alternate picker ? am i ? |

Any tips on how to get into the good habit 
of alternate picking faster. I've been saying out loud down, up, down, up etc... everytime I change strings for three note per string runs.
I just realised how much of an economy picker I am 
When I do three notes per string runs I go down up down (change strings) down up down all the way up!!!! AHHH!!!! It didn't have anything to do with what pick stroke I started with, it was my economy picking that made me suck at descending runs!!! I'm gonna freak out 
Cuz I guess it's something I've done forever, and now I can't play anything without thinking "I'm economy picking this when I should be alt picking it!" and getting EXTREMELY discouraged by it!
