InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
July 29, 2024
The focus for today is:
I apply the concept of Reduce (or Refuse)
to any negative thoughts and actions.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
Many of us have grown up with the concept of the 3 R's being the most important part of education -- the three R's being Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Now, wait a minute! Only one of those starts with an R… which got me thinking that maybe the 3 R's were something completely different.
In the environmental movement, there is a different set of 3 R's: Reduce (or Refuse), Reuse, Recycle. So, I decided to take a look and see if perhaps these "new" 3 R's might be applied to things other than "recycling garbage", things like changing our lives and the world around us…
We can refuse or reduce the amount of negative, demeaning, critical, angry words and actions we take. If we don't do the first step (reduce or refuse) then we can reuse those words and actions by making the "error" be the impetus for change. Or we can recycle that action by turning it into a positive constructive one. Sometimes, out of our "mistakes" come our greatest successes. Applying these 3 R's in your life, each and everyday, will bring success in things big and small.

RELATED BOOK: Raindrops of Love
Raindrops of Love for A Thirsty World
by Eileen Workman
A timely spiritual guide to surviving and thriving in today’s pervasive, gloomy atmosphere of alienation and fear, Raindrops of Love For a Thirsty World, lays out a path to life long self-actualization, and reconnection through a shared consciousness. These communications come at an opportune time, as we drift in a sea of anxiety and worry, deeply shaken by recent political, economic and social crises, and starved for connection due to divisiveness.
In four parts, Raindrops of Love For a Thirsty World encourages readers to undertake self-examination in a way that encourages them to fall back in love with themselves and learn to practice healthy self-discipline, self-awareness and self-love.
