You may be feeling inhibited today as you find yourself feeling shy and reserved in public. Your choice to present a low profile may feel like you are holding back, but it could also just be your personality. People who are naturally expressive may not understand that others are naturally quiet, but when we know ourselves and accept ourselves for who we are, we can stand firmly in our reservedness. Intention and true confidence determine the power behind any act. There are self-assured people who are reserved and shy just as there are those who act uninhibited in public out of a desperate need for attention. When you are confident in who you are and how you choose to express yourself today, you carry a personal power that is evident regardless of your behavior.

There are also times when we let society's dictates limit our personal expression for fear of rejection. In these cases, we need to examine the reasons why we feel uncomfortable and decide if letting fear determine our course is the choice we'd like to make. When we act on our true feelings we experience freedom, and if we stifle them we will feel limited. It may be worth breaking out into song in the middle of a public place or wearing white shoes after Labor Day just to see how it feels. By accepting ourselves for who we are today and following our true desires for expression, we allow ourselves to feel free and confident regardless of public opinion.
