InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
September 1-2-3, 2023
The focus for today is:
I tell myself the truth about how I feel.
Today's inspiration was written by Barbara Berger:
Writing things down is a good way to practice truth telling. You can write about a specific incident or experience you've had, either something recent or something that happened in the distant past. It doesn’t matter. Just do this for your own sake. Just do this to tell your own truth. You don’t have to show this to anyone. This is just for you.
You could write about the break-up of a relationship or about an argument or a situation at work or about some misunderstanding with a family member. Try picking something very concrete and specific and write about what happened and how you experienced this situation and this person.
Writing these things down is much more revealing and liberating than we often think it will be. The important thing is to let yourself go – don't try to be calm or censor yourself or think you have to justify everything you think and feel. Just write down what you are really feeling and see what happens. And remember: if you tell yourself the truth about how you feel, it doesn’t mean you have to act on it.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Writing the Truth and Allowing the Emotions to Flow
Written by Barbara Berger.

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of telling yourself the truth about how you feel (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: When we find ourselves "in a mood" for no reason, or eating for no reason, it's usually that something is upsetting us, and we're not being honest with ourselves. In order to get back into balance and at peace with ourselves, we must acknowledge what we are feeling.
Our focus for today: I tell myself the truth about how I feel.
