Returning to the groove of set schedules with school and school activities and all the other stressors that also come into play with this change in routine, I remind myself nothing gets accomplished any quicker if I dwell on everything all at once and look far ahead. Here are affirmations I am choosing to focus on to assist me in living in the present moment:


I choose to greet each new day with a fresh perspective; each moment in this day has not been lived.


I will greet each moment with fresh eyes and let each moment stand on its own clear of the past moments.


I choose to look only at each moment of each task one step at a time and choose the mindset I will achieve completion of a task one step at a time.

***WEIGHT LOSS

Oh, how I punish myself with New Year’s Resolutions. This year, for the 57th year in a row, I have decided to get fit, lose the fat shaped like an inflated inner tube around my abdomen, and not be afraid to take my shirt off in public this summer. Yeah, right. I can say that I am a warehouse of facts on nutrition, genetics, exercise, supplements, self-analysis and articles on losing the fat and getting ripped like the professionals. I still have self-image issues despite all of this knowledge.

***Nonjudgment

Many books, seminars, workshops, and meditations concentrate on the power of forgiveness. Even I have taught numerous workshops and written about forgiveness. Forgiveness allows us to let go of resentments and negative thinking that will eventually make us sick. The notion is that we have to forgive everyone who has harmed us, including ourselves. I have come to the realization that philosophy only scratches the surface and needs deeper analysis.

***PRACTICING NON-VIOLENCE

I had an experience with another driver in Atlanta, Ga. The driver had tailgated me for miles, and then passed me on the right of a four lane local road and cut me off at an intersection. I blared my horn at him to let him know how much I did not appreciate his aggressive driving. He got out of his car and started screaming at me and I actually thought I might have to defend myself. The traffic light turned green and he got back in his car and drove off at a dangerously high speed.
