Stop telling yourself things like im never doing it again, this is gonna be my longest streak, etc. You’re thinking too far ahead and if you fail it just causes a cycle of negative self esteem which is not healthy. It’s about winning today and today only. The more reps you get the more likely you will be to quit for good. Just keep collecting reps day by day. If you failed yesterday, you always got today. Every day is an opportunity.
Bob woke up today with the goal of making the world a better place
Thanks Bob this is a helpful reminder
Good advice
The more your happiness depends on a future goal .i.e hitting your longest streak, getting a certain amount of money, the less happy you will be in the present - which makes it harder for you to achieve things (yes happiness/stress is correlated to ability to achieve flow state and succeed look at the studies). Learn how to be here TODAY and simply focus on being a better version of yourself than you were yesterday.

Slightly disagree on not telling yourself you’re never doing it again. You have to draw that line in the sand and declare your new identity before you have the evidence to believe it. No more “I’m gonna try not to look at it anymore”. Tell yourself “I don’t look at it anymore.” “Try” gives you a subconscious back door
