Today at work we talked about mistakes. A co-worker and I were pointing out a mistake someone made, and not for the first time, but for the hundredth time. And we were asked if we had ever made a mistake. And so I said “it’s not that we don’t make mistakes, we absolutely make mistakes, but we try our best not to repeat them moving forward.” And it sort of stopped the person right there. Because I am not a perfect person. And you are not a perfect person. And yes, we will all make mistakes. But the most important part of making a mistake is making every effort to do better after that and not repeat the same mistake over and over again. Because doing so makes me wonder if it’s really a mistake or if it’s more a lack of concern or a personality trait or a pattern of behavior. So lesson #43857: it is totally ok to make mistakes and own those mistakes but try hard and make effort not to repeat them moving forward. #katsavage #wcw #musings
#SundayThoughts // there are photos where I look at myself and think “wow,
I feel so pretty.” And there are moments when I look at myself and count all the ugly, terrible flaws until I can’t stand myself. I think that’s a cycle we all experience. Right now, I’m going through a particularly bad one. I’m pretty sure stress has caused a terrible break out on my face and when you’re 31, that just sucks. So of course, I’m skipping make up and all that in an effort to aid it’s healing and that makes me feel even worse because all I want to do is cover it up 😐 So I looked for a photo I didn’t hate. So I could remember myself before this state of self-hate. So yeah, I’m trying to take my Sunday and just relax and undo some of this stress today. I’m still in pajamas, in fact. I’m going to take it slow today because stress and anxiety will manifest physically. You have to take care of yourself first. I have to fill my cup up first. Go, people, use this Sunday to fill your cup. #katsavage
