InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
We wish you a day of honoring your boundaries (today and every day).
How often do we change our behavior trying to please someone else—our partner, our mother, our child—thinking we're being kind, when really we're abandoning ourselves? It never works in the long run. Sometimes we develop headaches, tension, back aches—physical symptoms that are actually warning bells that you're not in alignment with YOU!
The focus for today is:
Being in alignment with YOU and following your integrity is your only job if you want to live a happy, satisfying life.
Today's message is inspired by Barbara Berger, author of the book: Are You Happy Now? 10 Ways to Live a Happy Life
The founders wrote that we are "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But this violation isn't just happening on the world stage—it's happening right here where we are. When we have healthy boundaries, we understand that I am me and you are you and that each of us has a right to be here and to choose and experience the consequences of all our thoughts, words and actions.
