[i]”Continuing to take a personal inventory means that we form a habit of looking at ourselves, our actions, our attitudes, and our relationships on a regular basis.”[/i][br]

The daily inventory is a tool we can use to simplify our lives. The most complicated part of taking a regular inventory is deciding how to start. Should we write it out? What should we examine? In how much detail? And how do we know when we are finished? In no time, we've turned a simple exercise into a major project.[br]
[br]
Here's one simple approach to the daily inventory. We set aside a few minutes at the close of each day to sit quietly and check out our feelings. Is there a knot, big or small, in our gut? Do we feel comfortable about the day we just finished? What happened? What was our part in the affair? Do we owe any amends? If we could do it all over again, what would we do differently?[br]
[br]
We also want to monitor the positive aspects of our lives in our daily inventory. What has given us satisfaction today? Were we productive? Responsible? Kind? Loving? Did we give unselfishly of ourselves? Did we fully experience the love and beauty the day offered us? What did we do today that we would want to do again?[br]
[br]
Our daily inventory doesn't have to be complicated to effective. It is a very simple tool we can use to keep in daily touch with ourselves.[br]
[br]

[b]Just for today:[/b] I want to keep in touch with the way I feel in living this life I've been given. At the end of this day, I will take a brief, simple inventory.[br]
