Honestly? Nothing is springing to mind. Nothing that I can cling on to anyway. Like, I feel okay if I win a bout at fencing, but then I know that it is due to luck rather than any skill on my part. And then the next bout I'll lose and any positive feeling is lost. That sounds so pathetic, but it's true.
I'll get myself a notebook when I'm next in town and try to note down the positive things. Worth a try.
