I've said it before, but it bears keeping in mind:
Never say, 'I'm in a slump', or, 'I have a problem making the eight ball', or anything of the sort.
Instead, say, 'I haven't been playing my best for a few days', or, 'I've missed a few eight balls'. Follow these by, 'I'll start playing better soon', and, 'I will make more eight balls'.
The first language is ownership, and it becomes an identity that you subconsciously live up to (down to?). The second are statements of observation that can give useful information.
Just because that dog followed you home doesn't mean you have to name it. Once you name the dog...you own it.
