You may feel cut off today, isolated from the important people in your life and so far removed from your duties that you are unable to concentrate. If you attempt to struggle past your feelings, you may find that your best efforts to reconnect with the vital aspects of your existence are met with resistance. Surprisingly, you can ease your sense of isolation by giving yourself over to it. Pulling away from your usual activities and obligations in order to embrace your inner self can help you regain your sense of wholeness. As you recall who you are today, you will likely find it becomes easier and easier to understand your relationship to the world around you.
In listening to the urges that tell us to shelter ourselves temporarily, we can avoid becoming burnt out by the sheer busyness of our full lives. Existence in the modern world asks so much of us, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the huge number of objectives we face each day. When we retreat into willing isolation, we can take a break from our worldly cares without feeling that we are ignoring our responsibilities. Instead, the short-term nature of our seclusion frees us to revel in the pleasures of simply being. The tranquil quietude of isolation helps us reconnect with the values that are truly important to us while allowing us to cast off those that are merely a product of our individual environments. When you treat your feelings of seclusion as a sign to retreat today, you will feel like your old self in no time at all.
