The stress of the outside world may make you ill at ease which might make you feel like escaping to the comfort of your home today. While being at home can be a way to keep stress to a minimum, it is important that you don't use your desire to be away from the troubles around you to avoid situations that you need to face. Perhaps today instead of sequestering yourself away from others, you might try to find better ways of coping with the challenges life gives you. When you encounter a stressful situation, for example, consciously take deep abdominal breaths to calm you down or repeat an affirmation to yourself such as "I am peace". Such simple solutions, you may find, can not only make you feel better immediately but can also help you better cope with unpleasant circumstances in a positive way as they arise.

Learning to handle the demands of the outside world allows us to tackle any situation healthily. Since there are so many stressors in the outside world, it is often natural for us to want to get away from them by sequestering ourselves away. In the short term this may work, but in the long run, it only means that we are not really dealing with reality – instead of being proactive, we are running away from our problems. Only when you find positive and affirming ways to remind yourself that you are peace will you truly be able to effectively meet the challenges that you come up against today.
