If you've been preoccupied with your personal or professional obligations, today may be the day you decide you need a change. You may have been focused on business and money matters or home renovations and finishing domestic projects. Regardless, you may want to discuss or even think about your responsibilities today. Before you can relax and take a break, you may need to clear up some loose ends. If you try to rest while you still have unfinished duties, you may discover that you're unable to truly unwind and that you feel just as tense as you did while working. Consider spending an hour making phone calls, answering emails, and putting the finishing touches on your projects today before you settle down with a good book.
Clearing up loose ends before relaxing can help ensure that you can focus fully on rest and rejuvenation. When you're preoccupied with obligations that still need to be taken care of, you can't give yourself over fully to loosening up and finding peace of mind. However, when your mind is free from worry because you have no tasks looming over you, you'll be able to let go of tension and wholeheartedly enjoy your relaxation. The only thoughts you'll need to harbor will be those related to taking care of yourself and making sure you have everything you need to unwind. Nothing can get in the way of your repose when you take pains to fulfill your obligations beforehand. Tying up loose ends before you relax today may help you achieve a deeper level of relaxation.
