FOREWORD Do you feel stuck in the past? Do you repeatedly replay events that have already happened? Or do you find yourself projecting into the future, anticipating what hasn't yet happened--and may not. Preoccupation with remembering the past and projecting the future can keep you from living in the present. The ability to live "in the moment" is one of the most important elements of life. It sounds simple; it is difficult to do. One-day-at-a-time Therapy helps you to focus on today, to let go of painful memories of your past and your fears of the future. It encourages you to see yourself as a child, happy and loved and in control of your own life. It affirms that God is very close to you--and that God is now!
What stayed with me after reading One Day at a Time Therapy is its quiet insistence that healing begins by returning attention to the present instead of remaining trapped between regret and anticipation. Rather than treating this as a simple motivational idea, the book continually explores how replaying the past and fearing the future can gradually pull people away from the life they are living today.
I appreciated the way the book blends therapeutic reflection with spiritual encouragement. The repeated invitation to see oneself as loved, valued, and capable gives the practical message a deeper emotional foundation, while the concise format keeps each section focused on a single idea instead of overwhelming the reader. The emphasis on God's presence in the present moment ties the psychological and spiritual themes together naturally.
This book will especially resonate with readers who appreciate faith based personal growth and reflective self help. What remained with me most is the reminder that peace is often found not by solving every uncertainty but by learning how to fully inhabit today.
