InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration

April 10, 2024


The focus for today is:

I reconnect with the inner anchors that tether me to my authentic Self.

Today's inspiration was written by Kate King:

Just like a ship drops its anchor to connect with solid ground, each person has inner anchors that tether them to their authentic Self. Utilizing anchors to return to our core beliefs, values, and gifts of true Self help us remember our authenticity and true baseline. 

Our anchors are intrinsic qualities we know and trust to be genuinely supportive of our essential life experiences. Perhaps for some, engagement with nature is a supportive anchor that returns them home after drifting too far into the pressures of modern living. For others, honest communication with trusted loved ones may enable them to regain footing and remember what truly matters.

With such reminders, we become able to steer ourselves back from who we adaptively became in order to secure illusory success, social belonging, or emotional safety. Examine your own anchors and notice how often you utilize these important tools to regain presence and authenticity.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being consciously connected to your authentic Self (today and every day)

Comment from Marie:
During the day, we can be pulled this way and that way by the desires, expectations, and beliefs of others. Yet, being swayed by others can take us away from our true authentic Self. Reconnecting with the inner You before making decisions of any kind will assure that you are being authentic and true to your Self. 

Our focus for today: I reconnect with the inner anchors that tether me to my authentic Self.
