Do You Live For Today?

It’s so easy to get caught up in life isn’t it? It’s common to have too much on your plate, to have to plan, plan, plan and live a life of busyness. Especially when you are a mom! Not only do you have to consider your own needs, wants and desires (are you?) but you have to consider that of your families and employers as well. It’s easy to worry about where the next $100 will come from to fill up your SUV with gas and worry about if your children should be vaccinated or not.

In all the rush and overload of our world, I’d just like to take today to remind you to live in today. Take a break from the what-ifs, the whys and the worry. Today, think about today. Be in the moment, be with your kids, husband or whomever your plans are with and really enjoy them.

I read this affirmation in “Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life” by Larry Winget. I read it daily.

“This day, I thankfully accept all of the good things that are coming my way. This day is full of excitement, love, energy, health and prosperity. This day, people are calling on me to be a service to them and I respond by giving my very best. This day, I think and practice health in my life, refusing to accept anything less than perfect health. This day, I accept the abundance and prosperity that is mine and willingly share it with others. This day, I focus on the moment and give no thought to the past or to the future. This day, I spend in total enjoyment of what I do. This day, I fill with loving thoughts and actions toward all other people and myself. This day, I spend in grateful appreciation of all that is mine. This day, this hour, this minute, this moment is all that I have and I choose to use it in celebration!”

This affirmation, along with my “here” bracelet from Maya C’s Very Cool Jewels, remind me to live in the moment ( I need a lot of reminding!). Are you living in your day or do you live in the past or the future? Starting now, be the mom who lives in the moment and truly enjoys her day.
