The next part in the section on, "Appreciating Who We Are," Cheryl C. Lant address on "God's Love" (which I have been slowly studying and mediating in my quest for improving my view of myself) talks about how it is important that I remember that I am an unique and to not compare myself to others but to set goals and then compare ourselves to our own self.
I have already set the goal I am working on as I write: to study on how to build my love for myself each day and mediate it as I write in this here blog. I have done surprisingly well with that so far!
Next goals:
1. Catch myself when comparing myself to others these next 7 days and change that thought to a positive thought about both me and that other person.
2. When I make a mistake, instead of beating myself up for hours or the whole rest of the day (i.e. today when I didn't put enough flour in the cookies at work and they turned out completely horrible), I will acknowledge the mistake and plan how I will change next time or what I can do to fix the problem (i.e. it is too late to fix those awful cookies but right now I will allow myself to have made a mistake. It is human. I was bound to happen sometime. Also, I didn't have recipe so I was going on memory. At least this wasn't with a main dish. Next time I can just print off a recipe the day before and follow it. Pretty simple solution).
