Clean It Up & Go!

As I’m laying in bed I’m reflecting on the week prior…

I realize that I tend to look at what has gone wrong too much instead of focusing on what went right. I was thinking this was a good thing because it helps me improve…BUT…it actually does the opposite.

I’m learning how to flip the script. You have heard the saying don’t cry over spilled milk. I am understanding that I was doing just that by focusing on what went wrong.

I didn’t work out as I should have. How does my reflection on not working out change the fact that I didn’t work out? Exactly…it doesn’t change anything. However, if I make the decision to DO IT and then follow through with actually doing it, my reflection was actually worth it.

What I’m getting at is unless we are actually making changes to do better than what we have been, looking at our yesterdays and last weeks are worthless and empty.

I know that focusing on what’s ahead has more chances of motivating me than the letdowns of before. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes seeing where you messed up does motivate you, but in my case, I see it has a tendency to put me in a slump if I focus on it too long.

My biggest challenges right now are saving money and working out. I’m gauging this progress in multiple ways but I’m climbing out of this slump presently from not making the right decisions. This week I’ll be cleaning up that spilled milk and moving forward!

What areas are you working on cleaning up and can you relate to this?
