STAR TRACK
It might feel like you've been through the emotional ringer lately, but don't worry -- you're due for a break today. Everything is going to go much more smoothly than it has been, and you will benefit from the ambition of others. Let them do all the work while you supervise. Take advantage of this downtime by following up on a travel opportunity. Go and learn more about a culture that you've always been curious about. Fill today with exploration, and feed your curiosity.
When you feel like you're in too much of a hurry today, slow down! It sounds simple, but lately you have been letting yourself get caught up in the momentum of your days' activities. Like a leaf in a windstorm, you're getting tossed about and starting to feel a bit powerless over your situation. This is nonsense -- if you want things to slow down, you can slow them down. The power is in your hands. It's time for you to remind yourself that you are in control of your own life.
Why not let other people take the wheel today while you just follow along behind them? Not only is it is easier to just go with the flow, it can be a lot more interesting too! The universe will still give you the chance to initiate new ideas, plan new social outings or personal projects -you don't have to be the one in charge to get a green light on new endeavors. Don't confuse power with opportunity. If you do, you'll never get a chance to relax!
Think about a person who really taught you something valuable in your life, and bring that good memory to life in the present for a while. Remembering this person, whose encouragement helped you in the past, will help you keep a positive attitude today. You need to keep hanging in there when times get rough! Honor this person by being a positive and encouraging presence in someone else's life -- lend a hand or give a hug to someone who's feeling extra stress now.
Today you'll think that you are too busy for a long debate over issues, but you are wrong -- there is always time to learn more about things that are important to you! When you meet someone who challenges your opinions, don't just smile and pretend you agree. Ask them why they feel the way they feel -- their answer will surprise and intrigue you. That creaking noise is the sound of your mind slowly opening up to the possibility that you could be wrong.
The problems you had with some feisty coworkers are gone for now, and there is a much lighter mood at work -- it's finally time to exhale. Your emotions have been caught up in a battle that wasn't yours to fight, although the people whose defense you came to really appreciated you sticking your neck out like that. Now it's time to put your focus back where it belongs: On your work. After this brief distraction, you'll find work more rewarding than ever.
