My Prescription for Anxiety and Worry

 Jude Bijou.  Read Time: 8 mins

We’re a society that likes to worry. Worrying is so prevalent, it almost feels socially acceptable. It's one of the less incapacitating symptoms of fear.


Blessing for Spiritual Seekers and for People Suffering from Depression

 Pierre Pradervand.  Read Time: 6 mins

There is such a need in the world today of the most tender and immense compassion and deeper, more unselfed caring and giving, and blessing is one simple and efficient way of doing it. It is also an amazing tool for learning instantaneous, unconditional forgiveness...


Keep On Keeping On When Facing the Flood of Bad News

 Rachel Hadas, Rutgers University - Newark.  Read Time: 7 mins

Allow The Fear, Transform It, Move Through It, and Understand It

 Lawrence Doochin.  Read Time: 11 mins

Fear feels crappy. There is no way around that. But most of us don't respond to our fear in a logical way. Anytime we bump up against long-held beliefs that no longer serve us and need to be released, which is what is being accelerated individually and collectively during this time...


Is It Punishment or Divine Gift?

 Joyce Vissell.  Read Time: 8 mins
Punishment or Divine Gift?
When tragedy, death of a loved one, or extreme disappointment strikes, do you ever wonder if our Divine Creator is punishing you? A lot of people feel this way...


Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

Life consists of choices... some are "good" choices, and others not so good. However every choice helps us build a foundation of wisdom gained from experience.

This weekly astrological journal is based on planetary influences, and offers perspectives and insights to assist you in making the best use of current energies. This column is not intended as prediction. Your own experience will be more specifically defined by transits to your personal chart.



SNEAK PEEK:
This week we continue our new concept for InnerSelf and a new format for the Daily Inspiration. Each week I will write a short article for Monday's Daily Inspiration. I will then add to that "theme of the week" article, on each day of that week. The "new episode" each day will be written both as an addition to the article, and as the Daily Inspiration for that day. The completed article will be included in the next week's InnerSelf Magazine edition. This is a bit of an experiment, so we may adjust the concept as we go along.

And of course, we welcome your comments and suggestions using the Contact Us link in the "This and That" drop-down menu (or if you are an InnerSelf subscriber and receiving this via email, by replying to this email). If you are not a Daily Inspiration subscriber, see the link on any InnerSelf.com page to subscribe to the Daily Inspiration, and receive a bit of inspiration each day from InnerSelf publisher, Marie T. Russell.



THE ADDITIONAL ARTICLES ON THE INNERSELF HOMEPAGE
are grouped by category and rotate randomly from the 17,000+ articles we have online. And since the Universe is in charge, you will still find exactly what you need to read at any particular time by going to the home page, at InnerSelf.com.


THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you who contacted us with your comments in the past month (and to those of you who will send comments and suggestions in the future). 

Wishing you a wonder-full week with joy, love, and appreciation for yourself and for others and for the planet itself. May your actions be guided by love and insights.


with love and gratitude,

Marie
