A friend of mine forwarded me a list of things to consider that will help us to live for the day and not worry about the future. The items in the list are SO SIMPLE, yet we let minor distractions clutter our thoughts which leads to negative behaviors.
Check out the list!
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time
3. Get up on time so that you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say no to projects that won't fit into your schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more.
8. Allow extra time to get to places and to do things.
9. Pace yourself.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns.
12. Live within your budget.
13. Have backups - an extra key in your wallet, an extra house key under a rock in the garden, extra stamps.
14. Keep Mouth Shut
15. Do something for the kid in you everyday.
16. Carry an uplifting book with you and read it while you are waiting in line.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures or inspirational quotes.
