In yoga today I was feeling discouraged because there were poses that I used to be able to do but currently can't and beating myself up about it, but then I was reminded that I'm healing both my body and soul and my journey is far from over. Everyday I'm getting stronger and I can see how far I've come since the beginning of the semester. I'm going in the right direction and even if I'm slow, I'll still get there.
I've never really considered myself a perfectionist, though I do have my moments, but in yoga that's what we were talking about today, and I was totally guilty of it when it comes to exercising and eating healthy. If I messed up, I would beat myself up and completely fall apart. Take for example this morning. It wasn't even that I was hungry, but while I was getting gas, I had the kids buy donuts, and when I ate it, it didn't even taste all that great. It was just habit, and my habits are slowly changing. I think because I've been trying to make better choices my body is noticing. So, I'm going to pick myself up off the floor and not wallow in self pity and make better choices today and keep going.
