Setbacks and relapses(DW #819)
At least I do.
It is just part of the process. Set backs and relapses into old habits and ways of being do not signal lack of progress because:
GROWTH IS NOT LINEAR.
Growth does not occur in one beautiful, straight line from where you are to where you want to be. Growth looks more like a jagged zig zag line than a straight up-and-to-the-right line.
As George Leonard tells us: As we negotiate our path of mastery and let go of old habits, we need to have a "willingness to take one step back for every two forward, sometimes vice versa."
Sometimes vice versa!! This means that sometimes, on the journey, it will appear that you are taking only one step forward and two or three or four steps backwards.
The trick is to recognize the back slide AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. And get back on track.
