Your thoughts may be scattered today or you may have difficulty focusing on your many responsibilities. Life's normal disarray and unpredictability could affect you deeply and trigger tension. If you find you have problems concentrating, you may need to take time to center yourself before continuing on to your next tasks. This centering can be achieved by engaging in calming, solitary activities such as journaling or physical exercise. Taking a walk through your neighborhood or a jog in a local park will likely help you regain your clarity of mind while simultaneously easing the tension that your body may be harboring. If your schedule is full today, a small amount of productive physical activity, like housework or yard work, could improve your focus.

Exercise can be a boon to both the body and mind by easing tension in the physical self and dissipating stress. When you exercise, you are naturally centered as your muscles stretch and become more flexible, and your brain is bathed in rich, life-giving oxygen. The repetitive movements inherent in most exercises are emotionally soothing and allow you to get lost in your thoughts. As your body expends effort, your mind is free to wander and the resultant clarity of thought could help you work through what was causing you anxiety. Regular exercise can likewise focus your thoughts, quiet your mind, and help you maintain a more positive outlook. When you take time to exercise today, your mind will achieve a state of serene stillness.
