Last night we went for late night dessert with my daughter Sahar who had just returned from University.  We had a great family bonding, however, we ended up eating too much.

The next morning I was feeling guilty of eating too much.  At the same time I was feeling good about the great family time.  After going back and forth with these two emotions, I decided to focus on feeling good about the great family time.

This shift made me feel happier, resulting in far superior work productivity and better food control.

We all do things, once in a while, which are not something you are proud of, like eating too much.  You cannot change what has already happened.  However, you can learn from your mistakes and focus on what you did right.  By so doing, you continue on a positive movement and are gentler and kinder during the rest of the day.

How about you?  Do you let a mistake stop you from having a productive and kind day?
