1. Just for today, I will be happy. Happiness is from within, it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today, I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, business, and my luck as they are and fit myself to them.
3. Just for today, I will take care of my body.
4. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind.
5. Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways; I will do someone a good turn and not get found out. I will do two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.
6. Just for today, I will be agreeable.
7. Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once.
8. Just for today, I will have a program.
9. Just for today, I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax.
10. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.
