I can't believe it's been a year.
And here we are, one year and only three relapses later.
Society tells us to rejoice at big moments--graduations, birthdays, job promotions--and we should. But we are never told to celebrate voluntary rehabilitation, quitting smoking, sticking to diet plans... Society ridicules us when we make a big fuss out of these achievements, but really, aren't they just as worthy of a celebration?
If it took all the strength that you had to get out of bed this morning, celebrate. If you finally put on your running shoes after weeks or months of excuses, celebrate. If you have successfully cut down your caffeine intake from three cups to one cup per day, give yourself that pat on the back. Sure, there may be some areas in your life you're still struggling with, but even for just one moment, allow yourself to appreciate that hard-earned progress, no matter how silly it may seem to other people.
After all, aren't small victories still victories?
Hey nice post. You mean you wont drink soda for the rest of your life anymore? If you ate a very oily meal, what would u drink to get rid of that oily feeling in your stomach?
ReplyDeleteAnd another question, how do you read your bible? Do u start from genesis or you just choose a random chapter to read?
Hi! Yes, I am staying away from soda for as long as I can, and hopefully that means forever.haha I have resorted to iced tea--the still unhealthy but lesser evil alternative.
DeleteI have an Our Daily Bread devotional as my guide so I read the passage recommended for the day. I also do sequential reading, but not everyday. I'm still in 1 Kings. :s
Some of my Christian friends say that it's better to begin with the New Testament, but I already started with the Old Testament and I decided to just go from there.
