A popular phrase with 12-step programs is “Just For Today,” yet it is so worthy of everyday life outside of those programs, too. I’ve made this something that I think about often throughout the day when things aren’t going right or I feel overwhelmed.
How often do we spend in thought of the future or the past, whether good or bad?
Do we think about what we could have done different and wish we could change things?
Are we obsessed with planning what’s going to happen tomorrow or next week or next year?
What’s wrong with concentrating on what’s going on today?
That’s what I‘m saying to myself every morning and any time throughout the day when I need it. It seems so simple, yet I have the hardest time keeping it simple.
I challenge anyone reading this to take the rest of the day and not worry about what you didn’t do yesterday or what is coming up tomorrow. Just For Today.
Totally needed this today!!!
I’m glad it helped, Katie. It’s something that I’ve been focusing on daily. I am SUCH a planning person, and it’s so easy for me to get caught up in anticipation of “the next thing” that I end up missing out on the daily events and how much I can get out of them, too. ❤
