Don't Let A Stumble Be The End Of Your Journey



I'm very hard on myself.  I am sure that many others are, also.  Sometimes, if we make a mistake, have a bad day, or don't make our goals for the day, or the week, we have the tendency to beat ourselves up.  I know that I do!  Sometimes we get the attitude "I've already messed this up, so I might as well just quit."  I admit, it's very discouraging to let yourself down.  It's discouraging to feel like you failed at something.  Being discouraged is no reason to quit!  We have to accept the fact that we haven't failed.  We are not failures.  We have only had a setback, a stumble.
 
However small, or large these setbacks may be, we are strong, and we are capable of bouncing back!  We are all going to have bad days, and those days may even turn into a week, or longer.  Those bad days are only stumbles in the road.  Think of how bad you will feel if you do just throw in the towel and give up.  Think about how good it will feel to pick yourself up, shake it off, and just keep moving forward.  The past is the past.  There is nothing we can do to change that.  We do have the power to determine how the present and the future will be.  We all have the strength to keep going, even when it's not an easy thing to do.  If you do decide to quit, you are only destined to begin the journey again, at a later date.  If you don't quit, think of how proud of yourself you will be, when you get to that finish line, and reach your goal!
 
Never let a stumble in the road be the end of your journey!

Decisions! Decisions!

 Every day, all of us have to make decisions - what to wear, where to go, what to do, what to eat, and probably many more decisions.  More often than not, I struggle with decisions.  Some days I go through 2-3 outfits before I make a decision.  I'm often involved in the conversation of "Where do you want to go?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I am an "over-thinker," and sometimes, I think that makes it even more difficult to make the decision.  There are times that I wish someone else would just make decisions for me! I just got back from vacation, and I had a very difficult time making decisions - food decisions.  A few years ago, my boyfriend and I went on vacation, and we were both on diets.  We went to this famous restaurant, and didn't want to cheat, so we didn't eat anything that we "shouldn't" eat.  That was over four years ago, and we still talk about how we will never do that again.  It bothere...

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to ce...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
