Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

No More Resetting

January 3, 2022

Reset – I think that was a considered word of the year from the past and the title of a post from September 2021, but resetting is not what I want to do. I can reset until the cows come home but it’s like rewinding a video tape – you just keep restarting and doing the same things over and over and you don’t move any further in the end. Well, I don’t anyway. I reset all the time. “Maybe I just need to start over with my spiritual life and start with the basics…again. Maybe I need to start over with my skincare routine and just get back to basics…again”. I did this with homeschooling too. Kid not understanding? Let’s get back to basics and start over. Guess what? None of us moved forward. Every time there was a bump in the road I hit reset/rewind and so no one moved through the problem/challenge and that doesn’t do anyone any good.

The main thing I need to do is just push through those challenges whatever comes. I’m trying to lose weight but there’s another house crisis – what should I do? Keep drinking the water and taking the vitamins and eating the fruits and vegetables. I don’t need to stop drinking water and eat 5 pounds of ice cream and give up until things get better because guess what? There’s always going to be another problem! What I really need is a way to get through those challenges so I don’t get derailed anymore. Someone to talk with, prayer, inspirational quotes, books, go for a walk, change my thinking – you get the idea. But I need to keep moving forward and keep on swimming because if I don’t I’m dead in the water.

The other thing I need to do is to add to what I’m already doing because I’m already doing the basics. Skincare not working? Add to the basics with products that will bring the change desired. Spiritual life in a slump? Pray on a deeper level – trust God more – do more. House getting cluttered again? Keep those routines in place and add in decluttering and detailed cleaning I’ve done the basics now it’s time to add something more.

So, cheers to you and 2022! I’m with everyone else hoping and praying for a better year but I’m going to build on that. My negativity needs to stop and it’s time to change that – time to treat myself and others better. That’s something we can all do.
