You may feel a little lost today and have the sense that your life is spinning in the same old rut. You could feel stuck in unsatisfactory circumstances or have trouble making progress on any life changes you've been working on. One way to work through this mind-set is to first engage in a period of quiet meditation so you can clear your thoughts. Simply focus on quieting your mind and letting go of any negative thoughts that are clouding your perception. Then turn your attention to your life as it exists today, and see if you can determine which aspects are making you feel most dissatisfied. With this new understanding of what's not working, you will be able to decide on steps to move your life in the right direction again.

Periods of quiet meditation and introspection can give us the clarity to build more meaningful, fulfilling lives. It is common to have a feeling of dissatisfaction with our lives without understanding exactly what is getting us down. When we take the time to clear our thoughts and turn our attention inward, we automatically connect more deeply with our inner wisdom and see our situation much more clearly. This clarity of mind allows us to see opportunities for improvement and take the necessary steps to make our lives better, one day at a time. If you pause to connect more deeply with what is happening within you today, you will be able to tell what is causing your frustration and work proactively on creating a more fulfilling life.
