This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of connecting to your true self (today and every day).
COMMENT BY MARIE: Being authentic, being yourself, living from Love... All of these are actually the same. And how do we know that we are doing it? We feel at peace inside. We may even find a small quiet smile on our lips. We just feel like all is well with us. We are in the flow of our inner being. Pull back from the distractions of life, pull back from the mental chatter, and seek the quiet still voice within. It is your true self. The article from which today's Daily is taken suggests a breathing practice to help you connect more easily with your True Self.

The focus for today is:
It is impossible to disconnect from my true self
because it is my essence and always there -- it is who I am.
Today's inspiration was written by Patrick Marando:
Technically, it is impossible to disconnect from our true self — it is our essence and always there. In other words, we cannot escape our river because it is who we are. What happens is we pinch ourselves off from the flow of our true self and our inherent wisdom.
We usually create this disconnection with our thinking patterns and beliefs which then in turn motivate our action. The more we connect to our true self, the less we have to practice connecting to that part of us, because we are living life more from the point of our true self and less from only our conditioned or raw self.
A lot of the time, particularly when we are not lost in our thoughts and emotions, the connection to our true self occurs spontaneously without any effort required. Usually when we are in the flow with something or hit our groove, we are living in the moment and from our true self.
