So, you have a goal or objective related to forming or breaking a habit? There is some pattern of behavior you are trying to establish—the doing or not doing of something on a regular basis…
When you fall out of the pattern of acting in a way that you are trying to maintain,, you can't stay down for long, or staying down will become the new pattern. Just this once becomes, one more time, which becomes, one more time again, which become the new pattern.
If you have long-term goal for your business, for your health, for your finances, for relationships, and you mess up, it's not an excuse to give up. It's just a blip, and you need to, as quickly as possible, return to the habits you were trying to maintain.
The longer you linger in doing the things that differ from the goal behaviors, the harder it will be to return to way you want things to be. Don't let a fall become a fail!
When you accidentally mess up, it's easy to intentionally mess up "just this once." And then it's even easier to mess up on purpose "just once more" and then "just one more time!" In no time, you are back in a pattern of acting that is utterly different from what you wanted to be doing!
If you fall down, get back up. Messing up is not an excuse to give up! Slipping back is not an excuse to stop moving forward.
Go back to the things you were doing that were working. Keep doing what you were doing in order to keep getting the results you were getting.
Don't let one departure from your course derail you forever from your gaol.
