Benefits of Mini-Escapes | Capricorn Horoscope July 9, 2018 You may feel edgy and stressed by your work activities today. Perhaps you find yourself hurrying to finish a project before a deadline, or feeling burdened by a heavy workload and yearning for some time to yourself. While you may not be able to set aside all of your activities and escape your routine today, you may want to squeeze in a few minutes to rest your mind as often as you can. Simply by escaping to a calming area and releasing stressful thoughts from your mind, you will give yourself a welcome respite from the demands that are placed upon you. You may find it enjoyable to meditate quietly with a soothing mantra, or simply allow your mind to roam randomly and connect more deeply with your surroundings. A mini-escape from stressful surroundings can provide the same benefits as a longer period of relaxation. We often avoid restful activities because we believe we don't have enough time to fully enjoy them. In reality, just a few minutes spent calming our minds and relaxing our bodies can often make us feel completely rested and restored. Rather than dwelling on the quantity of the restorative activities we enjoy, we can simply be sure to make each moment count with the time we do have. Regardless of the length of time we devote to caring for ourselves, the result will be the same: a calm, serene mind, and a relaxed, stress-free body. Taking just a few minutes to soothe your mind and body can restore your inner balance today. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Jumana Sophia If you are involved in any relationship, whether romantic, parental, familial, or career, that is defined or overshadowed by repetitive patterns of negativity, it is important that you take the time to really understand and reckon with the true cost to your body and soul that adds up when you sustain these types of relationship dynamics. While occasional conflict or challenge is unavoidable (and stimulating for growth), relationships are meant to be reservoirs of support for the courageous journey you must take into your own destiny, your own growth in this lifetime. The closest relationships in your life should be secure places where you can rest your heart and gather your strength. Many do not want to admit -- or may not even realize -- that they are involved in an emotionally abusive relationship. Emotional abuse can take many forms - neglect, verbal criticism, dishonesty, betrayal, manipulation, disrespect, or cruelty. If you are enduring any of these within your relationship, it is time to look within and find the wisdom to shift the dysfunctional relationships you're in, or the courage to step away from them altogether.
