Reality check #26 (Mantra of the moment)

I am doing what I am doing. 

All those other things I could be doing - I am not doing those!

I strive to be conscious of what I am doing and why I prefer doing this rather than that; rather than anything else. 

Moment to moment while conscious, when I do something - be it brave or cowardly, disciplined or lazy, prudent or frivolous, thoughtful or careless, altruistic or self-centered, kind or mean - that action will be my choice, even if I am unaware of the unconscious factors affecting my choice.

I will take responsibility for my choices, including acts of rest, play, and self-care. 

I will strive to be the best citizen, parent, spouse, friend, and neighbor I can see to be.
