There are few skills as important to develop as acceptance.

A New Way of Being 1:53

27d ago1:53

1:53

A New Way of Being is about recognising that we are all innately enough. Most of us don’t always feel that way, but it’s an illusion largely created by identifying with the outdated voice in our heads. And so much stuff out there, including much of the so-called high performance culture, comes from a place of inadequacy. If we are not enough as we …
