A preoccupation with serious thoughts might leave you feeling worried today. It could seem that you are affected by the workings of the world, and as a result you could be more aware of the importance of the decisions you have to make. If you find that you are proceeding with extra care today, you may consider different ways to cope with your feelings. You might want to mentally let yourself know that even though certain decisions and thoughts may seem crucial to your existence, they are only fleeting. Try to remind yourself that the gravity of what you feel will easily loose its power with time -- such thoughts can come and go with each passing moment. Allow yourself to smile when these thoughts arise, and you will find that they can lose their hold over you.

When we are engrossed in thoughts that seem serious, it is important to tell ourselves that very little in life is a crisis. Our minds have the tendency to convince us that certain thoughts are of the utmost importance and that we need to act apprehensively because of them. Once we realize that our thoughts do not reflect reality, we can more easily cope with the feelings they stimulate. We give our thoughts less power to occupy our minds, and as a result we make decisions that are based on our true intuition and reason and not caution. By reminding yourself that nothing is as critical as it seems today, you will make your life seem lighter.
