“It’s all in the mind.”

George Harrison

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: You may be worried or remorseful for valid reasons—or not. In either case, you’re more prepared emotionally when you learn to remove yourself from the chaos of unnecessary drama. Perhaps all that’s needed is a shift from the negative self talk to one of greater self-compassion and away from fear to possibility. This week, there’s a call to faith and the need to become conscious of what you allow to impact and influence you. Strengthen your boundaries, protect your health and let go of people or experiences that drain you. Release thought patterns motivated by false evidence masquerading as truth and give yourself a break to recharge. You may not realize the available options—draw on the wisdom of your life experiences to decide differently.
