I understand that the quality of my week is influenced by how I live the hours of my day. I will keep it simple today. I cannot solve all of the problems I am becoming aware of over night, nor do I wish to try. Awareness can hurt. It asks me to become responsible for what I now see, to stop living mindlessly and to recognize that if my life isn’t working the way I want it to, I may need to pull up my shirt sleeves and get messy, to dig my hands into the soil of my day. Awareness can empower me. I try to make all my life changes at once I may get overwhelmed and want to quit, give up, run away or self medicate. Today I will take baby steps, I’ll have a simple plan for my day and trust that today well lived will create a better tomorrow.

I will keep things simple today

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
