InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
April 17, 2023
The focus for today's inspiration is:
What am I feeling and why am I feeling this way?
Whenever you experience emotions it is common for your mind to automatically ask two questions: What am I feeling and why am I feeling this way?
You may not be aware of these questions being asked, but if you ever struggle with your emotions then you can be sure that they are happening. Your mind attached labels to the energy generated as feelings occur, and tells stories to try to explain why they are occurring; thus these two questions slow down the natural flow of your emotions.
In my opinion, it is the second question about feelings that has the greatest impact on your emotional well-being and whether, during your daily life, you experience serenity or stress.
