Ever feel like a loser?
Like you waste your seconds, minutes, hours, days?
Placing labels on your momentary loss of focus?
Saying things like “I wasted an entire day by feeling miserable and doing nothing.”……….”I’m such a fuck up.”…………..”I never do anything right.”……………..”Why does this always happen to me?”
Do you get caught up in the loop? Unable to see anything other than your perceived mistakes?
Once in the loop, it’s not enough to dwell on the imperfections of the current day, the mind must dig up the corpses from the past.
By the day’s end your brain is a tossed salad of rotting produce. You crawl into bed with a gaping hole in the center of your being. A vortex of black where you’re sure your heart is meant to be. A nameless fear clinging to your gut.
Errors, mistakes, lapses in judgment………all they need is simple correction. We mustn’t hold them in our grasp trying to solve them as if they were a puzzle.
We can set them down and walk away.
They are simply attempts to keep you unaware of your True Self.
Dwelling on our perceived mistakes, puts them in a place of power. All we are doing is delaying our learning. We clog our senses and can no longer hear the soft whispers of the Universe.
The greatest harm we do to ourselves is to remain in the loop.
Take a flying leap my friend! Redirect your course and move forward.
It’s merely a momentary loss of focus.

A very timely piece for me. Thanks!

Holding on to mistakes, to maybe cuddle them even can be far more exhausting than to put them down. They’ll still be there but maybe not weigh so heavy.

So good! The loop is the trap for sure. Loved the tossed salad bit and I’m pretty hard on myself for getting caught on emotional hooks and going around wasting time “you know this shit why are you still..” and all the rest of it. It truly does just prevent the full stop – move on – then again life is a journey of commas and semi colons – we go on. Until we don’t. So may as well fill the time working out how to fly this thing. Great post Mare.
