A New Day Begins!

Every new day is a clean, blank page full of possibilities. As I wake up in the morning, I can begin writing the script for this day in my head. I can modify it and adapt it to circumstances as I go along. To me, every new day is a day of learning. What I experience will contribute to my growth as a human being. Maybe I have been living with a problem that has become too much for me to handle. Maybe today I can think about things a bit differently, looking at them from a more positive angle, even if it seems impossible at first. I can give myself some praise and encouragement. 

I will have a plan of action for today, to make it as productive and rewarding as possible. I will include some time to relax and unwind, maybe watch a light comedy on TV to put the laughter back into my life. I will refrain from saying or doing anything that I might regret later. But if I do make mistakes, I won't blame or punish myself. Mistakes are just learning opportunities. If I stumble, I can pick myself up. If I go the wrong way, I can correct my course. I can live my life in this way, for this day only, without worrying about the future, and without feeling guilty about the past.

Enjoy your day!
