(this week’s flash sale will be ending tomorrow.)
Life wants to happen for you in favorable ways, so let this be a day for you to focus on getting into alignment with everything that you wish to experience, whether your goal is to create something meaningful, or you just want to enjoy your day without feeling overwhelmed by life around you. This means that you have to make an effort to leave the discordant feelings behind, because if they’re not helping you understand yourself in a new way, then they are creating burdens that you don’t have to carry. So you have to target your fears, your doubts, your uncertainties. You have to key in on those bad habits of yours that are good at robbing you of your focus and motivation. And when you find yourself preparing to cope with outcomes that do not please you because you’ve gotten so used to going without your desires being satisfied? Pull back and adjust your approach to the moment before you, because those are signs that your energy isn’t where it needs to be, and your energy influences more than what you can embrace around you and within you. With that in mind, if you’re feeling the need to reset, then start with your willingness to focus on the little things. Your intuitive nudges matter. The subtleties that cross your mind are important. Your faith is relevant, and your gratitude is critical. It’s easy to get stuck in your feelings, and even easier to believe that you’ll need a miracle in order to free yourself from that stagnancy and malaise that likes to show up during times of uncertainty. But you are the only miracle that you need right now, and if you’re willing to choose a new direction, then it will come together for you. Will you be able to turn your frustration into peace and joy in an instant? Probably not, but if you stay committed to that peace and joy, then those feelings will find you in response.
It’s Venus day, so give some extra love to yourself, and some extra care to the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that you wish to embrace today. Reflect on the week that you’ve had, and where you stand now. When you consider all that you’ve done, where do you want to go from here? Does today feel like a day for rest? For work? For indulgence and introspection? For creativity and exploration? No matter how you feel drawn to approach the day before you, keep things simple and honest with yourself. Even if you have to show up for this day in ways that you don’t want to, it will be in your best interest to show up for life one moment at a time. So, try to avoid multitasking or distracting yourself with unrelated activities that can only distort your focus. You underestimate yourself in those moments, because you don’t get to see what you are capable of accomplishing whenever you give your undivided attention to the task at hand. You don’t get to see the different ways that your energy can work for you. And you don’t get to experience the favorable outcomes that would find you, because again, your energy influences more than what you can see. More than what you can touch. More than what you can directly control. So, resist the urge to escape the necessary activities that deserve your undivided attention. You may think that you’re setting yourself up for a boring day, but your willingness to lock in will bring you progress and success, and not just in ways that you can see.
