Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
Today, maybe take a little time for yourself and think about what you’ve been doing for the past week, month, or year. However long it’s been since you took a self inventory. From time to time you should just drop out for a bit if you can, and clear up all the clutter in your head. Everything you experience is a chance to learn, about life, about others, about yourself.
Thing is, we don’t always have time to learn everything we can at the particular moment it’s happening, and some new thing pushes it to the back where your memories and emotions build up into a huge backlog that gums up the works.
Life is a “figure it out as you go” type of thing, but usually you are just thinking on the fly and using duct tape and safety pins to get you through whatever particular thing is happening to you at the time. Then the next thing hits you and you’re on to patching new holes to keep your ship afloat.
So when you can, take some time to just sit and think about what you’ve been through, and what you’re dealing with now. Glean any insight out of your experiences. It is a much clearer picture when you take it all in as a whole rather than trying to make life decisions as turmoil is all around you. You can study your actions, and see if what you have been doing has been effective, or helpful, or gotten you anywhere. You might be startled to see that you’ve been doing the same thing over and over, and getting the same lousy results.
You might also see that things aren’t as bad as you thought, and you might discover that the thing you fear has already happened over and over again and you were so busy worrying and keeping your head above water that you never noticed that it really has no power over you anymore.
You might discover that someone in your life isn’t really that important or good for you and you might also come to find that the person you have been taking for granted is really the best thing you have right now.
You can take stock and see what you’ve been neglecting and what you have been wasting precious time and energy on. You can figure out how to be a better person, to others, and to yourself.
You can look at your habits and expenditures, and realize that some of the things you have been doing aren’t really bring you pleasure, you are just so used to doing them that you never stopped to think about whether they fulfill you anymore. You can cut out expenses for things you don’t bother with but never cancelled your subscriptions or changed your cable or phone services.
Most importantly, you can take the time to finally face all those nagging little questions you have. Resolve the shit that has been chirping away at you in the back of your mind. Categorize them, organize them, look them up and down and in the eye and settle it. Once it’s settled, put it away and clear some space, because the new crap never stops coming in.
Your mind has to be free and not weighed down by the past and by worries that have been there for so long that they have metastasized into something that you can’t even recognize anymore. If your mind is free of all that old clutter it is able to guide you better, help you see things more clearly, help you be there for yourself and the people that need you.
Life is about letting shit go, pure and simple. You can’t be happy or productive or healthy if you are dwelling on things whose time has come and gone. Reliving the past is a fool’s game. The moment is gone, and it’s never coming back, so sit down, look directly at it and make your peace with it. Then file it away and move on, because the world hasn’t ever stopped turning to wait for you. If you don’t put your things away, you will spend you life tripping over them and banging into them in the dark. Then one day you will wake up to find that all your life has passed you by and you’re left with nothing but a head full of distorted and painful memories, and who you really are is lost amongst them, trying to find their way out.
