"Think to yourself: THIS, right HERE, right NOW, THIS is the challenge, THIS is the difficult part, THIS is the moment I make a change, not tomorrow - when I reset my counter and start again - but NOW!

I like this. Thank you, and CorneliusMacVestibul. I hope I remember it when relapsing. I will also try to reframe the challenge by thinking the inner turmoil is what it feels like when a new neural pathway is trying to push through grey matter.
Great advice in this thread. Many of us fear the discomfort that will surely follow but we should strive to embrace the pain because that is where the healing starts.
