Be your own witness. Somebody should notice the effort you made today, and you were there for all of it.

Most of your effort has exactly one observer, and that is you. The hard parts of a day are usually invisible: the thing you did not say, the task you finished when nobody would have known, the patience you held on to. If you leave the noticing to other people, nearly all of it goes unrecorded.

End the day by naming one effort you made, not one result you got. It takes a minute and it does not require you to feel good about the rest of the day. Over a few weeks it changes what you believe about your own consistency.
