InnerSelf's Weekend Inspiration

March 14-15-16, 2025

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a day of doing what brings you joy and satisfaction (today and every day).

We've all been trained (brainwashed) to do what we're told... or to do what society or our family or our friends expect of us. But what about what makes your heart sing? What brings us joy? Do we even know what that is?

The focus for today is:

I ask myself: What is it that
truly makes me satis­fied in life?


Today's message is inspired by Alanna Kaivalya, author of the book "The Way of the Satisfied Woman".

We determine our satisfaction. We decide what wishes and needs are most important to us. And the way we fulfill them? Well, that’s up to us, too.

It’s time to ask yourself: What is it that truly makes me satis­fied in life? Forget the conventional notions of success or following previously scripted models of how life “should” look.

What makes you the most satisfied? From what do you derive the most joy? The most pleasure? What fuels your creative spark?

The Way of the Satisfied Woman

The Way of the Satisfied Woman: Reclaiming Feminine Power
by Alanna Kaivalya.

Although women today have greater opportunity to make our own choices, build independent lives, and craft powerful careers, we all too often forge our path by following the trajectory laid out by men. By emulating what men identify as desirable goals and strategies, we deny our truest, most innate feminine qualities and desires.

The Way of the Satisfied Woman offers an alternative path for women, and for any person who cares to focus more on the feminine than the masculine. The path of the feminine is simply different — perfect in its own right yet integral and complementary to the path of the masculine. Alanna Kaivalya shows how embodying feminine energy sets us free, relaxes us, and allows us to more completely manifest the things that are most important to us.
