Heavy fatigue can weigh you down today, preventing you from approaching your duties with your usual enthusiasm. You may feel drained because you recently overexerted yourself while working or playing, yet you likely feel that your obligations are too important to put aside. There is a chance that you will continue to feel worn out, however, unless you allow yourself to spend at least a part of your day engaging in quiet, peaceful pursuits. Consider that you will likely be a far more efficient worker, friend, caregiver, and overseer once you have rested and refreshed yourself. If your agenda prevents you from taking the day off today, try to schedule some downtime this evening.

We prepare our bodies and minds for the next round of activity when we are willing to spend time resting and relaxing after we have exerted ourselves in challenging pursuits. Though the sense of accomplishment we feel upon completing one or more of our goals can tempt us to continue moving forward at our previous demanding and vigorous pace, we can actually harm ourselves physically and emotionally by doing so. When we rest, we rejuvenate ourselves naturally, refilling the stores of stamina that enabled us to come as far as we have. A few quiet hours spent engaging in peaceful and easy activities will prepare us for the many domestic and professional challenges yet to come. You will cease to feel drained and worn out today once you have allowed yourself adequate time to recover from your exertions.
