You may find yourself drawn to activities that provide you with plenty of opportunities to think quietly today. An introspective mood can further heighten the appeal of solitary pursuits, as you likely want nothing more than to delve into the sea of your memories to discover what lies beneath the patterns that shape your life. Thoughts of childhood and your young adulthood can capture your attention today, prompting you to expend the majority of your free time and energy reflecting on your past. If you look backward thoughtfully, you will likely feel more comfortable actively confronting that which has been long buried in your heart and mind.

Our reflections of an earlier time in our lives are most useful when we zero in on those issues that have gone long unresolved so that we can take whatever steps necessary to divest ourselves of lingering baggage. If we concentrate only of those elements of childhood and young adulthood that we feel contributed to our development in a positive way, we inadvertently deprive ourselves of opportunities to grow in our individuality. When we instead look at those events that left us scarred and the feelings we have not yet let go of, we can banish that which is not serving us on some level of being. Investigating all aspects of our development ensures that we do not avoid that which is impacting us even years later. Your open-mindedness will serve you well today as you consider how your past has impacted your present.
