A light bulb went off in my head just the other day, .....as I'm slowly but surely grasping and applying sessions 3-8, I've adopted a new (good)attitude about something.

Me and my daughter have been encouraging eachother in the things we want to make changes in, that taking responsability and CHOOSING to bring these changes about is simpley a matter of:

Making ONE decision at a time, ONE choice at a time.....Success is acheived by making one possitive choice/decision at a time!!

And choosing to RESIST the temptation of looking back at poor decisions and choices, because dwelling on and being depressed about the PAST is only waisting time!

SO WHAT I ate that whole bag of Doritos earlier, that doesn't mean my whole goal of loosing weight is shot and I should give up and quit trying....
I have the power to make a better decision and keep going next opportunity!!

I don't exactly know why this is so freeing to me,... maybe because my tendancy has been an "all or nothing" approach, which blows mistakes WAY out of perportion, and is an unrealistic way of trying to live.

So, I'm feeling good about this new realization of healthy empowerment.

Your fellow travler,

Hi!
You are so right and It's not easy to practice.
But when you get there and really believe it it's such a relief. It's like Lucinda keeps telling us, to live in the presious present moment. Live this day like you want and you won't regret it tomorrow. We have to replace our bad memories with new, healthy ones.
