The outcome of your expectations could make you feel uncertain today, and you could feel anxious as a result. You might notice a feeling of insecurity about your future, which could impact the way you react to your life in the present. Although concern about things yet to come can be healthy, today could be a good time to reflect upon how your current thoughts and sensations could influence your future actions. Perhaps you might take a few minutes to think about the things you will need to take care of by asking yourself what your worries and fears are. While you consider these thoughts, you can bring your attention to your body. Noticing any place where you feel tension in your body--this is where your fear about the future resides in you--and breathing into that area could help you reduce some of your anxiety.

Understanding that some of the tension we currently hold in our bodies is a reflection of our thoughts gives us a means to lessen some of our concerns about the future. Every one of our thoughts is held in our body memory. Becoming aware of this allows us to see where our ideas manifest themselves and helps us to lessen their effects. Once we are conscious about where anxiety resides in our bodies, our breath becomes a valuable tool for relaxing our bodies and, subsequently, our minds. By using your breath to release the tension in your body today, your confidence about the things to come will grow.
