A sense of reservation can color your thoughts and actions today, causing you to feel uncomfortable when others try to engage with you. A pressing need for privacy can come over you suddenly, interrupting your day by distracting you from your regular routine. Yet there is a good chance that both your withdrawn demeanor and your desire to rest and relax is indicative of a very real need to regroup. If you can, try taking some time out of your day to pamper yourself, even if your busy agenda allows you nothing more than a stroll around the block. A little time spent alone today can be the balm that soothes the chaotic quietude unfolding in your soul.

The pressures of modern life are more than bearable when we are careful to provide ourselves with plenty of time to relax and rejuvenate when formulating our schedules. Though we likely are responsible for many matters, the quality of our free time plays a large role in our ability to sustain a positive outlook. Each time we take a break from the disorder that is an inescapable part of being human, we can recover from the rigors of being alive. Additionally, our inner selves can once again exert themselves in our general experience, reestablishing themselves as guides and protectors. Privacy allows us to achieve a relaxed state in a relatively short period of time because we are not distracted from our efforts to unwind. The reservations distressing you today will disappear once you have taken the time to recover and restore yourself.
