The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
The ODA T reading for today is very interesting as it speaks about the slogan, "Keeping it simple." It points out that the entire Alanon program is simple-- as the purpose is to help us iron out the rough spots and that can be done only one day at a time.
It goes on to point out that each slogan, which is a simple concept is aimed at a relaxed approach to living Here are a few slogans that reinforces this principle : Let go and Let God, Easy Does it,Live and Let Live, First Things First.How Important is it, Principles above Personalities".
I love the quote from Hoagie Carmichael; "slow-motion gets you there faster".
I was so surprised to find that by being Present in the moment , living one day at a time, leaving the past in the past (except for the lessons learned) not projecting to the future, I could accomplish so much more in a day with serenity and courage that I never possessed in the past. I am so grateful for these tools.
