There are always days or even weeks that feel like a step back, but it's all beneficial in the end, because the more often you bounce back into alignment, the easier it gets. So, instead of beating up on yourself, be happy about that opportunity to learn and grow. For me, there is not that one way back. I have bad days and not even the desire to feel better, so I'm okay with feeling bad on that day. I have bad days on which I have a big desire to shift my thoughts and meditating and remembering that my reality isn't actually that real helps. And then there are days I go for distraction. Your guidance is always telling you which way to go.

Today is an off day. I thought I pulled myself out of this but I haven't. I'll try and keep the negativity to a minimum since I create my own reality, writing this post won't be too beneficial to my mood but I'm after advice, so it's worth the momentary delays. I slipped back into some old habits last night and I can't stop being mad at myself over it. I pretty much let my current reality get in the way of my desires and I'm still the type of person who'll run themselves down mentally and physically if I've made a "mistake". The annoying part of all of this is I know better! I'm just stuck in my old way of thinking, it was always so much easier to hide behind my mental health but that's not where I should be. How do you all ignore reality? I'm not a fan of this reality yet I can't stop obsessing. 

Sorry you're feeling off.

RE: how do I ignore "reality" - I live in my head, in my imagination - where I am my preferred self and where all is well and where "reality" is as I prefer it to be.  When I do that, then there's no room for worry.  Because if I am my preferred self, then I already have all that I want, so what's to worry about?!?

I choose what serves me and my good, in terms of thoughts and feelings and imagination and "reality."

If it doesn't serve me in a good way and if it doesn't make me feel good, I kick it out.  

I like to use this analogy with myself: I'm my own bad ass boss - and I'm my own inner bouncer.  I picture my mind like a nightclub - and I'm the one who decides what/who comes in or gets kicked out.  If the scene gets too unruly - BAM!  I kick out the riff raff. LOL 

I also liken it to when I'm sick/not feeling optimal health - I nourish myself and I take in things that make me feel good - like chicken soup.  If I have a sore throat, I don't go swallowing a whole bunch of milk or lemon juice or whatever LOL

I take vitamins, I put on comfy clothes, I soothe myself.  I do what feels right and good.  I don't go stand out in the cold shivering.

Ok, I know maybe all of this may sound easier said than done - that's why I like to break it all down to analogies - and imagine real life situations where I would act a certain way that's in my best interest.  For me, when I break it down and compartmentalize it into these tangible scenarios, then when it comes to LOA "reality" stuff, it seems a whole lot more tangible and accessible and doable and actually kinda easy...

I hope this maybe helped a bit.  

Wishing you a positive, cozy, comfy, happy day!  You're strong and you're powerful!  You got this!!!

Thank you for the replies guys, it really means a lot. This is an old story and needs to be changed, before I learned about the existence of LOA I had to do everything right, in order and all that jazz. As you can imagine I wasn't very happy. I've made so much progress so I'm hoping to get back where I was. he can wait. Today and tomorrow will be out me, everything else can wait until I'm feeling good in me. In this frame of mind, I won't be manifesting anything beneficial. The universe can deal with everything else. I'm spending time making myself feel better.
