This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of remaining calm in the face of challenges (today and every day).

COMMENT BY MARIE: We all have triggers or buttons, and some people seem to consider it their job to push our buttons. But our job is to deactivate the button or get rid of it completely. A long time ago, when I complained to a friend that she was pushing my buttons, her comment was: "If you didn't have any buttons, I couldn't push them." So again, the choice and the response-ability is always ours. We do not have to react with stress or anger or other negative energies. We can, as suggested in today's Daily, "roll with the punches" (and don't punch back).

InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

December 10, 2024


The focus for today is:

I am learning to "roll with the punches" and
not take issue with events that trigger my emotions.

Today's inspiration was written by Alexandra Leclere:

 It’s a good idea to review the contents of your Internal Rule Book to prepare to be a better elder. We have a choice to become bitter; that is, horribly cantankerous if not downright mean, or better; that is, more forgiving and generous.

It seems that the key is acceptance of what is. In a sense, this is a newfound ability to not take issue with events when our Internal Rule Book triggers our emotions.

The people who live the longest generally are those who roll with the punches in life. Of course having a strong connection to your Soul and spirits helps in this process.
