You
could feel moody or irritable today and in need of some time alone.
Perhaps you are overwhelmed with work or feeling stressed by personal
issues. If you have been keeping a hectic schedule for some time, the
pressure could be catching up to you. If you can slip away for some
needed solitude, you can transform your mood and be more optimistic.
Focusing on activities that occupy your mind could be helpful, like
reading a book, watching a humorous movie, or working out a jigsaw
puzzle. You might also consider donating time to a worthy charity
today. This could allow you to focus on something outside of your own
concerns. it is especially good to focus on causes that hold a special
place in your heart.

By placing our focus away from our cares, we can release our
preoccupation with our struggles and develop a more positive outlook.
Because we tend to create more of what we focus on in life, it can
greatly benefit us to mentally let go of our problems. If we can turn
our focus toward external activities or helping other people, we will
feel more lighthearted and positive. We also can free ourselves of our
worries for a while. This mind-set can help us to develop a wider
perspective for looking at our problems so that solutions may become
apparent. By turning your focus outward today, you can develop a calm,
positive attitude.
