But the counting sounds like a step in the right direction!
Another I heard was from Meb Keflezighi (winner of the 2014 Boston Marathon). During the hardest part, he was just repeating to himself: "Boston Strong. Meb Strong." over and over and over.
I tried that one for myself. Didn't work at all, but I mention it because I think there's a lot of value in trying different approaches and being mindful which are positive or neutral (use those) and which are negative (avoid those).
