You may find yourself feeling anxious today. Your mind may be unsettled by scattered thoughts and decisions that need to be made, which could leave you feeling pressured. Though you may be tempted to obsess over these thoughts in an effort to make sense of them, you might instead find it helpful to give your mind a rest. One effective way to quiet the mind is by consciously releasing all thoughts. If you focus on the stillness and silence within you, you will be able to tune into a deeper sense of inner peace that can help clear the anxiety from your mind today. As thoughts continue to pop into your mind, simply focus on gently letting go of them and returning your awareness to silence and stillness.

A rested mind gives us the ability to remain calm during uncertain circumstances and provides the clarity and insight to make wiser decisions. While feelings of anxiety are often caused by fear, we can make matters worse by obsessing over our anxious thoughts, creating an ongoing cycle of tension. By choosing instead to release our fearful thoughts and give our minds a rest, we free ourselves from the bonds of fear and empower ourselves with clear thinking processes that can help us devise solutions to problems and make more lucid decisions. Choosing to focus on the peaceful stillness within you today can neutralize your anxiety and restore a sense of balance again.
