<strong><span style="color: #000000;">Bad Week vs Good Week</span></strong>

<span style="color: #000000;">Was this a “bad week” or a “good week”?</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">How we talk to ourselves about the passage of time can set up limitations that can make it difficult to bounce back from challenges more quickly.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">For example, if you are working on weight loss and tell yourself, “Well, I really blew it with lunch today. There goes my whole week”, then you might decide to give up on your week, eat poorly, and wait until the following week to start over again.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">If you have a “moment”, or a “day”, rather than a “week”, then you do not have to wait a long time to start over.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">Having a rough moment lets you move on quickly to the next moment where you can bounce back, and make a healthier choice. You’re not trapped in the prison of waiting a whole week to get back on track.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">Listen to yourself and find out what you tend to say. See how this drives your attitude and discover the direction you want to go!</span>
