Train mental strength

• Learn relaxation techniques (yoga, chi gong, tai chi)

• Focus on positive goals, for example, climbing a mountain "I want to go up there"! Or just hang up a strong poster/picture. Think: faith moves mountains.

• Set positive goals, either write down or paint (my personal tip) - Painting tips and techniques - see also in the article "Discover your creativity". Let the inner child out of you.
