This is the same question I was going to ask ….so suppose I haven’t done the task today ..I’ll adjust it with the task of next day and accomplish it the very next day .

Those days are usually very busy stressful days and I just end up forgetting and then beating myself up for it. Which I shouldn’t do but I feel bad because I really truly am trying to become a better person.

I usually put small habits in the routines. So even if i know i can’t complete my routine and achive my daily goal, i always do even 1 or 2 of my habits. Then i know i haven’t broken the chain of my daily goals. Because doing somethig even small, is better than nothing.

Missing goals is something everyone does so don’t be ashamed But when I miss my goals I tell my self it’s alright cause I have tomorrow but having tomorrow doesn’t mean to keep missing it having tomorrow is another chance If I can do the goal I will but if I can’t ITS OK

Hmm. I think I set some time aside to "debug" and reflect on why I didn’t follow through the goals. But I also forgive myself. I’m a human. And I could do better and should do better but still, I’m a human.

Even though I can’t revive the time I miss that goal on a specific day I can double the goal’s time to make me feel like I haven’t missed a day. Like for example, if I didn’t drink today I’ll do it twice tomorrow.

I get lazy. Yes, I kind of just give up. I do something else like eat bad food and go on social media for hours. It’s not healthy.

A day of pause. Rome was not built in a day. I will no longer beat myself up over the things I do not do, rather reflect on why it happened and be viciously positive to the best of my ability to keep moving forward. There is always tomorrow

My rowing coach advised us in 9th grade to not adopt the all or nothing mindset. This is when you create a strict schedule, and after the first day you miss you give up because you think you have failed. Instead, get up the next day, acknowledge that you faced an obstacle, then go out and try again—giving your best that you have that day (not all days will be equal).
