Yesterday was not a good day...
Yesterday morning I woke up and could not go back to sleep...
It was awful.
Sunday’s audition did not go so well. I am incredibly hard on myself and I was trying a new monologue that I want to use for my grad school audition, my inner critic came out in full swing. I talked about with Orlando and my friend, Klarissa and I felt better. Still, I guess that negativity didn’t fully come out so it came out to haunt me as I tried to sleep.
Being overly self critical is one of my biggest flaws. I am aware that mistakes are normal, that failure is a learning curve for success, but I can’t handle my screw ups. Needless to say I did not have a good first half of the day yesterday. My lack of sleep and negative thoughts put me in a low mood, but Orlando took me out. We had a long talk on the long train ride and that’s when I finally felt free.
Yesterday’s meatless Monday dinner was simple as we had a filling lunch.
So far, we’ve been doing really well in our commitment to meatless Monday. I think it helps that Orlando is actually a creative cook so it’s easier for him to experiment with recipes than it is for me! He sees a picture and recreates a meal based off of that, while I need a recipe to accomplish anything!
We also cheated a little bit on our processed foods challenge since the museum we were at had gingerbread cookies and chocolates we really wanted to try. We ate them and enjoyed them guilt free and I need to remember that feeling.
