set a goal for yourself, skate for like 2 hours one day and just cruise around, dont really do any tricks, skating regular, youll get used to it.

tell ur self everytime u push mongo "im gonna cut u tonight if you dont push right!"
worked for me. i got that mentallity that mongo was bad and i felt guilty when i did it. never cut myself though, but by all means feel free to try it.

i used to skate regular and push mongo. just write on your board 'regular' or 'goofy' or whatever you prefer to help you stop pushing mongo

When I wanted to stop pushing mongo I just started out by just pushing "normal". Then I cruised and started turning and stuff to get comfortable. Then like a couple days later, after I was sure I could skate well enough that way, I started with tricks.

i started mongo but changed it within and hour. do nothing but push regular for an hour straight. that should get you used to skating regular.
