The Blues have lost top spot in the table after going three Premier League games without a win.
Terry is set to hand Chelsea a boost by returning to action against Everton this weekend after three weeks out with a sciatic nerve problem in his right leg.
Chelsea were top of the table after his last appearance against Fulham but now trail Manchester United by two points and the centre-back has challenged his team-mates to recapture the form they showed at the start of the campaign.
"We have dropped too many points recently," admitted Terry. "Looking back only two or three weeks ago we were so many points clear and in the goal difference as well. Now both gaps have been closed.
"We need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later. I think we have played well the last couple of games and on another day three or four may have gone in.
"At times you need to work hard and push for your luck. It's not going to be given to you in life and sometimes you need to make your own if it's not happening for you.
"We have been a bit unfortunate with a couple of goals we have let in as well. I think overall defensively, midfield and attack, we've not been as good as we should have been. That's because we set our standards so high and started the season so well."
Chelsea will welcome back Michael Essien from suspension for the visit of Everton and Terry is hopeful Frank Lampard will soon be available again after a lengthy lay-off.
"By the looks of things we are getting two or three players back," added Terry.
"Hopefully Michael will return at the weekend as will I. I have trained the last couple of days and Frank is not too far away.
