What would you tell a friend?

Whatever task that you are struggling with, think of a loved one or a good friend that you have a lot of care for, then imagine it is them who is struggling and keeping that thought in mind, frame a caring note to help the friend complete the task. You can either write it down or stand in front of a mirror and tell it to yourself. 

You can even use an app that lets you send yourself messages to send such notes.
