" Recently, I asked a guy out. The night of our date, we had fun eating Greek food and talking about music. But after that, he never called, and I was crushed. Still, as I was beating myself up for putting my heart out there, I suddenly realized I was really proud that I had taken such a risk. Taking risks (the fifth element of what I call Inner Style) builds your confidence because even if you fail, you learn you can survive. Whether you audition for a play or ask your crush out, risk-taking helps you stretch beyond your comfort zone.  For the last three months, you&amp;#039;ve been taking small steps that can lead to big changes in your life. By practicing the first five principles of Inner Style, you&amp;#039;ve become ready for the sixth and most important one: self-love. Self-love is valuing your health and taking care of your spirit (that could mean anything from choosing healthy meals to taking time to do the things you love). It&amp;#039;s staying true to yourself, even if it means sometimes disappointing others (like having to say no when a friend asks to copy your homework). It&amp;#039;s believing in and trusting the decisions you make.  This month, as you practice your flexibility, think about what kind of risk you can take that will help define and develop your own self-love. Keep up the good work, CG! And be proud of how far you&amp;#039;ve come! \u2022 warrior two to triangle \u2022 chair pose with a twist \u2022 cobra \u2022 seated twist \u2022 tree pose "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
