InnerSelf Newsletter: May 29th, 2016
Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
Ask anyone about stress and chances are they'll tell you, "Been there, done that!" Of course we've all experienced stress. It's part of living, in one form or another. The question is not whether we experience stress, it's more about how we handle it.
This week we take a look at stress and offer ways to transform it and even use it to our benefit. Regular contributor, Nora Caron, shares her formula for living peacefully in Living a Stress-Free Life Every Day. Peter Bongiorno tells us How to Enjoy Life and Move Through Anxiety. And InnerSelf's, Marie T. Russell (um, that's me), invites us to reflect on our life by asking Are You Addicted to Your Problems?
Joyce and Barry Vissell share their recent stressful experience in Angels on the Road: Trust Me, I Have Your Back! and Sarah Love shares her always loving and joyful perspective in A Reminder Of Good Things To Come.
And of course we have numerous additional informational and insightful articles for your reading pleasure. Scroll down below to access them all.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, and loving week.

"New Attitudes...New Possibilities"
P.S. The "look" of the newsletter has changed a bit. We simplified it to make it easier for people to read it on their phones and tablets. The old format did not resize properly (because it was in frames and tables) and was awkward to read. Let us know if this works better for you (or if it still needs tweaking).

Living a Stress-Free Life Every Day
Written by Nora Caron.
Sometimes in life we come to a point where we want to leave everything behind and run away from society.

Are You Addicted to Your Problems?
Written by Marie T. Russell.
Are you addicted to your problems? That's a strange question I admit. Addicted to problems? How can you be addicted to something you don't like? Aren't people addicted to things they enjoy? Exactly! We do enjoy our problems, in a perverse kind of way.

We add articles to the website regularly. Rather than wait for the newsletter, you can visit each section according to your interests throughout the week. Each section listed below is designed as its own "mini-website".
The "Living in Harmony" section includes articles on Health & Well-Being, Home & Garden, Pets, Leisure & Creativity, Finance & Careers, and Science and Technology.
The "Personal Development" area covers Attitude Adjustments (which includes Fear, Anger, Gratitude, Forgiveness), Relationships & Parenting, Spirituality & Mindfulness (including Meditation), Intuition & Awareness (including astrology), and Happiness & Success.
"Social & Political" covers topics that affect us personally yet deal with a more "societal" or "political" sphere. This area covers Environment & Climate, Democracy, Justice, Inequality, Economy, and more. These topics are very relevant for our communal journey on Planet Earth.
