Affirmation for this week of PERCEPTION - "I rise above judging my experiences as 'good' or 'bad,' for I know that all are ultimately designed for my benefit."
Learning from the mistakes that we make can be hard. Well.. for me it's hard.. I don't care to be very introspective about what I do or what I've done. As I've often heard "People that fail to study history are doomed to repeat it." This can be true of anything, including the mistakes that I have been making on my efforts to lose weight.
Recognizing the mistakes is easy enough. I think the hard part comes in changing from something that was "easy" and "mindless" to always being mindful. For me, there isn't a reward system in the world that can keep me on the path to success if the sidetrail looks interesting enough.
I guess the trick here is to look at the mistake, take the knowledge I can gain from it, and then release it from holding me back. Until the next time I stumble. As they say.. failure only comes when you don't get up "one more time".

Great post! That's my nephew, not my son in my journal. I kinda consider him a son since I did raise him for 3 yrs. while my brother got his life together. Thanx for the comment. Hugs, Dana
