InnerSelf Newsletter

March 20th, 2016

Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self.

Some experiences in life seem like a dark tunnel and we wonder when (or if, or how) we'll ever get through the "yucky" part and reach the bright future awaiting us. This has been that kind of week at InnerSelf... and maybe for some of you as well.

Our apologies if you've experienced any problems with the website in the past few weeks. We've been working on getting a new website server up and running as the old one is no longer sufficient for the visitor traffic. A new computer brings along its challenges for everyone involved. We're very close to smoothing out all the kinks. If you come across any broken links or have any other problems with the website, please contact us using the Contact Form (located in the This and That menu)

By the way, if you've been thinking of donating to InnerSelf, now is a perfect time to donate as our monthly expenses have gone up. You can donate on a one-time-basis, or sign up for a monthly contribution of the amount of your choice (this is our preferred choice). ? Thank you! ?

Scroll down below for the Editor's Choice articles as well as the numerous additional articles this week.

Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.

Collaborating vs. Competing: Working Together Towards Agreement

Just like Colorado aspens or giant California redwoods need each other for support and to survive, so do people. Science now substantiates what we intuitively know: It feels good to be part of a team effort. When you have a shared goal you can go to greater heights of creativity and success.

Are You Sure You're Really Feeling Anger?

So many women are still afraid of being called angry, still afraid of owning their own power, still of afraid of being called a “bitch” or not being feminine or not being spiritual. Which in reality translates into being afraid to say no to the people around them who are actually stepping on their toes!

Loss Is A Wound and Its Healing Requires Courage

Loss is a wound that creates a sea change in the way we see and experience our lives. It can’t be healed in our emotional body by applying a poultice of science, religion, or any other measurement. Grief is as individual as our face or our fingerprints.
