InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

March 2, 2023

The focus for today's inspiration is:

I am becoming more skilled at making new choices.

I don’t believe we ever “master” the art of learning to communicate effectively. But we do get more skilled at witnessing ourselves and making new choices.

The fastest way to create discomfort and resentment in your life is to say yes when you mean no. If someone asks you to do something, and you say yes out of a feeling of obligation, or because you don’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings, then you are not speaking your truth in that situation.

Being your true, authentic self means you can say no from a place of love rather than say yes from a place of fear.

RECOMMENDED BOOK:

Warrior Goddess Training: Become the Woman You Are Meant to Be
by HeatherAsh Amara.

It’s no secret that women today are juggling a lot. We now make up more than half the workforce in the United States and are busier than ever with partners, children, family and friends, often putting the needs of others ahead of our own. And if we feel overwhelmed by it all or fall short of perfection, many of us have learned to be our own worst critic rather than our own best friend.

In Warrior Goddess Training, bestselling author HeatherAsh Amara provides the antidote to the flawed idea that you are not enough. Direct, honest, and unapologetic, Amara will show you how to release the layers of expectations to finally see yourself for the authentic, perceptive, perfect woman you really are.
