Try Again
As Aaliyah sang "if at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again". Today, I've resolved to change my attitude. To control the things that I can control and let go of what I can't. I know this process isn't easy. I've already gotten into a habit I'm trying to break today. And honestly, that is my number one focus. I know that I cannot change too much at once. So out of everything, this particular habit has to change first.
But that doesn't mean I can't try to relax, work through some things, too. Cause it all boils down to the mind. No addiction is going away without changing the mind. So I told my best friend I'm trying to change my mantra:
Be better today. Don't worry about yesterday. Take care of myself. Leave temptations at the door. I am better than my addiction.

On a day when it feels like I'm in my 'old pattern', I remember that I'm aware of it, and that's a huge step forward!
Be gentle on yourself!
