I use "think", "I think" and "I don't think" in my writing a lot. Can you suggest a few ways to reduce it and few alternative ways of saying the same thing?

Look at the below sentences I have written. These are just few examples, I use them a lot. Average two or three "think" in one page.

> 1. Why do you think about that? 
> 2. I think you can do it. 
> 3. But I think you got to take some rest. 
> 4. Do you think you can break that? 
> 5. I don't think so.
