Finished Day 80

I have really slowed down toward the end of the program.  The honeymoon phase is over and I had to take the lessons that I learned with tools and put them to use.  Real life happened and the euphoria that I was experiencing with my changes at the beginning of the program had run out.  I didn't beat up on myself though.  I realized that if I just kept with it, even if I wasn't doing perfect, I would be fine.  I am now aware that I am not perfect and that I am totally okay with that.  In fact, I like who I am.  The checklist is clutch though.  I have to say that my worst days were the ones in which I didn't follow the checklist.

It was almost as if my mind didn't want to make the change and it was trying to drag me back to the comfort zone of the old me.  I don't want to go back there.  I wasn't a bad dude, but I started this program for a reason.  I realize how unhappy and misguided I was.  I still don't have a crystal clear path of where I am going, but I have a better way of handling the road ahead.

I hope that this post helps some of you who think that you have to be perfect with the checklists and stuff to  succeed with this.  The truth is you have to be truthful to yourself and realize that the effort that you put in is the equivalent reward.  As long as you are focused you will move past the bad days and get back to the good ones.

Really tired now, but had to post.  Until nextime.
