The push of the upcoming holiday season could mean that you are trying to get everything done in time today. Perhaps it is your sense of duty and responsibility that might make you feel that you have to complete the greater part of your tasks as soon as possible. Setting your priorities before getting down to business may make it easier for you, not only to organize your obligations but also to see the outcome of your hard work. As you start your day, you may wish to think about the things that are the most essential for you to get done. If you can, you might keep in mind that scheduling time for rest and meditation throughout the day could give you the extra energy and peace of mind to complete your chores. Arranging your day to suit all of your needs, you may find, can help things go along much more smoothly.

Organizing our tasks to best accommodate our physical, mental, and spiritual needs allows us to get things done in a healthy and nourishing way. During the times when our lives become hectic, it can be easy for us to think only about what needs to be done and the needs of other people rather than our own wellbeing. Creating the intention to work with awareness, however, will help you understand the true meaning of responsibility, for by taking care of all the basic aspects of your being first, you will be much better able to tend to your duties today.
