You may feel thwarted today because of outside resistance to your ideas and plans. Perhaps you submitted a proposal that wasn't received well, or you encountered obstacles that are preventing you from completing a special project. You could also be feeling misunderstood and unappreciated for your efforts. You might want to focus your attention on developing a more flexible mind-set. By understanding and acknowledging that you are not in control of other people and their reactions, you can turn your attention inward and give yourself the validation and encouragement you need. To decrease stress and anxiety, today might be a good day to indulge in restorative activities. You could spend time meditating and fostering a deeper sense of inner peace. You can also take a long walk to burn off some of your frustration.

By developing a flexible attitude, we can easily adapt to change and overcome obstacles. As much as we'd like circumstances to take place smoothly, it's not realistic to expect that they always will. Moment to moment, changes are taking place around and inside of us. Rather than becoming frustrated and resisting these changes, we can choose to accept them and go with the flow. We can work then with our changing circumstances rather than resist them. With practice and persistence, we can cultivate a flexible mind-set that can serve us always. Go with the flow today, and you will move past obstacles and other forms of resistance that may be blocking you from reaching your goals.
