Sticking with this study is like any process of personal change: dieting,
learning algebra, etc. You have to keep practicing these actions until they
become a part of your life. Many of your goals will not be achieved
immediately so you won't see how your effort might pay off for some time.
You can motivate yourself by giving yourself rewards for practicing and
completing the modules. If you’ve been keeping track, look over your mood
diary and thought change diaries: do you see a relationship between days
where you had really negative thoughts and how you felt on those days? Did
changing negative thought patterns make a difference? If so, you have come
a long way toward mastering the basics of this process and beginning to
change your life.
