When you fall off the wagon, remember to have self-compassion. It’s easy to criticize yourself, but it’s not constructive. Criticism doesn’t help you move forward. If you feel like you’ve failed, ask yourself, Am I going to give up? If the answer is no, then failure is just another step toward success. Collect your failures. However, when you feel agitated, mad, or bad, take note of your internal thoughts. That is the first step toward changing those negative thoughts—becoming aware of the process. Then you can start to change it.
