Slogan for Today – One Day At A Time - 9/20/15
Permalink  

The slogan, One Day At A Time

Provides a practical approach to challenges and fears.

We focus our energies on dealing productively with today,

and we give up worrying about a future we can not predict

or control and about a past we cannot change. It helps us

break overwhelming tasks into manageable steps and live

more mindfully.

Living in the past is VICTIM, Living in the future

is MANIPULATING. Live in the present.

 

Happy Sunday!

Hi Debb I believe that this slogan has become an alanon way of life for me. It was not easy to achieve.

Leaving the past in the past and not continuing to project into the future was difficult I reasoned I had to keep remembering the pain so as not to repeat the event and needed to worry about the future so as to protect myself.

Alanon said NOT SO --Learn the lessons from the past, make them a part of who you are, live one day at a time, doing the next right thing, trusting HP and the future will take care of itself. So true--Love living in the day and the moment.

Happy Sunday Debb - thanks so much for your share and service work here!

This slogan helps me realize that all I truly have is today....this one day to do what I can/want to do to make me a better person and/or to have a different/better life. Fretting about the past and/or projecting about the future does nothing at all for me but cause me sadness or anxiety. When I can stay grounded in this day, I have so much more peace.

Isn't it amazing how simple slogans can profoundly affect our lives? I am grateful for them, the program and you!!
