Today, an introspective mood can inspire you to retreat into a private space so you can think about your existence. Whether you choose to engage in introspection meditatively or to use outside tools such as a journal to help you better understand yourself, you may be surprised at just how much was hidden just beneath your awareness. This can be the perfect time to consider questions about your future that have plagued you for some time, as it is likely that you will find insight in the patterns that defined your life in the past. If you wish to make a change today, think carefully about how you can distance yourself from the baggage that previously held you back.

While peering within is inherently challenging because we frequently encounter elements of the self we hoped never to confront, it is only through introspection that we can rediscover our true selves. All of the experiences and attitudes we have internalized over the course of our lives have contributed in some way to our development, and to discount those pieces of our history we fear is to deny a portion of ourselves. As we look bravely into our souls, however, we discover that encountering the information we wished so ardently to avoid is far less traumatic than we imagined it would be. We can then clear away the baggage that once plagued us to uncover the aspects of the self that lie buried beneath. You will learn so much about yourself today when you reflect upon your past, present, and future without allowing anxiety to come between you and insight.
