Mindset Monday - Every Day is a Restart Day

Start today as a new day with a new 'you' feeling. Every day is a restart day. Don't let the emotions and negative feelings from the last day, week, or year, affect your day.
Too many of us will let one relapse in a day affect the rest of our day. Especially when we know we have lost track, we give up. We say things to ourselves like, 'Since I blew it today, I might as well give up and move on,' and then go back to our usual daily routine without thinking about it. We do this because everyday routines are so comfortable and easy.
Well, it's time to stop thinking that way and consciously work on making each day better than the day before. After all, we chose to make changes to better ourselves. I know I did. I am actively working to focus on the positive things in life to continue to attract the positive journey I am currently on. I understand that this is where I am supposed to be, but then things happen, and life moves in a direction where I forget the changes I want to make, and I take it as it comes.
I am here to say no more for me. I am consciously going to focus on my words, thoughts, emotions, and actions to bring me to where I want to be. One area I am focusing on for myself is my weight loss journey. I have been trying for YEARS to lose weight and be healthier, so I look on the outside the way I feel on the inside. I love myself and know I am enough, but I have issues looking in the mirror below the shoulders.
That is what brought about today's mindset Monday message for me. I allowed myself to indulge in restaurant food three times this weekend as I enjoyed the conversations with my daughter at the table. It was a great way to get out of the house and talk. Unfortunately, that led to my indulging in foods off my plan, soda and caffeine too late in the day, and my inability to sleep last night. The lack of sleep led to me getting up late, rushing my morning routine, etc.
Well, I am not going to beat myself up for this. I will start today as a restart, a brand new day. I will treat myself the way I deserve to be treated and focus on being as good to myself as I am to others. After all, I deserve all the kindness I can give myself.
Are you as kind to yourself as you are to others? If not, today is a restart; try it. Try to give yourself all the love and kindness you deserve.
