InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 4, 2024
The focus for today is:
I consciously choose to let go
of other people's negative emotions.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com:
We can get caught up in emotional situations – especially those of us who are sensitive and empathic.
We feel the emotion in an other, whether they dump it on us or not, and we become like a sponge and absorb it.
The person who dumped their anger on us feels better and we’re the ones carrying it around... unless we consciously let it go.
