JUST FOR TODAY
A friend emailed this to me. It summarizes what I have been writing about recently.
Just for Today: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.
Just for Today: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me.
Just for Today: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot.
Just for Today: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for Today: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly and not interrupt when someone else is talking. I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.
Just for Today: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully-if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block.
Just for Today: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.
