Usually you may need a lot of outside stimulation, but today you may be comfortable and settled in your nest and family activities. Your mind may be restless, however, and might be creating a variety of domestic chores that you believe need attention, so you could be busy at home today with meals, cleaning, or entertaining. Busy as you may be, try to relax as you see to your tasks. If you start to feel too busy or would like a break, consider giving yourself permission to slow down or stop completely. You could sit in a favorite chair and do some reading for pleasure or enjoy a cup of mint tea while you listen to beautiful, soothing music.

When we find ourselves busy with tasks born of our mental restlessness, we can become aware of what we're doing, stop, and take time to genuinely relax. Taking a day to relax lets us recharge our energy and gives us time to become reacquainted with ourselves and the simple things in our lives that bring us joy. Feeling energized from our day of rest and joyful that we've treated ourselves with care and consideration, we can move forward in our lives with increased stamina, willingness, and excitement. Stop inventing chores and responsibilities for yourself today, and concentrate instead on relaxing and feeding your soul. By day's end, you will feel good that you've shown yourself gentle, loving attention.
