The strain of your workplace or domestic duties can cause you to feel tense and overwhelmed today. Whether you harbor this stress in your physical or mental selves, you may find that your productivity is adversely affected by it. Should you have difficulty addressing your obligations, take some time to relax before resuming your tasks. The more time you afford yourself to rest, the less likely it is that events and annoyances long past will have the power to interfere with your ability to concentrate. This can be a wonderful time to treat yourself to some refreshing bodywork or a session of guided meditation led by an individual you trust. As the strain you feel melts away today, you'll likely regain your drive and your peace of mind.

When we relax and divest ourselves of lingering tensions, we enable ourselves to access the mental and physical energy that fuels our will to realize our dreams. Stress can be highly distracting, stealthily draining our vitality and eating away at our confidence levels until we no longer feel capable of accomplishing our aims. In letting go of our attachment to past irritations and stressors, we are free to concentrate on taking care of ourselves and addressing the issues of the present. We needn't waste time or vigor musing upon what we cannot change. The world is awash with possibilities because our outlook is uniformly optimistic and pragmatic. As you allow yourself to let go of the pressure and strain you feel today, your stress will be replaced by a mood of self-motivated assurance.
