Try to see yourself in the future, being healthy and enjoying your loved ones and your life…doing the things you enjoy the most.

Write down your no. 1 reason (or maybe even your top 5 reasons) for taking this pill and carry it with you in your wallet to remind you why you do it every day.

Encourage yourself. Tell yourself something funny or encouraging to put you in a good mood about taking your pill.

Acknowledge your accomplishment. Tell yourself you did a good job and think about all the ways you are protecting your health.

Reward yourself with something small when you hit a milestone. For example, if you take your pill every day for an entire month, reward yourself with a new pair of comfy socks, or an iced tea from your favorite café. The reward doesn’t have to be big, just something that you can look forward to!

Talk with friends that are going through the same treatment or that have been through it. It is helpful to talk to someone who knows exactly what you are going through.
