This is similar to something i had once printed out and it helped me through a rough patch in my life. thought i'd share.Just for today, I will live through this dayonly,Herbal cigarettes, and not set far-reaching goals to try toovercome all my problems at once.I know I can do something for 24 hours thatwould overwhelm me if I thought I had tokeep it up for a lifetime.Just for today, I will be happy.Abraham Lincoln said, "Most folks areabout as happy as they make up theirminds to be". He was right. I will not dwellon thoughts that depress me. I will chasethem out of my mind and replacethem with happy thoughts.Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is.I will face reality. I will correct those thingsthat I can correct and accept those I cannot.Just for today, I will improve my mind. I willnot be a mental loafer. I will force myselfto read something that requires effort,thought, and concentration.Just for today, I will do something positiveto improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'llmake an honest effort to quit. If I'm overweight,I'll eat nothing I know to be fattening and onlywalking around the block or using the stairsinstead of the elevator. I'll force myself to exercise.Just for today, I will make a conscious effort tobe agreeable. I will look as good as I can,dress becomingly, speak softly, act courteously,and not interrupt when someone else is talking.Just for today,smoking cessation, I'll try not to improve anybodyexcept myself. We know so much more aboutnutrition and how much exercise and sensibleliving can extend life and make it moreenjoyable; so just for today, I'll take goodcare of my body so I can celebratemany more happy new years.Just for today, I will have a program.
