So I broke my promise to myself, what’s next?

Last night I was so tired that I fell asleep before I could post on my blog for the day. I woke up and felt awful and as if I was a failure. I had broken my promise to myself to post every day for all of July. I immediately thought that I should just give up and that I had proved once again that I could not follow through on anything that I said I was going to do.

But after I pulled myself out of that negative thought spiral I was able to see that even though I had missed one day it really wasn’t the end of the world, and I had just stumbled a little.

I think that in the past when I had broken a promise to myself I would just immediately talk negatively to myself and than I would just quit whatever it was that I was doing. But this time I am not going to repeat that same pattern. I’m going to move past the mistake and give myself a break and just try to do better tomorrow.
