Baby steps

 

Well, my usual thing is that if my day doesn't start out the way I had planned it the night before (getting up early, going for a walk...etc) then I just give up on the rest of my goals for the day. It is just so easy to focus on the negative. 

 

Today I am doing the opposite. I slept in way too late, but I'm not going to let that get in the way of the other things I need to get done today. I also am going to focus my mind on positive things that I have accomplished each day.

 

1. I applied for 10 jobs online this morning!

2. I did my exercises for the day!

3.I cleaned the bathroom! A very dirty bathroom none the less.

4. I stuck to my diet!

5.Gave myself a facial!

 

 

Even writing those down I was tempted to say, 'I exercised, but not enough'  'I applied for jobs, but I know I won't get them', 'I could've done better with my diet'

 

I don't know where this trait came from where I just feel like whatever I do, it is not good enough. I don't think that I have been this way my entire life. Its great that I strive to be perfect at whatever I do, but I cannot keep getting down on myself. I'm trying, I'm working on it everyday, I am a work in progress and that should be enough. I don't know, I guess thats something to think about.

 

So my goal for the rest of the week is to take baby steps each day towards my goals. Because even if I take baby steps, I will still get there!

I feel ya!

I had a little trouble matching the high inspired level as I had yesterday. Waking this morning almost felt like a let down in a way.  I had to work at letting the momentum come back to me-if that makes sense? I think asking my sub conscience to remember everything I learned that day and integrate it before I go to sleep helps.
