one day - one moment - at a time

I have decided that I absolutely need a "one day at a time" mindset if I am going to succeed long-term.

If I think, "I am doing a 92 day juice-feast/feat/gorge," then the whole weight of that 92 days will weigh down my mind every single day, and it will feel like I am carrying an entire mountain on my shoulders. Discouraging thoughts will then come, like...

"Are you insane? You can't make it 92 days. This is crazy. That's too long!!!!"

Then it become very, very hard to make it through just one day!

So instead:

I am on a one day juice feasting/binging/gorging journey. I am only doing this for one day! I am committed to staying in this moment. And s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g this moment out into another, and into another, completing one whole day.

Yes, my intention is to stretch all of these moments, all of these days, into a stretch of 92 of them, but TODAY, I am juicing for TODAY, and FOR THIS MOMENT ONLY!
