What my mistakes taught me
I’m grateful for my past mistakes because they have made me into the person I am now today. I now realize that complaining is a waste of time. I realize that I need to reach out to others and speak respectfully to have others treat me respectfully. I realize that it is useless to entertain negative obsessive thoughts and that it is better to thank them for trying to protect me and either reframe them into something positive or change my focus to something productive or relaxing. Resisting my thoughts or bargaining with them only reinforces them. It is only a thought habit and is not me. I realize that when stressed I need to take a few deep breaths and ground myself.
Struggling with a mistake right now, but hoping to get to the point where I can learn from it and better myself!
