HelpHow do you pick yourself up when you need to?
Remember the good times / successful outings. Also recall legendary Cumbrian fellrunner Billy Bland’s comment that however bad you feel it will pass

Go for a run. Or read a good book. 
I have a word with myself. Or run. The trick is to remember that running makes me feel better when I am in fact feeling a bit meurgh. I don't always remember this.

Never been that good at it to be honest but a run will normally get the "black dog" off my back.

Nothing works better than going for a run. If that's not possible I meditate. 
By the scruff of the neck, followed by a swift kick to the posterior. Failing that, chocolate usually works.

Remind myself that there's a whole world of new experiences out there to enjoy. 
I remind myself of all the people who are injured or paralysed and can’t do what I can do, then I train for them.

Beer, a curry, a good run, a cat on my lap. 
I go for a run of course. 
Get out for a run with friends. 
Go for a run lollllll 
Meditate for few mins, failing that support 
Tell myself the feeling is only temporary. 
I don't as it goes. After the latest blip I have some friends and loved ones that spot the signs and will have a word. This then jolts me back it line.

go for a run 
get some advice from my favorite forums 
I will either eat industrial quantities of liquorice, or take myself off for a walk by the coast (I'm fortunate to live in Guernsey, where we have a plentiful supply of beautiful and dramatic coastline)

I don’t know but I just keep trying like the proverbial bad penny 
Get out on the bike and tell myself that even 1 mile is better than none. 
Go for a run?
Plus think of one thing I've achieved today, or one way I've helped someone rather all the other things I tell myself I should have also done.

I do it because I love it. I don't have to do it; it's a hobby and if it makes me unhappy I can walk away.

Usually I go for a run! 
You just have to force yourself and remember how you feel when you can’t run 
Feeling down is only temporary, push on. 
I go for a run :) I check in with the 700ers - they can always cheer me up.

Go for a run (when fit and able) 
Go out on the trails or on the long straight Fen roads and keep going for a LONG time.

Long term, I just look at my belly and tell myself, "dont be a fat bast8rd".
Short term, I put out my running kit the night before so its all ready and waiting in the morning.

Quality time with my boys to gain a proper sense of perspective and / or a good run in good company.

Go for a run! Or a swim works, too. 
Volunteer at parkrun. Leave the Garmin at home and walk/run/jognsomewhere new

Go out for a run. It always makes me feel better. 
Real ale. 
Remind myself that nothing lasts forever, good or bad. If it's good enjoy it; if it's bad, it will pass.

To be honest, I very rarely need to, having an optimistic outlook. But generally focus on things that I can do something about. If I can't influence something, then why worry about it.

"Nobody cares, work harder" 
Go for a run 
Use other runners who have similar issues as my inspiration or my late brother.
15th Jun 2018
I look around me and remember how lucky I am in life. 
Prosecco 
A good hot bath, a cold glass of white wine, and a book, is always a win. 
Go to the 700 group 
If I need a pick up I go for a walk somewhere quiet with the dog. 
I go and see my husband, and if he's not around I pretend I'm a hairy welshman and that usually works.

Mechanical arms 
Buy some new kit or enter a race. 
That's a tough one to answer. :-( Depends. 
Need to yell at someone? Try "Things you want to say but can't" 
I know it doesn't work for everyone, but I do react to a self talking, "Come on, JFDI"

Just get out of bed put on the Lycra and run 
I either go for a run or head to my local pub and then move on. 
Go for a run and think of those less fortuate than myself. 
Read, listen to loud music, knit and crochet! 
Read someone's blog from an epic ultra race
Or look at my training from when I first started
Or gin and chocolate ;)

Gratitude. 
I go for a walk. 
Listening to good music and remembering that things always seem better the following day. And chocolate...
14th Jun 2018
I don't generally need to, but going for a run helps if I do. 
Cake. Chocolate! *cayke* and *chocolate* Seriously, just try and remember how lucky I am, loving family and friends, general health and well being. Others with far greater obstacles, battling daily, still smiling. I never lose mojo for running. :-)

I remind myself that I am very lucky to be able to walk (I had spina bifida myelomeningocele at birth). I've had a lifetime of opportunity because of that. I also have a job that doesn't make Monday a bad day, and a family that love me.
