InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

presented by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com

January 27, 2023

The focus for today's inspiration is:

Giving of myself is a stress reliever and brings meaning to my life.

Our world is moving faster than ever before, constantly bombarding us with distractions. How can we remain stress-free in the face of cultural pressures to react instantly to communications and demands?

We cannot simply turn our backs on the world: being isolated and self-absorbed increases stress. Isolation is a predictor of early-onset illness.

By contrast, we know that people who give are healthier and happier and live longer. Giving of ourselves is a stress reliever that yields immediate emotional benefits, bringing meaning to our lives.
