This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of flexibility (today and every day).
InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 13-14-15, 2024
The focus for today (and the weekend) is:
I am learning to be more flexible with my life and
let events, and my internal guidance, show me alternatives.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
Some things we just enjoy… a walk in nature, playing with our pet, scrolling through social media, a cup of coffee, a sugary donut… And some of these things become habits if we do them regularly. And then some of them become addictions.
So, when does a habit, or a preference, become an addiction? I would say that it’s when we think we need it and can’t do without it. Or when if we don't have it, we feel like our world will end or we will be miserable.
When we learn to be more flexible with our life and let the events and our internal guidance show us alternatives, then we may discover that the way we “always did” something is not the way that is best for us now. We can then reverse our direction and go from addiction or habit to preference. And we may also find that it is no longer even a preference as we’ve grown out of it.
