Tension can suffuse your mind and body today, leaving you feeling ill at ease and unpleasantly keyed up. This stress is likely the result of your overdoing it in some area of your existence. Whether you are taking on too many duties at work or exercising for long periods of time, you may find yourself becoming overwhelmed by your efforts and thus unable to fulfill certain obligations. You can calm your nerves and regain your usual vigor today by making relaxation an item on your to-do list. If you schedule time to unwind, you will be less likely to ignore the physical and emotional signals that are imploring you to take life at a slower pace.

In order to establish an atmosphere of peace in our existence, we must actively make time for serenity in the schedules we keep. It is easy to overlook our very real need for tranquility because the modern world values effort and achievement, often above all else. We can ensure that we, in our struggles to earn validation, do not push ourselves past certain limits by setting aside time in which we can rest and engage in activities that relax us. As we have given these pleasant pursuits adequate space in our personal agendas, our pleasant search for inner- and outer-world peace will not be interrupted by worry or thoughts of the more serious concerns we could otherwise be addressing. The stress affecting you will melt away today when you choose to make time for activities that make you feel serene.
