InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
October 23, 2023
The focus for today is:
Relaxation opens me up to feeling more pleasure.
Today's inspiration was written by Julia Paulette Hollenbery:
Doing things with less effort is relaxing, opening up space in us to enjoy more pleasure. Discover how relaxation opens you up to feeling more pleasure.
In what ways can you simplify? How can you do your work, parenting or gym class with less pushing, striving effort? What do you find when you turn the tension level down?
What can you remove so there is more empty space to be filled with pleasure? Try decluttering at home or at work and enjoying the pleasurable effect of less is more. Try a physical detox. Try relaxing one part of your body and seeing how that affects you as a whole. Is there more pleasure?

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Pleasure: The Medicine of Sensing and Being Here Now
Written by Julia Paulette Hollenbery.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of taking time to relax and experience feelings of pleasure (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Go, go, go. Rush, rush, rush, Sometimes that seems like the summation of our life. Yet, when we speed through life, we definitely don't have time to savor the scent of nature and the pleasures of life. Starting the day slowly doing something you enjoy helps set the tone for the rest of the day. Set your meter to pleasure rather than speed and your life will take a turn for the better.
Our focus for today: Relaxation opens me up to feeling more pleasure.
