Just for Today, I Will…

Just for today, I will…

be where my feet are. I won’t worry about the things that are out of my control. I won’t live in the future or dwell on the past. I will be exactly where I am – right here, right now.

say no to the things that are not in my best interest. I will protect my time and my energy. I will not fill my body with garbage. I will decline invitations to spend time with people or in places that drain me. I will get enough rest. I will say no when it’s appropriate.

meet myself where I’m at. I won’t waste time wishing things were different – that I were stronger or smarter or wealthier or healthier. I will accept my present self for who she is, today, and I will acknowledge that if I wish to change, I can do the work, one day at a time.

challenge myself to grow. I will recognize that I don’t have to stay the same forever, if I don’t want to. I will recognize that there are opportunities out there that I have never explored – new ways to do things, new lessons to learn, new people to meet who can teach me things. I will recognize that I might be comfortable with the status quo, but I will allow myself to grow anyway.

Just for today, I know that I can do anything I put my mind to. I may not do it perfectly, but I can try it anyway. 

Just for today.

One day at a time.

Anything is possible.
