Daily Renewal.....A Continuation Of Sorts From Yesterday

Even if you follow a daily routine of meditation and all the self help book routines ever published, you can't expect to have perfect days every day of the year. You will have perfect days, you will have good days,you will have mediocre days, and you will have down-right awful days. Tis' is life. But this where daily renewal comes into place. The beauty of daily renewal is this. No matter, how yesterday went, you have the opportunity to improve on it and better yourself today.

Renewing yourself everyday is a philosophy.....an outlook on life. It is reminding yourself each day that you ARE alive and that there is so much you want to accomplish in your life. It confirms what is truly important to you. Daily renewal is a statement about how you wish your day and,ultimately,your life will unfold. It is your soul speaking to your heart, your heart translating to your mind, and your mind giving your body directions. All in all a basic expression of self love and worth. For me, I had to start with getting clean and taking responsibility for all the things in my life that went wrong that I had control over. I had to do that in order to find what it was i really wanted out of life. When i uncovered my goals it was then up to ME to remind myself every day of those goals and what i had to do to work towards them.

So, each morning when i wake up. I take a few moments to state to myself what is important to me, what i wish to accomplish and the steps i will take that day to work towards them. Some days are long term goals and some are short term goals. I keep this statement in mind throughout the day and especially reminding myself of these when events and circumstances seem to challenge my desires and energy. Then before I go to bed i review how my day went. This is always kept in a journal or sometimes even a Blog. After reviewing the day, i ask myself how could I have improved on this day? What went wrong? What went right? How can i make it different tomorrow? I compliment myself for great days. Vow to improve on days that weren't so great. Then, i put the day to rest and set myself up to renew again tomorrow.

"It's been a long, dark night
But I've been waiting for the morning
It's been a long, hard fight
But i see a brand new day a dawning
I've been looking for the sunshine
Cause I ain't seen it in so long
But everything's gonna work out...just fine
Everything's gonna be alright...that's been all wrong
Cause i can see the light of a clear blue morning
I can see the light of a brand new day
I can see the light of a clear blue morning
Everything's gonna be alright....it's gonna be ok" .......* Light Of A Clear Blue Morning: Dolly Parton*
