Am I stuck today? Am I feeling bound by a defect of character–do I think I have to practice the hiding that I do, or that I have to nurture some (seemingly) small emotional insobriety? Is it possible this is affecting my ability to work and be present for the people around me?

Today I will keep the gift of Steps Six and Seven at the forefront of my mind. If I’m feeling caught up in thoughts that don’t make me feel good, I will remember that there is a Power greater than myself. All I have to do is be willing to let go. I can start my day over anytime. I will take some deep breaths, let go of some of the tension in my body, and seek the guidance of my Higher Power.
