InnerSelf Magazine -- June 20th, 2004

InnerSelf Magazine -- June 20th, 2004 InnerSelf Magazine  June 20th, 2004      "I used to say: we teach that which we most need to learn. Now I say: we teach that which we most need to remember." -- Janis Amatuzio     NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES Welcome to the June 20th, 2004 edition of InnerSelf Magazine. This week we look at some of the commonly-held myths and misconceptions about Attaining Life Balance. Once we acknowledge these myths, we are well on our way to experiencing a more balanced life. Of course, we must first make some choices -- first we must Decide To Be Happy and also to seek assistance when Dealing with Depression. Another important part of creating our own reality is to ask ourselves a serious question: Do You Know What You Want? Once we make our choices and look inside and answer that question, then we can discover The Miracle of Peacefulness. With love and best wishes               from our InnerSelf to yours...  ******************************************************* Shop at the "NEW & EXPANDED" InnerSelf Marketplace GREAT GIFTS for yourself and your loved ones!!!

Some of the first things that often need to be overcome when seeking to engage a higher degree of balance in one's life are the all-too commonly-held myths and misconceptions about Life Balance and how to achieve it. The purpose of this chapter is to assist you to navigate through and around those myths. Here are four of the most prevalent ones in our society... Decide To Be Happy by Mary Jesse. Think of happiness as a goal. You achieve that goal just as you would any other, through hard work and determination. It may come naturally for you without a great deal of effort or struggle, or it may be quite challenging. Just as healthy habits can become second nature, so, too, can happy habits. You must start somewhere and move forward from there. It gets easier over time and the small successes feel wonderful. Dealing with Depression by Mark Schwartz. Nearly all of us feel a little blue or a little down every now and then. It happens. Occasional temporary feelings of sadness are a natural part of life. However if you frequently feel this way, or if the feelings are excessive, you may be suffering from depression. According to the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health), approximately 9.5 % of the population or nearly 19 million adults in the U.S suffer from some form of depression. Depression can be devastating. Yet it doesn't have to be this way. Depression is treatable! Do You Know What You Want? by Norman Monath. A knowledge of basic psychology can be extremely useful in giving us insights into our psyches so that we can learn our true needs. Anne Miller, a friend of mine, was a mother of five children when she started studying psychology on her own. From this she learned that she wanted to become a lawyer, and did so. Today she is a full partner in a very successful law firm that specializes in criminal law, and her friends continue to be amazed at her accomplishment. The Miracle of Peacefulness by Lewis Mehl-Madrona M.D., Ph.D. The people who consult me are often desperately scared. An illness threatens the length and quality of their lives. They want to be well. They want to be cured. They want a miracle. Unfortunately, miracles cannot be guaranteed or produced on demand. What is more certain is our ability to cultivate a sense of peacefulness and meaning even in the face of illness.   THIS ISSUE'S COLUMNS: HOROSCOPE (weekly): by Eliza Bassett.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say "I Love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.  A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment, for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to Love, give time to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. -- author unknown  back to top of page    Your Participation at InnerSelf.com is appreciated * A Heartfelt Thank You to all our readers who are purchasing books and other items through our store on various subject matters (i.e. relationships, health, sexuality, astrology, spirituality...) ********************************************      We thank you for caring enough for the world  to choose to make a positive difference!       For additional inspirational and uplifting articles, visit us anytime at http://www.innerself.com \n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it " b-email-label-fields="TRUE" b-email-replyto-from-field="FALSE" s-email-replyto="Subscribe" b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE" s-email-subject="Subscribe" s-builtin-fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT" s-form-fields="from send " startspan --> INNERSELF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION INNERSELF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION FORM (free subscription) (Use the same link to unsubscribe) The new issue will sent by email (at no charge).  Your email address will not be shared with any other group, business, person, or organization.
