OK….WELL….Guess what??? It’s NOT Week 13!! It’s week 16!! And therefore even my rudimentary math skills tell me that I’m 3 blogs behind!!
So…. do I beat myself up for slipping behind? Do I sulk and slink away from the program because I am not doing this program perfectly?
Ummmm…..NO!! So, I pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again, as they say. Thus, I’m writing three blogs right now to get caught up.
At least in my life, seeking perfection is a thinly disguised excuse for all sorts of distractions. I am grateful that I can see the error of that thinking and replace it by saying ” STOP” or “HOLD ON” and substituting another thought that serves me to proceed.
So, for all you out there who have gotten thrown off course with all the holiday celebrations and angst, I encourage you to start again. Remember, “NOW” is the only moment there is.
DO IT NOW!!!
Do it now, but do one thing at a time!!
Congrats Mary! One step at a time!
I agree with Jen, Mary, what a great attitude you’re demonstrating. Your persistence is self-evident, as you promise to catch up with your blogging! 🙂
Brilliant blog MJ!! And that’s applying the knowledge you have been acquiring from your MKE experience and engaging in the mental exercises. Congrats on being the Objective Observer of yourself and then choosing the next constructive thoughts versus a destructive thought like beating yourself up.
You summarized it so well:
“I am grateful that I can see the error of that thinking and replace it by saying ” STOP” or “HOLD ON” and substituting another thought that serves me to proceed.” Time to celebrate MJ. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights with our MKE community.
