This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of feeding your positive emotions (today and every day).
Comment from Marie: Just like in a garden, what we feed grows. If we feed anger, fear, doubt, criticism, then that's what shows up more frequently and strongly in our life. So, we can instead choose to feed our positive emotions... joy, love, laughter, enjoyment, appreciation, etc. etc. Not only will we feel better emotionally, but our physical health will also improve.
InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
November 6, 2024
The focus for today is:
I feed my positive emotions
as they require love and care to grow.
Today's inspiration was written by Mantak Chia and Anna Margolina, PhD.:
It is impossible to eliminate all negative emotions. In fact, it would be very unwise. Biologically and evolutionarily, painful and unpleasant feelings are chemical communications from our body to the brain that tell the brain to pay close attention.
However, because negative emotions have been so important for our survival, they tend to outweigh positive emotions, and they also grow much faster. Taoists advise maintaining balance by clearing negative emotions daily.
In the Taoist tradition, negative emotions are comparable to weeds in the garden that do not need help to grow, while positive and virtuous emotions are like flowers that require love and care to grow.
