I know this is a late reply but I had been listening to The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale after a string of pretty tough moments as of late and I felt inspired to follow something he had talked about on the recording. Then I felt drawn to this thread when I was looking for posts to offer advice on.
Anyway, Earl suggests to write a goal down on a piece of card, paper, whatever and write on the back "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" and then look at it throughout the day thinking positively about it.
I know bible verses can be off-putting depending on what you actually believe in but you can always change it to something that resonates with you.
