Our InnerSelf welcomes your inner self.
This week we take steps towards changing our perception... How we see things (and people) affects how we feel, and how we act, and even our health. Thus changing our perception, of ourselves, others, and things in general, is essential to creating a healthier and happier life for ourselves.
Whether it has to do with food and diets, goals and relationships, changing our attitude is a prerequisite to lasting change.
Please scroll down for the new articles and videos that were added to the website this week.
Wishing you enjoyable insightful reading, and of course a wonder-full, joy-full, health-full, and loving week.
