A New Year.....Everyday Resolutions.

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Realty Tri-County

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 ourRose 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.

Tina - these are great positive affirmations for everyone to read each day.  I like the idea of printing them out and reading them daily!  It's funny...I remember reading this in Dear Abby many many years ago, I think.

Short, sweet and very powerful...Thank you Tina. I believe we should constantly fill our hearts and minds with the thoughts and feelings of the things we choose to experience in life.

These are great. Too many people don't focus on the current day,  They are too much into the future or the past.
