Last week, we looked at the stories we tell ourselves. Well, it seems we didn't cover them all, because this week we have more! We look at our fears, because after all, what are fears but things we believe about ourselves or others... (a.k.a. stories we tell ourselves or others have told us).
This week we look at how our life is affected by stories... We are surrounded by stories. They live in our mind and in our heart. Some of the stories we tell ourselves, about our own self or about others, are really make-believe. We make them up by our interpretation of reality...
This week we reflect on work... on consciousness... on life... We look at these in the present and also with our vision focused towards the future. Happy Labor/Labour Day for those of you in countries that celebrate that day on the first Monday of September.
The month of August draws to a close, and September is upon us. Fall is the time of harvest, and we also are "harvesting" the consequences of our choices and our actions.The "waves" we have created will be returning to the shores of our consciousness (and our lives) to be addressed.
This week, we take a look at what is stopping us from attaining our goals and making our dreams come through and come true. Barbara Berger recommends that you Follow Your Passion and Stop Limiting Yourself. Perhaps, one way to do so is to...
This week we look at additional ways to empower ourselves. For too long we have had doubts in our own abilities, in our potential, and in our possibilities. Much of that is due to beliefs that we have adopted from the "outside world" and made our own. Read more...
This week our authors help up gain the strength and vision needed to create a life where we experience joy and fulfillment on a daily basis, rather than a constant search for that elusive butterfly called happiness.
Life is precious and sometimes in the craziness of our daily life we may forget that and neglect to appreciate all the blessings that surround us... yet they are there in every magical instance, in every sunrise and sunset, in every plant that grows, in every smile that we share, and in the sometimes minute actions that we take.
This week, we delve into taking charge of our life. The articles we share with you bring many teachers, many blessings, and many insights in various forms. We are happy to share the wisdom in these articles with you and encourage you to make the wisdom yours.
This week we start by looking within at our addictions and our feelings of shame and guilt. We then learn to recognize our importance and our magnificence through nature, meditation, and introspection. From that point, we are able to disappear the walls from our consciousness and our lives - and discover a whole new reality.
Even in the midst of the challenges of our life we are blessed with friends, with inspiration, with divine guidance, with courage, and more. This week we share stories of challenges gone through, of healing using the breath, of inspiration from our animal friends, and much more.

The new issue of InnerSelf is ready. Please scroll below and acquaint yourself with the new articles. Topics this week... spirituality, happiness, communication, control issues/patterns, courage, strength, and more.
We all encounter challenges in life. Some of them are fleeting and inconsequential, others are of a more lasting nature and have intense consequences. This week we shed light on how to traverse challenges and come out the other side with a renewed perspective and well-being.
This week we focus on going deeper in our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This understanding then guides us to take appropriate action in our personal lives as well as in the "outer" world.
This week we look at our unity with all that is, and how that affects our day-to-day experience in the choices that we make. We are reminded that "The Moment of Choice is Here -- It Is Time To Change Course" and that "The Happiness We Think Elusive Is Right Under Our Noses".
As the above image suggests, when we let go and surrender, we then taste freedom... and inner peace. The articles this week support us in this endeavor by helping us to reinvent how we play the game called life.
Each week, as the featured articles come together, the topic of the week manifests itself. This week, simply reading the titles presents the story of our journey...
