One bad apple

If my week one went well, yesterday I shot it all to smithereens. Can you actually blow an entire week with one day? That is what it felt like. The longer the day went on and the less I was doing, the more it felt like the entire week of productivity swirled down the drain.

Get over yourself. The only way that could be true is if you continue with that action or lack of. So you had a bad day. So you didn't do the to-do's. So you were the lazy, sit and zombie yourself all afternoon instead of getting up and sticking-to-the-plan person you should have been. Pfft. It's over. Move on. How did that make you feel? Is it better than if you did one thing on the list?

The answer of course, is no. Getting one or two of the other things done yesterday would have had a much more positive effect. The key is to get over it. You already know the result isn't what you want, so do the things that will give you the result.

There is no major upheaval here unless you make it that way. Go back to what it is you want to do and take a step toward it. It isn't all or nothing. It's still that adventure toward the goal. It would be too easy a goal if you didn't stumble at some point. One bad day doesn't ruin the entire process unless you keep reliving the bad day.
