Judgment impedes every step you take on your fitness journey if you're not mindful.

Use self-compassion to:  

#1 Save yourself energy/decrease friction  

#2 Reduce the cost of making decisions/fewer judgments  

#3 Be happier now

You might know that your behavior is deeply flawed, but even then it takes real effort to make a change.  You need an environment that can support the kind of change you want to make, people around you that can remind you of the importance of the changes, and patience with yourself that changing your brain takes time.  Get comfortable being uncomfortable!

Failure is an event, not a person-Zig Ziglar

This podcast represents an internal conversation that can take place to make failure a profitable event in your life. Even if it is painful. Even if it is a big deal.

Failure is an event, not a person- Zig Ziglar

4 ideas for growing from failure:

Painful failures can be easy to dwell on. There were times in my life where I would grieve and journal about failure or loss for months at a time, thinking I would never be able to be free of the guilt or the grief. Personal failures hit very very hard, so once you accept responsibility and go through the process pulling out any valuable nuggets that can be had... move your focus towards forgiving yourself. That comes once you've taken responsibility but you must get on your own side in life, so don't spend any time beating yourself up for your weakest moments. Give yourself the love you deserve, which is unconditional!
