Giving It Your All
If you can do your best and forget your worst, you've already got a head start on tomorrow. As long as you lay it out there every day, you can relax when yesterday is behind you. Of course, the only way this will happen is if you give yourself permission to forget. You can use this approach in anything: Pick up a problem, do what you can with it, and then put it down. Work your tail off at the office, then leave it there (the work, not your tail). Deal with a personal crisis by finishing off one day at a time. There's a great deal of satisfaction in leaving things be for a moment. There's a great deal of freedom in knowing that you could do no more. And there's a great deal of success awaiting the person who gives it her all, no matter what.
I really REALLY need to take the advice given above and learn to forget about yesterdays mistakes. I really have enough problems today without worrying about yesterdays as well. Of course you need to learn from mistakes so you don't repeat them.
You also need the mindset that says you can learn from them and do better next time. That is waht I don't have at the moment. I can't see any way to stop repeating things I perceive as 'mistakes' and ' failures'
I am not in a good frame of mind at the moment.

I am sorry you were not feeling good on this day. I am finding it hard to escape that thought process as well but I can see very small amounts of progress in my thinking. I know you can too....just a bit hard to feel positive when your having a lousy day
