Have ever you promise to yourself that you’ll eat healthy everyday, but you just stuffed your face with pizza and sweets? Did you commit to being more careful with your money, but you’ve just wasted some of your money on something useless? Are you trying to become a better spouse, but you weren’t attentive enough to your partner throughout the day?
Don’t you ever guilt trip yourself. You can never change your past. Forgive yourself, ask for forgiveness if necessary, and move on with Life. We are all human and discipline is a weak muscle that sometimes doesn’t hold up under pressure. If you have a daily goal and you miss it some days, don’t think over and over again. Always focus on tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new beginning. Every day when you wake up, you have a new chance to prove yourself, follow your goals and invest into yourself to enjoy the compounding effects of yield in the future, be aware that tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity. Also is the day after tomorrow. Every day, you start at zero and you build up from there. Your every next decision is an opportunity to practice self-discipline and correct your mistakes. If you were wasteful with money, save money on your next purchase. If you’ve just figured out you weren’t attentive enough to your partner, pick up your phone and send a loving message or kiss your spouse or whatever.
Trust me, everybody make mistakes even when committed to your goals. You can’t be 100 % disciplined all the time or 100% perfect. The more disciplined you are, the more guilt you’ll probably feel. But that’s wrong. But when your discipline muscle gives out, don’t hinder yourself additionally with guilt, blame and overthinking. Forgive yourself, forget it, move on and fix it with your next decision or start from scratch the next day when you wake up.
Every day is a new beginning, every day is always a new opportunity for you to start following your life vision. Just don’t make things harder than they already are.
