I subscribe to a site called DailyOm (www.dailyom.com) which delivers horoscopes each day. Yesterday's was spot on - and I read it this morning, so it didn't influence my day yesterday.

Instinctive Decision-Making
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You may find yourself feeling
disoriented and confused about making the best decisions today. Family matters, business
decisions, and personal endeavors may all make you feel overwhelmed as
you try to determine the best choices for your long-term growth. Dissolving
indecision can be a simple process if you tune into the innate wisdom that lies
within you today. In a period of quiet meditation, begin by setting aside all
fears, worries, and doubts about which decisions are right or wrong. Empty your
mind of stressful thoughts and allow yourself to rest in a haven of peace and
well-being. Then imagine turning your attention inward to the center of
yourself. See an image of your higher self, shining with brilliance and light,
coming forward to meet you. You can then ask your higher self any questions you
may have and receive the guidance you need. As we learn to tap into and trust this
higher wisdom, we begin to feel more confident about making beneficial
decisions.”
Well, I’m not sure I was able to do that as I ended up
stressing over a major work-related decision, and then doubted myself the
minute I made it, even though I'd asked my unconscious mind to give me an answer in my dreams and then I woke up thinking of a certain option, which I went with.
This
is a terrible habit of mine – doubting pretty much everything. I’m surprised I’ve
gotten as far as I have in life with such a strong inner
critic that seems to be on constant duty, making me question almost
every decision I make.
Anyway, the point is, the horoscope was so spookily
accurate – they often are from this site – and made me realise I do need to meditate more and
find inner stillness, as that is where the answers lie.
The meaning of success
I also smiled when reading Robert Holden’s quote for
today, from his perpetual flip calendar, which said: “Measure your success by
how much you smile, how much you laugh, and by how much you really enjoy
yourself.” Hmmm!!! Yesterday the wasn’t much of any of those things, despite
the few minutes of great salsa dancing. That too made me think I’ve not been very
successful at enjoying life of late, being so bogged down in ‘serious’ matters –
whicih ultimately, probably don’t matter all that much in the grand scheme of
things.
Maybe I ought to prioritise fun rather than
'productivity' as no doubt the former will lead to the latter anyway as it puts
one in a better mood, therefore more likely to feel like being creative and
productive!
