InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 20-21-22, 2024
The focus for today (and the weekend) is:
What can I do about this? How can I make this better?
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
Somewhere along our life’s journey, we may have gotten off our true path. We got caught up in “have to” and “should” and “got no choice”. We believed in fear and lack and believed that if we didn’t do it the traditional way, or the way that was expected of us by society, it wouldn’t work.
Yet… if we look at our life, we may realize that the way of the status quo...whatever that means in your life… didn’t work either. But I think all of us, even if we are not caught up completely in the rut that society has laid out for us, fall into it sometimes. And we respond either with “why me?” or “poor me” or “I can’t help it! It’s not my fault.”
Yet, on the path of self-empowerment, we must take responsibility for our life, for our actions, for our thoughts. We may not be responsible for the results themselves, as those can be out of our hands, but we are in charge of our attitude about what takes place in our life and what we will choose to do about it. We can whine and complain and let things go on as they are. (Yuk!) Or we can say, OK, what can I do about this? How can I make this better?

Presence Activism: A Profound Antidote to Climate Anxiety
by Lynne Sedgmore.In this book, author Lynne Sedgmore integrates presence, climate activism, and the alleviation of climate anxiety in an innovative and unique synthesis and new term - Presence Activism. By offering a profound solution with new perspectives, Presence Activism: A Profound Antidote to Climate Anxiety is steeped in a presence that moves activism beyond metaphors of war, enemies, and destruction, as well as the illusion of separation, into the visceral knowing of presence and interconnection, thereby making presence an important part of the way forward for current and future activism.
This book is a compendium of different perspectives and experiences of presence, as well as a powerful conceptual and thoughtful analysis of the fields of presence, climate anxiety, and climate peril.
