InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
February 5, 2024
The focus for today is:
“What’s this feeling about and what do I need to do with it?”
Today's inspiration was written by Stacee L. Reicherzer PhD: rye-hett-zer
It feels good to heal from damaging messages that you are “less than.” As this happens, you strengthen the voice that says, “You are so much better than this mess you were handed.”
You become better at recognizing your boundaries and gain the ability to say “No.” You stop ignoring emotional pain and instead ask, “What’s this feeling about and what do I need to do with it?”
The rules of fear begin to weaken, little by little, and you recognize that an oppressive world that harms, persecutes, and punishes does not take your self-worth with it.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Releasing the Stranglehold of the Internal Oppressor

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being in touch with your feelings (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Feelings, just like pain in the body, are messages. They are trying to tell us something, and we are the only ones who really can access the message. Once we do so, we can heal from hurt, disappointment, etc.
Our focus for today:“What’s this feeling about and what do I need to do with it?”
