Have you ever been so happy that you had to screw it up somehow?

I had a great week in my business, I hit 80lbs lost in my weight loss journey and I had yet another awesome date with an amazing man.

So naturally, I had to self-sabotage.

As a past emotional overeater, my first line of self-sabotage is always overeating, so I came home and ate cookies, cereal and my weight in goldfish crackers (does anyone ever emotionally overeat broccoli?) and I went to bed feeling like crap. So mission accomplished, but seriously wtf?

After dumping my brain out in my journal and doing some self-coaching, I found that the primary thought behind my self-sabotage was that I don’t deserve to be this happy. And when I think that thought, I feel guilty for all of the happiness, growth and positivity that I have worked really hard for and that sucks.

Choosing to be happy, no matter the circumstance is something that I’ve worked diligently toward for years and that practice has slowly changed my life.

When you think better, you feel better and when you feel better, you do better.

So I refuse to believe that I don’t deserve the happiness that I am experiencing and instead, I am practicing a new thought…I am living the life that God has created me for and I am deserving of all of the happiness that comes with it.

Blessings,
