here is succeeding at it and you’re the only one failing if a given strategy doesn’t work for you :)
