Cancer Horoscope September 20, 2019 You may be feeling introverted today as you turn within for reflection. Though you might normally seek a way to be alone with your thoughts, you may be so focused that even among people you seem to be in another world. Being somewhat preoccupied could make you appear to be a shy, retiring individual, whether this is the case or not. It can be challenging to examine your inner world in the presence of other people because of the level of distraction and the likelihood of interruption. You might lose your train of thought and be unable to trace it again before something else comes along to pull your attention away. Today by seeking time alone, you get the space you need for inner reflection and will not need to behave as if you are disconnected from the world around you. You may not need as much time as you might imagine. Perhaps stolen moments during coffee breaks or lunch can offer the solitude you need. Or life may give you a chance to be alone in a waiting room or other unexpected place so that you have some peace to listen to your thoughts. You could keep yourself present by writing down the ideas that are vying for your attention and tucking them away for later examination. By working with what the universe sends your way, you are likely to find the time and space you need for inward reflection today. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Kim Schneiderman, LCSW Have you ever noticed that the same type of person keeps showing up in your life and pushing all of your buttons? Why do these individuals and situations keep appearing in the storyline of your life? Is it just to senselessly aggravate you? If you answered "yes," you may feel like a victim, and that probably doesn't feel very good. When we feel like a victim, we feel a heavy sense of powerless that, if gone unchecked, can lead to depression, health issues, and low self-esteem. But what if there was another way to look at challenging people and situations that left you feeling empowered, and perhaps even a little inspired? The good news is that you can reframe such tensions as opportunities to open your heart, expand your awareness, strengthen your emotional muscles, take constructive action, and deepen your appreciation for the mystery of life. In this 10-week course, Kim Schneiderman, LCSW, author of "Step Out of Your Story: Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform Your Life," presents a series of research-based writing exercises that can help you reframe adversity as a "character development workout," a custom-made, emotional journey designed to help you build strengths while further honing areas within yourself that haven't been fully developed. Using perspective-bending writing exercises, you will tap into the voice of your omniscient narrator to find an elevated, compassionate perspective on your emotionally-charged storyline. This and other writing techniques, some cued with guided meditation, will help you transform self-defeating stories into soul narratives, leaving you feeling inspired and empowered regardless of circumstances.
