This topic could be pinned already, as almost everything that matters has been said.
But one more important thing: Have Fun
And if you are having a bad day and just not feeling it, don't try to force yourself to race and just stop - it won't help your mood nor your laptimes.
One more thing I just remembered, crashing on the start of a race in Turn 1 can be very demotivating, even more so if you are racing something long like Spa and you got a bend suspension.
Just suck it up, drive to the pits, repair the damage and get on with it. Thats free online practice time in racing conditions right there, also you can improve on being a lapped car and you might still pick up a position or two from people not having the stamina nor the determination to finish a race.
and of course: practice practice practice
