Embrace Your Success

We’ve all had those times when we’re on a roll. We’re eating right, exercising frequently and in general, making all the right choices. Been there? And then one day, maybe not so long after you get started, it happens. You see chocolate. Or your favorite kind of chips. So you indulge, thinking to yourself, I’ve been so good, I deserve this.

Then what happens?  Perhaps you feel guilty and that voice in your head starts berating you.  But then what do you do?  Do you allow the voice to take over and believe that you’ve just scrapped all the good work you’ve done?  Really? 

Or do you allow the voice to say his or her piece and move on?

This could be your pivotal moment. Maybe you recognize you can’t be perfect 100% of the time. Or, think of it a bit differently. So you ate something that wasn’t planned or you missed a workout, BUT you moved on and continued working hard toward your goals. Focus on what you are doing right, not all the things you think you’ve done wrong.  Mr. Webster, we might have a new definition of perfect.
