InnerSelf Daily Inspiration September 3, 2026 Essential Tips for the Journey: Release Fear and Take Care of Yourself By Bailey Gaddis Suppressing fear-induced emotions infuses life into them, often causing a manifestation of depression or unpleasant physical symptoms. Here is a plan to liberate the emotions surrounding your fears so they can have their moment and then go bother someone else. — Bailey Gaddis To ensure you're not constantly in the "trying to keep my head above water" mode, allow yourself to rest as often as possible. When you're feeling depleted, scared, or overwhelmed, and you just want to curl up in your bed — do that. Let yourself escape into sleep, or a book, or whatever your instincts are telling you to do. Moving your body is one of the best ways to reduce stress and anxiety and keep your body healthy. But my favorite thing about movement is that it causes endorphins to release. Endorphins are your body's natural pain relievers and can be up to two hundred times more powerful than morphine. This hormone blocks your brain's ability to receive messages of pain from the sensory nerves, improves your mood, and can be passed through the placenta to baby. The more you move, the more skilled your body becomes at producing and releasing endorphins, which could cause more of these pain relievers to help you out during birth. When stress, anxiety, or fear start taking over, dissolve them by focusing your attention on your breath. Envision peace, clarity, and courage flowing in with each inhalation, while fear, tension, and stress flow out with every exhalation. You emit a brightening glow with each breath, until you find yourself enveloped in healing energy. Let this energy enter every nerve and cell of your being — grounding you and filling you with a deep sense of calm.
