In my last blog I mentioned that I was going to make a commitment to meditating every day. The goal of which was to manifest certain desired outcomes based on the commitment to doing what I promised I would do on a daily basis…MEDITATE! Now it is 30 days later, and I have already missed my meditation on at least three to four different days throughout the month. This obviously does not qualify as every day, positioning me at a crossroads between pretty good (27 out of 30 days) and the obvious reality of failing to meet my stated goal of meditating every day in the month!
Should I admit that I have already failed and stop torturing myself by making promises I choose to break?
Unlike many failed commitments in the past, this time the answer is NO!!!! This time I am going to get back on the metaphorical horse and commit to having been good enough this past month and will do EVEN BETTER this next month. It is time to stop giving myself excuses for giving up on really good ideas and honest desires expressed in moments of inspiration. In the past I have successfully used acronyms to remind me of actions that need to be taken, as well as repeated often enough to have a true and realistic expectation of success.
Here, I will use the acronym REPEAT.
The lessons of the acronym are:
R ecognize: Recognize your weaknesses as well as your strengths with forgiveness and congratulations
E xpect: An Expectation of success if you are willing to pay the price
P rofit: Profit requires discipline
E ndure: Endurance is necessary in order to create a habit
A cquire: Acquire role models, following their example is a great short-cut to success
T ime: Give yourself time, an essential component of wisdom
Next month will be a great month, for which I have exceptional expectations!
