Be kind to yourself if you slip up from "summary" of The Mindful Diet by Ruth Wolever PhD,Beth Reardon MS,RD,LDN,Tania Hannan
When you slip up, it's easy to fall into a pattern of self-criticism and negative self-talk. This can actually make things worse, leading to a cycle of guilt, shame, and ultimately more slip-ups. Instead, try to treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you would offer to a friend who had made a mistake. Remember that we are all human, and nobody is perfect. Accept that slip-ups are a normal part of the journey towards change. They are not a sign of failure, but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. Reflect on what happened without judgment, and consider what you might do differently next time. It's important to approach this process with curiosity and an open mind, rather than criticism and blame. Practice self-forgiveness by letting go of any lingering feelings of guilt or shame. Holding on to these negative emotions will only weigh you down and make it harder to move forward. Instead, acknowledge the slip-up, take responsibility for it, and then release it with kindness and understanding. Remember that you are not defined by your mistakes, but by how you choose to respond to them. Focus on progress, not perfection. Every small step you take towards your goals is a success, even if there are occasional setbacks along the way. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small, and use them as motivation to keep moving forward. Remember that change takes time and effort, and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Stay committed to your goals, and be patient with yourself as you work towards them.
