The hectic pace of your life may make you feel like withdrawing from the world and remaining in the comfort of your home today. If you can understand that your desire to escape from your usual routine to rest and take care of yourself is a positive response to the stress in your life, you might find it easier to set aside some quiet time for healing and reflection today. Perhaps you may want to find a place that gives you serenity, such as home, a forest path, the beach or a park, and spend some time simply breathing in the therapeutic effects that silence can bring. Letting the power of tranquility infuse your being with a soothing sense of wellness could help you cope better with the tempo of your life and might even give you the means to temper it so that it is more aligned with the pace of your spirit.

Taking time out of our daily routine to be in a place that instills calm allows us to heal and recover from the pressures of our modern-day existence. When we are in a quiet place our minds become more placid, and we notice that our racing thoughts encourage us to increase the speed with which we live our lives. Slowing ourselves down, however, lets us see that our soul operates at a different rate and that tension develops when we are not paying attention to its needs. By breaking away from your everyday routine today you will uncover the peace of your spirit.
