Daily blog (audio): You learn from your mistakes (Stuff we tell our kids but then don't do ourselves)

<p>You learn from your mistakes (Stuff we tell our kids but then don't do ourselves)</p> <p><br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Those of you that have had children will probably have found yourselves saying the things that your parents used to say to you.</p> <p>If you’ve not had kids, I’m sure you’ll know the kinda thing I’m talking about.</p> <p>Little lessons that we want them to learn.</p> <p>Things we believe.</p> <p>But that we don’t always act on ourselves.</p> <p>Our ego might frame it a different way to protect us…….</p> <p>But that’s what it boils down to ultimately.</p> <p>And we find ourselves doing the whole “Do as I say, not as I do”.</p> <p>Over the course of this week, I’m going to cover 5 such sayings that you’ll probably recognise.</p> <p>And ask the question if we’re doing the same in our lives.</p> <p>And, hopefully, help make it so we do, at least a little bit more.</p> <p>The first one is “You learn from your mistakes”.</p> <p>We do sometimes, sure.</p> <p>But sometimes we keep making the same mistake over and over and over again.</p> <p>We miss a planned workout for a reason that’s happened many times before?</p> <p>Have we really learned?</p> <p>We set out to make one food choice and make another one that we then regret time and time again?</p> <p>What was the lesson there?</p> <p>If we’re not living it, we’ve not learned it.</p> <p>Or, something doesn’t go to plan……..</p> <p>And we just don’t put ourselves in that position again.</p> <p>We overdo it in a workout and feel it ‘too much’ the next day…….</p> <p>Then don’t workout for months or years.</p> <p>Or we make some attempts to change our eating……..</p> <p>Find it all too much……..</p> <p>And immediately go back to the way we ate before because we’ve practiced ourselves good at that already.</p> <p>Mistakes can be considered as opportunities.</p> <p>We can choose to see them as ways
