Dont beat yourself up—nobody every improved from a position of judgment and self-hate. Have compassion for yourself, be kind, forgive slip-ups, and keep focusing on the positives. You do not need to make yourself feel bad in order to improve. We all have moods that change and shift, but we also possess the ability to choose how we respond. We can allow ourselves to feel what we feel without letting moods disrupt our goals or commitment. Notice your moods as moods and choose not to react to them. Act instead from your rational, conscious mind.
