Sunday Morning Fix

It's Sunday morning and a good week lies ahead. One sure thing about this week is that after Saturday night it will be gone forever. But I will be glad I was here. For starters I will very quickly review last week. Just once, to determine what I should have done, what I should not have done. If there is anything I should correct, and I can correct, and I want to correct, I will. If there isn't I will forget it now and forever. Now for this week: My first conce is to enjoy each day free of stress and worry. Work will not consume me - there are more important things. I will detail my job duties and my daily life responsibilities. My needs will be simple and pleasant with nothing artificial. Periodically I'll review non-material assets: family, friends, and me. Nature belongs to me too, from the vast expanse to tiny life. I'll see fields, mountains, clouds, flowers, insects and birds. I will finish each day forgetting troubles and remembering highlights. A problem may arise and I will confidently and calmly: Gather all the facts. Describe the problem in detail. List all the possible solutions. List the advantages and disadvantages of each. Detail what to do. And follow through. If I should stray into that world of stress and worry it will be time to stop and relax. I will take easy deep breaths and think a peaceful scene, real or imaginary. Like a fresh farm field or an ocean sunset. My antidepressant is handy: Accept myself as I am and others as they are. From time to time I'll remind myself that I have so much to be thankful for.
