You may be feeling nervous about personal matters today, and your anxiety could leave you dwelling on your troubles. Instead of allowing worry to fill your thoughts, you can focus on the positive possibilities. Depending on the nature of the personal matter, this may be easier said than done. Sometimes something affects our hearts so deeply that we can do nothing but feel our feelings. If that is the case, we must give ourselves permission to do so. Whether we need to mourn or just take time away from the normal course of our lives, we need to follow our instincts to allow us to heal. Today you can do your best to shift your focus from worry without denying your feelings.

We know that we create from our thoughts, so we need to keep our thoughts on the positive. In doing so, we lend our energy to the creation of those possibilities rather than creating what we fear. If that is too difficult, as it sometimes can be, we need to find a way to shut off those thoughts of fear and put ourselves in a place of silence. We can meditate to merely connect to the energy of the universe or exercise to focus on repetitive motions. We can step out into nature to focus our thoughts on life's constant parade or even watch television or a movie to shift from our stories -- fictional or not -- to those of others. By shifting your thoughts away from your troubles today, you can find peace.
