Changing Mindset

It has been one heck of a day. It was one of those days that started “off” and just never really rectified itself. Bless my dog’s heart I forgot to feed her dinner until it was our usual time to go to bed. I had a mental to-do list today. Many of the things I had on said to-do list did not get touched.

And that’s okay. The lesson of letting go of perfection is kicking in. Some days I cannot do all the things that I meant to do. Some days are just off days. Some days I get sick. Some days depression comes calling. Some days there are just more important things than the to-do list. I refuse to beat myself up about it or become a “Debby downer” because I wasn’t able to check the things off my list.

This “letting go of perfectionism” mindset means a lot of things. It means I get to try again tomorrow. It means I’m excited to wake up tomorrow and get back into my routine and get some things done. It means I’m looking forward to Monday instead of dreading it. It means I hold gratitude for this day and expectant hope for tomorrow.
