You could find yourself daydreaming about faraway places today, which may make it more difficult for you to focus on your work. Fantasizing about the exotic might be the result of your desire to escape from the tedium of your everyday routine. Even though it can sometimes be healthy to have mental diversions, today you might want to examine the reasons why you feel the need to avoid the tasks at hand. Perhaps you could make a list of the things you have to do and the things you would rather be doing. While looking at your obligations, however, you may try thinking about ways in which you can infuse your work with greater excitement. You could, for example, consider doing your work in a different place if possible or indulging your sense of adventure by trying something new after you have finished your tasks.

Introducing changes, even small ones, into our lives helps us become more engaged in what we do. Wanting to escape from the world is a natural reaction to the established patterns in our lives. When this happens too often, however, we avoid reality and our dreams take over our thoughts. Finding some way to integrate both our desire for the new and the actuality of our lives let us remain grounded in the present but also indulge our yearning for excitement. By doing something new today, you can change many aspects of your routine to be more meaningful and mentally stimulating for you.
