Yes, things have been a blur lately -- but since your emotions are finally starting to slow down, your physical self should, too. Relaxation and comfort are more important than speed. Ease off the gas pedal and take the meandering road to your destination. Shortcuts will only frustrate you. Besides, following the scenic route is always more fun. There is no rush, no matter what deadlines you may be facing. You have much more time than you think.

Whether you are guilty of doing too much shopping, too much eating or too much self-indulgence, today you need to try to reign it in ... it is time to cut out excessive activity and get back to a simpler way of living (at least for now). Try ice water instead of wine ... a thrift store find instead of something right off the runway ... and go for a relaxing walk instead of an hour-long massage. All these little substitutions will make you appreciate the pampering all the more.

Today is going to be a quieter day, so don't expect too many challenges. This is a great opportunity for you to evaluate some recent accomplishments in your life; they have put you in an enviable position that carries some responsibility with it. You should plan your next step very carefully. Be honest with yourself and acknowledge your limits. It's important to not bite off more than you can chew right now. This ability to see yourself objectively is a luxury -- take advantage of it.
