Stay Positive!  Mindset goes a long way!!!  And cheer others on!!  We stay until the last person is finished!!!  Imagine finishing up the last round and everyone else is putting equipment away or packing up?  That cannot feel good!  
Log Your Workouts: the good, the bad, the ugly.  How else will you measure your progress or identify where you may need some extra work?   The next time your workout of the day calls for 1 Rep Max Deadlift and you cannot remember what your current load is, those who take the time to log their workouts, can pull it up on their app or check their log book.  We use an app called Beyond the Whiteboard.  All active members have free access to BTWB.  
Take A Rest Day!!  Believe it or not, this is a hard one for many CrossFitters!!  Your Body needs time to recover!!!  You put yourself at risk of over training.  So take a rest day every 2-3 days OR try an active recovery activity like swimming or bike riding.  
Be Proud Every Step of the Way!  What we do in the gym is NOT easy!  If it were, everyone would be doing it!   So give yourself some credit.  You make it in to the gym!!!  There was once a time when even that was hard.
