Also known as the Reiki Prayer, these 5 Reiki Principles were originally guidelines for a fulfilled life as laid out by the Meiji Emperor of Japan (1868-1912). Dr. Mikao Usui adopted them to help us be a channel for the universal life energy. (Source: Reiki Fire, by Frank Arjava Petter).
Rather than interpreting them literally according to today's world, they are guidelines. For example, we can find new ways to acknowledge and release anger and worry, and working honestly refers to practicing awareness or meditation in daily activities.
Here are a few versions that we use as affirmations.
Reiki Prayer (modified 1)
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will not anger.
Just for today, I will be thankful for my many blessings.
Just for today, I will earn my living honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to all living beings.
Just for today, I will remember my own divinity.
Reiki Prayer (modified 2)

Just for today, I am grateful.
Just for today, I will open my heart, working joyfully.
Just for today, I am kind to all creatures, all beings, especially myself.
