Notebook
May 20th, 2008 by admin

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 ovecome all of my problems at once.  I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today:  I will be happy.  I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me.  If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

Just for today:  I will accept what is.  I will face reality.  I will correct those things that 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.  I will not be a mental loafer.

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 will not speak ill of others.  I will improve my appearance, speak softly and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

Just for today:  I will refrain from improving anybody but mysef.

Just for today:  I will do something positive to improve my health.  If I’m overweight, I will eat healthfully – if only 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 responsibilty for my own actions.
