There are times in life when you must to something you do not enjoy doing to accomplish you goals, such as pushups or repeatedly practicing patterns. Do not let them stop you; simply accept them as the price you pay for success. Reframing means you view unpleasant things, not as a something to avoid, but as steps toward your goals.

Making Mountains Out of Molehills

Do not turn every minor inconvenience into a major calamity. Do not turn every setback into a disaster. Instead, look at the progress you are making toward your goal. An ankle injury that interferes with training is an inconvenience but not a disaster. You can use the healing time to increase you upper body strength. Dwelling on minor inconveniences can lead to anger, depression, and kill enthusiasm and motivation.

When frustration arises, push aside unproductive, negative thoughts and ask yourself where the problem lies. Analyze the problem and different possible solutions, then close the best solution and move one. If you cannot get your jump-spin side kick to work against boards and frustration build, stop and analyze your technique, make changes, and try again. It may take many analyzes and changes before success, so do not let frustration creep in. If too many difficulties, frustrations, and failures arise, you may need to rethink your approach.

Integrity is living according to principle. Maintain your integrity and live according to these principles and you cannot lose.
