InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
August 28, 2024
The focus for today is:
I have the power to challenge and
change a negative thought, always.
Today's inspiration was written by Ora Nadrich:
Just because some inner voice in your head tells you that you are unworthy, unlovable, a loser, or whatever mean “sandbox name” it wants to call you, it doesn’t mean that it’s a fact or even based in reality. You have the power to challenge and change a negative thought always, as harsh or brutal as it may be.
A thought of self-love is a thought of power. Don’t give your power away by believing any thought, whether it’s your own, or influenced by someone else, that does not completely support the best of who you are.
Be kind and loving to yourself like you would a child who needed your care and protection. You deserve the same safe keeping, and mindful attention as much as they would.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
The Danger of Believing Your Negative Thoughts
by Ora Nadrich.
Read the complete article here.
This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of being kind and loving to yourself (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: We can be our own worst enemy. If our best friend talked to us the way we talk to ourselves, he/she probably wouldn't be our best friend for long. After all, who wants to hang out with someone who is always bad-mouthing you. Yet we do! We hang out with ourselves, and we badmouth ourselves a lot inside our head. And we can't walk away from that inner voice. However, we cqn call it on its BS and tell it to stop its lies and insults.
Our focus for today: I have the power to challenge and change a negative thought, always.
