Whenever I feel like I need to change something and improve, I have to remind myself to take it slow. Change doesn’t come over night. It’s a process. Baby steps. Don’t dive right in. Step slowly and gracefully. Be okay with imperfection.
I aim for being better than yesterday, not as good as tomorrow.

I can relate to this since I was a swimmer (and since you were a runner you can too)! It wasn’t about winning every race, it was just about going a little faster than the last race, even if that was only a couple hundredths of a second off my best time. I need to remember that in my daily life, I don’t have to win every day … I just need to go a lil faster than the day before!

Good advice, but for those who tend to be really hard on themselves, you need to realize that sometimes today won’t be better than yesterday. Our feelings/abilities/performance in life is like the stock market…there are dips but hopefully it’s a generally upward trend. So when I feel stressed because today doesn’t feel better than yesterday, is it better than a month ago? A year? 3 years? True progress can’t be seen day by day, but month by month and year by year.

I totally needed to hear this today…I had spinal surgery recently and was disappointed to hear how long it would take for the nerves to heal, and consequently, the muscles to work correctly. All in good time! Thank you
