One Day At A Time In Al-Anon.. page 19 No matter what the problems are that were trying to cope with, a major source of frustration is trying to encompass too much at once. We forget that we need to deal with only one day at a time, and try to crowd too much into the waking hours of that day - or we even extend it beyond the point of weariness. We can get more out of each hour- and accomplish more if we try to cope with only as much as is possible in that one day. We find such relaxed-and-relaxing-counsel in the helpful little folder, Just for Today, which gives us among others, the following: Todays Reminder Just for today I will live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime. I will slow my pace. If I am under pressure and setting myself deadlines and worrying about tomorrow, I will stop for a few minutes and think- of just this one day and what I can do with it. For there is a time ... for every purpose and for every work. (Ecclesiastes)
