Anxiety Over Expectations
Libra Daily Horoscope
A feeling of uncertainty could cloud your mood today, tingeing your expectations with anxiety. You may find yourself struggling between high hopes and doubtfulness. Remembering that you create both your experience and your reality with your thoughts may help you decide to banish all doubts. Keep your focus on the positive and move toward it with confidence. By doing this you focus all of your energy on only one outcome, feeding it with positivity while starving your worries. It is more fun to spend your time and energy enjoying hope than it is to wallow in worry anyway, so let yourself enjoy the possibilities today.

Sometimes we need to balance our expectations with trust in the workings of the universe. We know that the universe supports our thoughts and that it works to harmonize and balance everything for the greatest good. So while we keep our thoughts positive to give the universe direction to create form from energy, we also leave room for the universe’s wisdom. We must trust that there is a reason if things don’t look exactly as we’d hoped. Perhaps it is a matter of timing or of refining our thoughts, but it all works to the good. Remembering this helps us go with the flow of energy in our lives rather than fight against it, which makes life a much more pleasant journey. Take a deep breath and blow away the clouds of anxiety today to let your positive outlook shine like the sun on everything around you.


I am grateful today for the above reading.

I am grateful for some patience I have with myself in terms of processing feelings and coming to conclusions before I am ready, or all the facts are in. I am grateful I can "reason things out with another person". And that I know my thinking can be flawed. I am grateful I am getting better at accepting myself as I really am.

I am grateful I can, with help, understand that today is just today- wonderful and painful as it might be, and it is not a gigantic neon indicator of The Rest Of My Life.

I am grateful that at 4am this morning when I woke up feeling very anxious, I practiced what I know works and felt what I needed to, read, meditated, and actually went back to sleep.
I am grateful for this progress- one teeny weeny step at a time- often thru broken glass, often after 20 steps back first.
Either way, my program shows me progress is mine if I work at it. The timetable is not mine. The relief and sanity is.

I am grateful to know these words are understood by you, not by everyone, but by you.
I am grateful that yesterday I was having a hard time and I did the next right things for me. Once I checked in again with me, I found the sad and lonely feelings were gone- thank you, G-d,
and I felt loved and that meant everything.

I am grateful for what I have.
And you are a part of that.
With love-

jill
