The way I find tackles AA or whatever you wanna call it is this: Every time I have approached, regardless of the outcome I feel great afterward because I know I'm pumped enough by that point to keep approaching all day. And pretty much the entire day after approaching I will be in a great mood. This is as true when I get blown out as it is when I close, so if I feel like shit to begin with I simply charge through all the mental blocks stopping me from approaching and force myself to do it because I know it will get me in a great mood.

Another method that works is having a friend hold something hostage until you approach; when Solomon and I do day game we have to get a bus to the city so he keeps both tickets home until I approach, and if I approach before him I take the tickets. Nobody gets to go home until we have approached, you don't have to use a bus ticket, you can use your cigarettes if you're a smoker, or you can simply use money. whatever the hostage, the method works great and a lot of the time you may even find you will be approaching more even before you get the hostage back.
