I really messed up this time and I'm glad!
Boy, did I mess up over the holidays, last Thanksgiving and Christmas, but you know what? I'm so glad I did, because I needed that wake up call. And all the suffering I caused myself? That's the wake up call I so needed, to get on the ball and start taking better care of myself. I just about ruined myself completely, and I'm glad I learned that lesson, because overindulging was definitely not worth it. I'm going to love myself more than that from now on. It feels much better to do what I need to do and exercise and eat right, than to give in to the flesh. SO much better.
So I hit a bump in the road, so what? 🤭 We need to stop beating ourselves up and love ourselves and be gentle with ourselves. It's not the end of the world, if we mess up once in awhile. Instead of beating myself up, I learned my lesson, big time, and that's the whole point. When we know better, we do better.
I don't know why we do this to ourselves, but we get so down on ourselves when we mess up once in awhile, and that's not the way it should be. We should just accept it for what it is, not make it bigger than it is, and every time we mess up, just go on back the next day to what we were trying to accomplish, and inevitably, we will reach our goal! But punishing ourselves will just make the process even harder, and we should be our own best friend. You wouldn't jump on somebody for messing up, if they were your best friend, so don't do it to yourself. It's important to be your own best friend. I just got back in the boat and I'm starting to paddle forward and not looking back or even feeling bad. It's just something I went through at the time, that I needed to do, and so I did.
It's never too late to start all over again and never beat yourself up for one little mishap. If we hadn't needed to do what we did at the time, we wouldn't have done it. There was a reason for it. I needed to vent/decompress, with all that's going on in my life, and so now that I have that out of my system, I'm able to move on and I'm real excited about it. I'm determined to do better in all areas of my life and I'm definitely ready now to move forward. Yep! I'll slip along the way, I'm sure, because the flesh wants to make me mess up, but I'll just get right back in the boat and start paddling again. Because life is not in control of me. I am in control of me. I call the shots. If I can start all over again at my age, I'm sure you can, too. It's not what happens to us... it's what we do with what we have left, that counts. It's about progress, not perfection.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. - Ralph Waldo emerson. This quote emphasizes the importance of inner strength and character, over past experiences and future uncertainties. Our true potential and value come from within, rather than from external circumstances.
Our inner strength, resilience, and character are what truly define us and drive our success. Focusing on what we can control, like our thoughts, attitudes, and actions, can be incredibly empowering.
You can do this! ♥😀
