I choose to practice contentment today, acceptance of who I am, what I
have and where I’m at. It is possible to
want to be someone else, have what someone else possesses, or be at a different
point in my life; however, I only increase distress and dissatisfaction when I
compare myself to others. This tends to
serve no purpose. Occasionally, I am
motivated to make necessary changes as I observe what works for someone else or
admire the way someone handles something.
There are moments I long for the past, but this only leads to sadness
and depression, so I will bless the past and release it. Other moments I long for the future, but this
only increases my anxiety and stress, so I let go of it and trust my life is
unfolding as it should.
Throughout this day I will mark with awareness and gratitude
moments of satisfaction and contentment.
Recognizing the gifts I have, the people who accept and love me, the
work that challenges and inspires me, the beauty of nature and the
opportunities to enjoy life I experience, a body that serves me well, a mind
that is curious and open, and a heart that cares. How satisfying it is to be today.
