Focus on tasks NOT results
For me, I found a simple but highly effective way to keep going is to focus on tasks NOT results. Of course, when you are goal planning you want to keep track of your results so that you can ensure that you are growing. However, you have way more control over your tasks and getting your to do’s completed.

Rather than focusing on the results, focus on checking off all those steps to achieve the results you want. Don’t allow those results (or lack thereof) to affect your mood and motivation. Keep moving forward, keep working on the actions you need to focus on and use your to do lists to manually check things off. This will shift your thinking to focus on the things that you can directly control and keep you motivated even when you feel like giving up.
