Today is Monday and I normally share an idea or a tip for getting healthy here on Get Motivated Mondays. Instead, I think, I’ll share what not to do….because I keep messing up. Do you ever have those weeks? You just don’t want to do it. Yes, I had one, too!
So here goes: My life, in raw honesty.
- Don’t skip your exercise videos or classes every day this week!
- Don’t drink too much Dr. Pepper
- Don’t forget to eat your vegetables
- Don’t stay up too late
- Don’t eat too much sugar
- Don’t forget to drink enough water
- Don’t plan to do better tomorrow, (just do it today!)
Even in light of all of my failures this past week, it’s not too late to start fresh. Because, failure is not falling down, it’s refusing to get back up!
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9
What encourages you when you feel like you’re a failure?
Diane says
There are some new habits and routines I'm trying to make . . . and like you, I'm trying to not be too discouraged when these just don't happen. But if I keep sight of the goal, and maybe even lower it a little so it's easier to get to, I know it will be worth the efforts to try-fail, try-fail, try . . . until eventually there is success!

Yep I have those days and sometimes weeks. I had a fail attempt at lollipops this weekend and wanted to just cry!!! Instead I just tried again. So my encouragement for feeling like failure is try again until you get it right! Tomorrow is another day. I hope this week goes better for you!

Thanks Christina. So far, so good! 🙂

The last one is my favorite. We're all going to falter at some point but if we can get up and get right back at it, instead of allowing ourselves to continue bad choices, we'll be so much better off.

Very true Sarah!
