"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Emerson
Ever been told you can't do something today because of something you did yesterday? Well sometimes our mistakes from yesterdays can cause harms to our todays. However, for the most part our yesterdays only haunt us in our minds. This post is about regaining your sanity about EVERYTHING you did yesterday.
Handling Today
Every night I lay my head down with a bible scripture and every morning I wake up trying to hold on to all of the good things and good people God has bestowed upon me.
My advice is to wake up EVERY morning with positive affirmations. God, the atmosphere, the universe, and your friends have already forgiven you for yesterday. So why not wake up, speak peace and positivity and forgive yourself.
Changing your Yesterdays
Never hold on to the old you and NEVER throw away an opportunity for growth just because people can't forgive your past.
My advice, a change for a new tomorrow starts today. Even if your past is only 1-day in your past, it is still your past. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But that doesn't mean people will just accept the new you.
Remember, You will get called fake before you get thanks. You will be shunned before you're accepted. Be strong and find a new positive friend or group, or hold on to your old faithful friend. But make sure these people are good for you and you're not returning to the "you" that held you back in life.
Never let your yesterdays negatively affect the new you and NEVER go back.
Friends not accepting of your todays?
THEN THEY'RE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. People that love you put your needs before theirs. Endulge in your success because they help you get there. Only want better for you. Never want to see you hurt. Never allow you to FAIL.
My advice, find new friends. How you do this, find a new positive outlet or hobby to put all of your old negative energy into. You'll find new friend with your new hobby. However, don't be hasty and be picky.
Remember, that friendship is about quality and not quantity. The number of years a person knows you doesn't constitute how good they are for you.
Always remember when it comes to friends more is less and less is more. Keep your circle small and loving!
What Have You Done for YOU lately?
Reward yourself.
If you're on a diet, every time you have a good food week buy yourself a non food present.
If you're in school, every-time you make a great score on your test or homework or have a great disciplined study week, buy yourself something small. Treat yourself to a weekend out or something small that you've wanted.
Remember only treat yourself when you REALLY deserve it. When you're having a really rough week or when you're doing really well in your academics, work, or health-wise. If you treat yourself when you REALLY deserve it you'll really feel it, feel more accomplished and feel more resolved with yourself in your spending.
Also, if you treat yourself only when you deserve it and not all day and every week, you'll be able to save in between the times when you don't deserve it so when you do deserve it, you'll REEEEEALLY be able to enjoy yourself.
I've purchased several huge items and done several big things for me and my friends when I've only spent money when I or my friends REALLY did something great to better ourselves or better the community. You don't have to have a lot of money to treat yourself. Save your money. This REALLY works if you stick to it!
You remember, all hopes holds for a better you tomorrow. Enjoy your today. I love you for reading!!!! Keep up the good work!
