You may find yourself intensely attracted to extravagance today and highly tempted to purchase expensive material goods. Though you may attempt to justify this excessive approach to consumption by telling yourself that you simply want to surround yourself with beauty, you will likely nonetheless feel uncomfortable with the overall lavishness of your purchases if you bow to your whims. This can be an auspicious time to affirm your commitment to the simple, spiritual life you typically enjoy. To satisfy your cravings, consider allowing yourself one small indulgence that is somehow related to your ongoing efforts to live harmoniously with the earth. Your treat can serve as a potent reminder of your values while still allowing you take pleasure in worldly delights.

When we limit ourselves to a few small but regular healthy indulgences, we come to appreciate the true meaning of pampering. The luxuries that attract us capture our attention because they are relatively rare. If we allow our impulses to dictate our behavior, the little luxurious interludes we once enjoyed become commonplace, losing the bulk of their appeal. We ensure that those indulgences that add color and pleasure to our lives retain their ability to bring us joy and comfort when we do not give in to every whim that enters our minds. The treats we give ourselves remain treats and symbolize our appreciation of the fact that it is our skills and values that provide us with opportunities to splurge. Since you do not give in to your every impulse today, the indulgences you treasure will continue to bring you joy.
