Surround Yourself With Love
Loving Presence

by Madisyn Taylor

One of the easiest and nicest gifts you can give to yourself is surrounding yourself with loving and kind people whenever possible.


In our everyday life we are surrounded by a variety of people. Some of the people we deal with on a daily basis are a joy to be with, and their loving presence nurtures and encourages us. Others may have the opposite effect, draining us of our energy, making us feel tired and exhausted. Our well-being can be easily influenced by those around us, and if we can keep this in mind, we will have greater insights into the quality of our social interactions and their energetic effect on us.

Once we think more deeply about the people we interact with, it becomes easier for us to work toward filling our lives with people who help us cultivate healthy and positive relationships. Even though it might not always seem like we have much control over who we are with, we do. The power to step back from toxicity lies within us. All we have to do is take a few moments to reflect on how another person makes you feel. Assessing the people we spend the most time with allows us to see if they add something constructive to, or subtract from, our lives. Should a friend sap our strength, for example, we can simply set the intention to tell them how we feel or simply spend less time with them. We will find that the moment we are honest with ourselves about our own feelings, the more candid we can be with others about how they make us feel. While this may involve some drastic changes to our social life it can bring about a personal transformation that will truly empower us, since ! the decision to live our truth will infuse our lives with greater happiness.

When we surround ourselves with positive people, we clear away the negativity that exists around us and create more room to welcome nurturing energy. Doing this not only enriches our lives but also envelopes us in a supportive and healing space that fosters greater growth, understanding, and love of ourselves as well as those we care about.

    Lighthearted Competition
    Cancer Daily Horoscope

    You may feel competitive and outgoing today and want to seek lively interaction with friends. You may feel drawn toward athletic games or intellectual debates as a way to channel your competitive spirit. While your mood can encourage stimulating social interaction with others, you may also wish to focus on keeping a lighthearted attitude. If you can approach all discussions and activities with a focus on fun, you will be better able to enjoy your experiences instead of placing too much importance on the outcome. You may find it helpful to engage in a period of meditation today, and envision yourself interacting with others in a spirit of fun and camaraderie. This will lift your mood and help you remain focused on the enjoyment of your interactions.

    By tempering our competitiveness with a focus on fun and relaxation, we can ensure that our interactions with others are fun and productive. Our competitive nature can often cause us to become overzealous in our desire to win, which could result in hurt feelings and conflicts. If we instead choose to see competition as an opportunity to engage in lively interaction with others, we will gain more enjoyment from our activities. Our positive attitude will also inspire others to focus more on fun and camaraderie, and our interactions with others will become much more productive and meaningful. By choosing a lighthearted attitude in your competitive activities today, you can create an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment that will benefit everyone.

    To Others And To Ourselves

    To Others And To Ourselves
    Obligations

    by Madisyn Taylor

    When we schedule too much in our lives trying to meet our obligations, we only end up draining our energy.


    We all encounter obligations in life, from spending time with family and friends to being present at important functions in the lives of the people who form our community. Many times, the obligations are actually fun and fulfilling, and we want to be there. At the same time, we all sometimes experience resistance to meeting these obligations, especially when they pile up all at once and we begin to feel exhausted, longing for nothing so much as a quiet evening at home. At times like these, we may want to say no but feel too guilty at the idea of not being there. Still, our primary obligation is to take care of ourselves, and if saying no to someone else is what we have to do, then we do not need to feel bad about it.

    There is a skill to balancing our obligations, and it starts with simply becoming aware of our schedule. We may notice that three invitations have arisen in one weekend, and we know that we will pay energetically if we attempt to fulfill all three. At this point, we can take the time to weigh the repercussions of not going to each event, considering how we will feel if we miss it and how our absence might affect other people. Most of the time, it will be clear which obligation we can most easily let go and which one we simply can't miss. Sometimes we have to miss something really important to us, and that can be painful for everyone concerned. At times like this, reaching out with a phone call, a thoughtful card, or a gift lets people know that you are there in spirit and that your absence is by no means a result of you not caring.

    Meeting our obligations to others is an important part of being human and not one to take lightly. At the same time, we cannot meet every obligation without neglecting our primary duty to take care of ourselves. We can navigate this quandary by being conscious of what we choose to do and not do and by finding concrete ways to extend our caring when we are not able to be there in person.
