Quote from the Big Book "Into Action"

   "When we retire at night, we constructively
review our day.  Were we resentful, selfish,
dishonest or afraid?  Do we owe an apology?...But
we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse
or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our
usefulness to others.  After making our review we
ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective
measures should be taken.
     "On awakening let us think about the twenty-four
hours ahead.  We consider our plans for the day.
Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking,
especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity,
dishonest or self-seeking motives.  Under these
conditions we can employ our mental faculties with
assurance, for after all God gave us brains to use.
Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher
plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives."
