I live my retired life for today.

I live my life for today without worries of what may happen tomorrow.

The time spent with my family and friends is valuable.  I look forward to every moment of enjoyment as I go.

I am fortunate to have lived such a rewarding life. It is only right that I pay my new retired reality the attention it deserves.

Though I plan for a better tomorrow, I cannot allow my dreams and aspirations to interfere with today. I worked hard to obtain what I desired.    

It would be a shame to miss savoring the fruits of my labor.

I refuse to concern myself with past events or things yet to come. Holding grudges is a waste of energy and daydreaming takes my focus away from the wonderful life I already have. I deserve to enjoy the hours as they pass without worries or distractions.

I live every day as if it were my last. My insecurities, fears, hopes, and dreams are irrelevant to this moment. I live my life in the now and I am free from the regrets of yesterday.

Today, I enjoy each moment for what it is. I hug, kiss, and spend time with my loved ones regardless of what they may have done yesterday or may do tomorrow. Today is my day to live!

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do my dreams prevent me from enjoying my current reality?

2. Are my regrets from years past still haunting me?

3.How can I create more time to do things that I enjoy?
