Resolutions for 2024?

Thanks for sharing, @scottrl . When I got home from hospital (in pretty-bad shape at the time), instead of making annual resolutions, I set up daily reminders to pop up on my phone, repeating weekly. They're still mostly the same after almost 2 years, and I still find them helpful every time they come up.

Sunday: Acceptance means coming to terms with uncertainty, not assuming the worst. The future isn't written yet.

Monday: A new week is full of new possibilities; don't miss any of them because you're looking to the past.

Tuesday: Appreciate all the people in your life: you're never alone.

Wednesday: How you feel emotionally isn't based on what's happening; it's based on how you think about what's happening.

Thursday: It's not always about you and your illness.

Friday: Take a moment to feel sorry for yourself, then let it go.

Saturday: Focus on what you can do, not on what you can't.

That's a great list, and one that I think a lot of people could benefit from.

I have a daily mental checklist that covers a lot of those topics, plus I answer this question: "What are you grateful for today, Scott?" (And it's okay to be grateful for the same things day after day. It prevents taking things/people for granted.)

Thanks for your comment!
