Rest. Retreat. Reflect. Relax! Today, as Mercury moves into her shadow phase, we all will be reminded that we cannot strive, struggle or fight our way to happiness. In fact, it’s often the path of surrendering, accepting, and being at peace with where we are that truly helps us tap into that sense of contentment and ease that we have all been seeking. So, today stop driving yourself, let go and surrender. Remember that surrendering is not quitting. It’s honoring yourself where you are at this moment in time, and allowing what you want to catch up with you. It’s taking time out for yourself and reflecting on what’s important. So that once the time to strive comes back around (which it will!), you will be supported with the energy, the purpose, and the guidance you need to move forward. You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Today, let go a little and just let life happen.

Just for today, I surrender to what is. I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. I trust the power that created me to protect me and guide me at all times and under all circumstances. Everything is working out for my highest good and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
