To Thine Own Self Be True
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. —Mark Twain It
is hard for many of us to learn to admit the wrongs we do. We have
followed lifestyles that led us away from recognizing our true feelings.
Remnants of this blindness continue into our recovery. In this quiet
time we can deepen and nourish a relationship with ourselves. Facing our
disapproval and admitting it lead us to comfort and self-respect. Right
now we can ask ourselves, “What messages do I receive from myself? What
is my Higher Power telling me? Do I sense some gut feeling? Am I true
to my relationships with loved ones? Have I been open to the feelings of
my spouse? Of my friends? Of my boss? Do I owe anyone an apology which I
can promptly make?”Some of us indulge in worry, fear, and anger
beyond a useful or meaningful point. What can we do about these
excesses of feeling? First, we admit them to ourselves and to others.
Then, we trust our Higher Power for the outcome, and they will fall
away.Today, I will nourish a relationship with myself by facing my own disapproval and growing toward greater comfort. From
