Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
As human beings who resist change, we can get bogged down in our attitudes and beliefs. We can stay in our rut, just because it's easier to stay there than to get out and fly. Yet, for healing to take place - our own, our fellow humans, and the planet's - we need to learn to be flexible, to be open-minded, and even more importantly, to be open-hearted.
Staying stuck in the "same-old same-old" ways, patterns, beliefs, attitudes, etc., guarantees that we don't move forward to a better life. So, this week we bring you articles that focus on flexibility in attitudes and beliefs, and encourage us to open our hearts and our minds to a new way of being... a way that focuses on letting go of old "stuff" and instead, embrace the possibilities of a new, loving way and new reality.
Scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
Please visit our YouTube channel and subscribe. Thank you.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
