Give Yourself a Break

Break Time:

Give Yourself a Break

Sometimes we lose track of our progress along the course of self improvement. We are so focused on achieving that summit on the golden mountain we fail to turn around and see just how far we’ve come.

The other morning, after a hour meditation that , to me , did not go well, I felt that prickle of frustration.

“Surely after all this time I would be getting a little more consistent result,” I thought.

I have been reading and practicing for three years now!

I can quote chapter and verse.

Since I meditate before I go off to work, I prepared for work and started out on my commute into to work.

I began to think about my frustration when the light went on in my head.

Wait a minute?

Think back to three years ago. Where was I and what was I doing?

I then began to list all the things I’d accomplished in those three years. As the list grew my frustration gave way to amazement.

I’d made serious progress in living the life I wished to lead.

I still had a journey ahead… I would always have a journey ahead, but I felt really good about all my work to live, walk, and breath my dream.

So what about you?

I think we all have a tendency to see the immediate, the result right in front of you now. In that moment we ignore each success, each victory, and focus instead on some current challenge.

If you find yourself in this kind of situation:

Stop.

Review.

And write about your journey in your journal.

List your accomplishments.

You will be amazed too.

Remember to give yourself a break.

You are doing great.
