About One Foot In Front Of The Other: Daily Affirmations
Product Description Recovery—whether from addictive or compulsive behaviors, codependency, childhood trauma, dysfunction, or loss—is not an event to be conquered, but an ongoing process of healing and self-discovery. It requires patience, perseverance, and self-awareness. Putting one foot in front of the other, moment-by-moment and day-by-day, builds courage, self-esteem, and resilience. A key component of staying on the right path is guidance from those who have walked it before. One Foot in Front of the Other gives readers a hand to hold as they face the challenges of living and provides a wellspring of knowledge from which to draw inspiration, and hope. Nationally renowned trauma and recovery expert Dr. Tian Dayton gives readers all the tools they will need on their journey of recovery, just as she has for countless of her own patients. Written in first-person format, each page speaks intimately to readers, offering straightforward and user-friendly wisdom through inspired readings. This powerful little book will help readers examine their lives and recapture feelings of gratitude and positivity opening to the grace of self-renewal.

In its brief course lie all The realities and verities of existence The bliss of growth The splendor of action The glory of power― For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision But today, well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day January 1 One Foot in Front of the Other All I need to do today is to put one foot in front of the other. I can only walk this walk a step at a time. Each time I take a step, I will trust that the next will follow, along with the next, and the next, and the next.

I place my hand in the hand of my Higher Power and together we walk a path of recovery one step at a time. I embrace a community of recovering people May today there be peace within.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. ―St. Theresa's Prayer January 2 Keeping My Soul Alive Today I choose to what I need to do to keep my soul alive, to stay awake to life and to this new day with all of its potential. If I walk by this day without seeing it, I will miss what the day has to offer me.
