Welcome to a brand new year! Today we have a chance for a new beginning. Today we can discard all of those destructive, negative habits and replace them with healthy, positive ones.   

We also have a leg up on anyone who set a New Year's Resolution ... we have the goal planning process which takes those dreams and makes them reality! With attitude and habit replacement in mind, here's an excerpt from a healthy habit list once adapted by Dear Abbey, Pauline Phillips, from the original creator of Al-Anon:

• Just for today, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow.
• Just for today, I will be happy. If I fill my mind with clouds, I will chase them away with sunshine.
• Just for today, I will accept what is. I will correct those things I can correct and accept those I cannot.
• Just for today, I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort. I will not be a mental loafer.
• Just for today, I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind to those who cross my path.
• Just for today, I will do something positive to improve my health.
• Just for today, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.
