Subdued energy levels may make you want to hide out at home to relax and unwind. The thought of making any effort -- such as household chores -- may seem a bit overwhelming. Your retiring attitude means that you would prefer to stay in your most comfortable clothes to move slowly throughout your home doing whatever feels most relaxing. These times are important as they are your body's message to you that it needs to recharge. Listening to the wisdom of your body today, you allow your subdued energy to direct you to do what feels best.

Our homes are our havens from the fast-moving world outside of our doors. Like a turtle retreating into its shell, we also need time to pull in our energy and not come out until we feel ready. Within our personal space, we have the freedom to simply be, without explanation or justification. We may want to surround ourselves with items that soothe and inspire us, or that spark memories of wonderful times in our lives so far. Whether your idea of unwinding is a long bath, curling up with a book, or letting a movie take you away to another world, do what feels deliciously indulgent. Revel in the comfort of your inner sanctum and let it work its magic upon your tired body, recharging, renewing, and reenergizing until you have the energy to come out of your shell and face the world again. Hiding from the world to nurture yourself is a gift you give yourself today.
