InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
February 21, 2023
The focus for today's inspiration is:
Taking responsibility for myself and my choices
is incredibly self-empowering.
When you accept responsibility for your actions, emotions, and responses, you learn to become more con?dent in your ability to handle all that life throws at you, and you become your own safety net whenever worries and doubts arise. Instead of worrying incessantly while trying to avoid problems and stuffing them inside, you deal with them.
Stress and unresolved con?ict are like little time bombs ready to explode into worry and increased anxiety. The time to defuse the bomb is as soon as you see it.
Taking responsibility for yourself and your choices is incredibly self-empowering. Your life begins anew each day. It is time for you to establish a new plan of action, to set new goals, and to take measured risks by doing things outside your comfort zone.
