I worked out, but I didn't sweat.
I stretched, but it was only 5 minutes.
I felt better about my diet, but didn't cut out alcohol.
These are all things I USED to use as proof that what I was doing wasn't good enough.
Because I measured my success comparatively.
It wasn't good enough because it wasnt:
a) how I 'used to' do it
Or
b) all or nothing (aka perfection)
This wasn't conscious. But once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.
So I hope it reaches those that need to hear it ❤️
