After the previous weeks success I had planned to continue my day to day log of positive choices and actions. Doing this last week helped to measure and motivate me, so it made sense to continue what was working. Monday threw me off as I was still in Calgary and travelling back home later that day. Tuesday came along and I fully intended to get started and then before I knew it the week flew by with no tracking done.
I started to wonder if it was a discipline issue which led me to dig a bit deeper. The realization I came to is not all tools are necessarily meant to be long term. Sometimes they are more of a stepping stone or bridge to help give me clarity and move me forward. Each stepping stone or bridge serves it purpose in the moment. I can let it go, log it as a successful tool and continue onward.
Continuing to utilize my core set of tools helps me to navigate a path towards mastery as I strive to be the best version of myself. And as I change and evolve on a daily basis I can also adjust how and when I use those tools, while allowing for the supplemental tools I call stepping stones to come and go.
Yes!! There are many things I've done short term that have worked so well to get me back on track. At first I would feel guilty that I let it slip....but ultimately it had served its purpose. And they are always sitting there ready to be utilized again if need be. You've now inspired me to make a log of these things that I can literally reference in the "down" times. Thank-you!
