Are You Constantly Punishing Yourself for Mistakes or Slip-Ups?



It takes an awful lot of courage to completely dedicate yourself 
to a healthy lifestyle or a specific weight loss goal.

Don't punish yourself for mistakes or slip-ups. Perhaps you indulged a bit too much last night at Happy Hour or at dinner. Maybe you decided to trade your usual morning exercise routine for an extra hour or two of sleep.  So what? 

                 You haven't completely blown it and you definitely are NOT a failure! 

Do not give it a second thought. Focusing on what you think you did wrong or getting angry at yourself, does nothing to inspire and motivate you and can actually set you up for failure! So...STOP

The moment those types of thoughts enter your brain - DISMISS THEM! 
Tell yourself you will try again later or tomorrow! 


Treat yourself the way you would treat that one person you care for 
more than anyone else in the world!  
With love. Patience. Grace. Understanding.

Yours in Good Health,
Cynthia
