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.

Today's inspiration was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:
     4 Ways to Build Confidence and Quiet Your Inner Critic
     Written by Briana Borten and Dr. Peter Borten.

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of activating your courage and proceeding anyway when you are facing fear and anxiety (today and every day)

Subscribe here to join me for the next installment of "InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration".

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.
