Hey, I'm in a really bad mood so I'll probably say this wrong, but instead of using "kick myself" metaphors, how about thinking in terms of "seducing yourself" and "beguiling yourself" and "charming yourself." I find it works really well when it comes to making music ;)) ... better than the tough love route. Until you won't practice. Then you can kick yourself. In your best "get off my lawn" voice.
