Cut the Loop

I’ve always been a chronic looper. The past plays out in perpetuity.

Like an endless rerun, I’m reviewing everything in my mind about what happened. What if I said this? Why did this occur? Where did I go wrong?

It can be such a straining process. Heavy on the head, as I play the brain film back and back and back. To help, one thing I read that I’m repeating back to myself is this: You made the best choice with the knowledge you had.

With all the available information at the time, you made a call. On a majority of occasions, it’s okay if it was wrong. You can now make a better call going forward.

A reminder to myself: Cut the loop. Break the cycle. Forgive yourself. And focus on what’s next. ⏭
