Self Correcting

ut oh.
You know when you make a mistake...and it took you awhile to catch yourself making this mistake...there were red flags, there were signs, but somehow rationalization and denial set in eluding reality, the reality of the fact that it was a mistake that could have been prevented. My mistake even effected others, and that did not feel good either.

I had a moment this week...and had to go through the array of emotions that also went with the reality of the choices I made along the way that lead to this off kilter end result. I had to be brutally honest to not only have a moment of self awareness, but to move past it. Taking action instead of brooding and beating myself up.

At this moment I still feel odd, and have had to Let Go and Let God, Forgive myself, and then allow myself to take action in the solution.

As an athlete, I have always been tough on myself. Not leaving much room for error, as I am always looking to get better, faster, more efficient...etc....continually chasing self correction to move forward.
To make corrections were always acceptable in my sports...but when it came to self correcting in my other life situations...I wasn't so kind to myself or quick to change.
The knack of making corrections without beating myself up was an area that eventually turned grey....blurred if you will.

All I can say is, thank goodness for choices, and today I recognize that:
I can still learn.
I can still make corrections.
I can make adjustments no matter if it is in sport or other departments of my life.

Whew!
