I have just come across a Dear Abby column with these daily resolutions...I have printed them out and will be putting them all around my home and office. I think I will even make little handheld sheets for my kids. I feel it will be a great way to start our mornings on a positive note. Many of you have probably seen these before but I hope they are a reminder to you and for those that haven't seen or heard before, enjoy.
JUST FOR TODAY
JUST FOR TODAY; I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set unrealistic goals or try to overcome 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'll 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 myself.
JUST FOR TODAY; I will do something positive to improve my health. If I am a smoker, I will 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.
