"I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday. They insist on bringing into today the failures of yesterday, and in so doing, they pollute a potentially wonderful day." - Gary Chapman
The book was referring to relationships, however, for me it also seems fitting for my healthiness journey. I have been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds for the past month. Here are two things that I have come to realize that I need to work on:
* What it means to deserve something - working out or being under my calorie goal doesn't mean that I "deserve" a treat, because really that treat is empty calories and soon to be guilt. I deserve to be healthy and happy, even if that means declining a treat.
* No ruining today with yesterday - just because I screwed up yesterday doesn't mean that I need to dwell on it today (or fall off the path). Adversely, just because I may have had a great day previously, that is no reason to stop fighting today.
Each day of this journey is a choice and I need to give it my best effort!
How are you going to have success today?
That's a quote I need to remember! Today my success will mean getting things done that I have put off.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! Thank you for the great reminder!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post Sara, I agree.
ReplyDeleteI need to remember what the word "deserve" means, too.
