InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
May 19, 2023
The focus for today (and the weekend) is:
When facing fear and anxiety, I activate my courage and proceed anyway.
We all experience varying degrees of fear and discomfort, but anytime we proceed anyway, we're activating our courage.
Life is full of ways to boost your courage: Choosing what's right over what's easy; taking responsibility rather than blaming others; persisting when things get hard; accepting people who you dislike or disagree with; and so on.
Try to breathe into your lower belly, exhaling for as long as possible, to manage feelings of anxiety whenever courage is needed.

Comments from Marie: My mother used to say that my first words were "I can do it!". While she was surely joking, perhaps we all need to affirm, when facing challenging or new situations, "I can do it!" and then proceed from there. That is courage in action.
Your focus for today (and the weekend): When facing fear and anxiety, I activate my courage and proceed anyway.
