I practice positive self talk daily & destroy any negative energy

Nobody defeats the washing-up. It comes back the same evening, and the fact that it comes back is not evidence that last night's effort failed. Maintenance is a category of work with no final victory available in it, and it's most of what keeps a life running.

The daily part matters more here than the intensity. Ninety seconds every morning beats an hour once a fortnight, in the way that a house with someone living in it stays warmer than a house heated in bursts.
