Look back at what you have achieved. Tutorials and exercises count too! Try to remember how difficult or impossible it seemed before you did it, and how good it felt when you made it work. Remember that a while ago you couldn’t do so many things, or you couldn’t understand them, but through hard work and perseverance, you now know better.

Then, remember why you started in the first place. For someone? For a dream? For a goal? Focus on that, respect that reason, as it was important enough at one point to fuel you. And now shake your head a little bit, shake off some of that stress, and realize that moving on from the bad feelings, and into a productive and positive mindset is the only way to keep going.

Start learning again, and whenever you’re going down, shake your head to remember all those reasons, all those achievements, and come back to a positive state.

Good luck, and never ever give up!
