One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time
Stepping Stones

by Madisyn Taylor

Taking one step at a time makes life much easier to navigate rather than always looking at the big picture.


The years of our life do not arrive all at once; they greet us day by day. With the descent of each setting sun, we are able to rest our heads and let the world take care of itself for a while. We may rest assured throughout the night, knowing that the dawn will bring with it a chance to meet our lives anew, donning fresh perspectives and dream-inspired hopes. The hours that follow, before we return to sleep once more, are for us to decide how we want to live and learn, laugh and grow. Our lives are sweeter and more manageable because we must experience them this way: one day at a time.

Imagine the future stretching out before you and try to notice if you feel any tension or overwhelm at the prospect of the journey still to come. Perhaps you have recently made a lifestyle change, like beginning a new diet or quitting smoking, and the idea of continuing this healthy new behavior for years seems daunting. Maybe you have started a new job or are newly married and can feel an undercurrent of anxiety about your ability to succeed. If you can shift your focus from what may happen years down the line and return it to the day that is before you right now, you may find a measure of calm and renewed confidence in your capabilities. You may also discover an inner faith that the future will take care of itself.

The way we show up for our lives today and tomorrow has an enormous affect on who we will be and what we will be experiencing years from now. If we can remain fully engaged in the day at hand, enjoying all it has to offer and putting our energy into making the most of it, we will find that we are perfectly ready and capable to handle any future when it arrives.

DailyOM Course Spotlight

Mojo Weight Loss
by Jacqui Justice

If you are overweight and feeling sluggish, somehow you have lost your mojo along the way. Reclaim your mojo and reclaim your health and vitality! Do you struggle with weight loss, finding it difficult to stay motivated and committed to your plan? Have you gained and lost the same 10 or more lbs. more times than you care to remember? Does your happiness and self-worth depend on the numbers on the scale? If so, then it is your mindset and approach that is the real issue here - not the diet or your inability to stick to it. What I'm saying is that you are going about this the wrong way, AND it's making it MUCH harder than it has to be. A more successful approach is to use what I call the "Mojo Mindset" which taps into the power of your inner mojo to help you achieve the results you are looking for. In this comprehensive 8 week course you will receive 1 weekly lesson which includes both a written and audio visualization and affirmation, a lesson that covers one or several topics, a daily action plan in the form of a weekly homework assignment, and an abundance of hands-on, useful information that you will use for years to come.
