If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
That’s the saying that was drilled into me when I was young. Don’t give up! Anything worth having is worth working for! Stick to your guns! You can do it!
I’m finding my adult version is a wee bit different.
If at first you don’t succeed…
Take a deep breath. Get a cup of coffee. Clear your mind with a bit of twitter scrolling. Put that load of clothes in the wash. Eat something so your blood sugar’s not low. Fill up your water cup. Pet a fur baby. Put on some music. Take a nap. Eat another snack. Take a deep breath.
And try, try again.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “if.” Start your post with the word “If.” Enjoy!
That approach works for me. Also forgetting it all and watching kiddies TV works as well.

I used to have a little sign near my computer at work that told me to keep breathing. It was a good reminder that breathing under negative circumstance is important…coffee or tea comes next. 🙂

My watch reminds me to breathe twice a day and I swear, sometimes the timing is downright eerie.

This post is Brilliant! I recently read an article to paraphrase said life’s too short making it okay to quit something you don’t enjoy. It took me to long to realize my try and try again was for things I thought were expected of me. I was an in it to the bitter end girl. Not any more. Happy Saturday!

This is a perfect way to put it. Those “shoulds” get under our skin like nothing else does. It’s a great day when we finally learn which to let go. 🙂
