When setting on a new trajectory in life, there are going to be times when things are not going to go according to plan. What is important is to not be harsh or critical of yourself and remember to give yourself grace while picking up the pieces and moving forward with what you need to do to get back on track.

I have been the one time and time who has continued to set myself on a trying trajectory to make sounder decisions in my life. After years of not doing what was needed for continual stretches of time, it can be hard to realize that I need to get back on track from when I fall off course. Not doing so sets up a continual pattern of repeating negative behavior that can be unhealthy for me when I know that doing something isn’t right for me to be doing.

Throughout the past few weeks, I have realized that behaviors while repetitive can be hard to resolve, especially when I choose to get into old patterns because I literally fall into old habits that I know do not help the situation at hand. I know that I need to change my behavior but out of boredom or self-pity, I fall prey to old habits and the old cycles repeat themselves. It is something that I know that needs to be corrected. I know that it is important now more than ever that it is essential for me to work at being better at making the changes I need to make as I am on borrowed time to do so.

The reality is that I do not see the fact that I experienced an uncertainty of what to do as the day winds down and that is what leads into not being able to keep focused on what to do to where I get into the old behaviors and work on being able to realize the need to get back on track better than I have in the past. Now realizing where the mistake has been made allows me to see where I have fallen victim to where I need to improve my habits for the better and not fall into the traps of where I have been for some time.

Now that I am getting better at recognizing my shortfall when it comes to problematic behavior and I am thankful for that, but it is important to realize that I need to be kind to myself in this process as it has been a long time that I have been repeating the negative cycle with upmost disregard for getting back on track, however now I realize that it is a necessity that I must work at being better at addressing the problem areas in the behaviors that get me the way that I need to be and work towards getting back on track better and being more constant with knowing where the problem areas lie within and work on making sure that I do not go to areas where they lie within, literally!

So I am now understanding that it is important to move forward with bettering the situation, however it is just as important to remember that I need to give myself grace as I move forward and accept the mistakes while not being critical of myself but moving forward.
