When members of your group work at odds with one another, they may not appear to be getting anywhere.\u00a0 Take a moment to analyze the disagreement so<\/p>\n

You can seek a more proactive approach to overcome the obstacles.<\/p>\n

But don’t get worked up for nothing.\u00a0 Frantic energy will get you nowhere.<\/p>\n

Could you make an assertion and adapt your motto?<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you can find yourself competing with others.\u00a0 Even though there is a struggle, there is no clear winner.\u00a0 This is your chance!\u00a0 This may be a time to step up and prove your worth.<\/p>\n

Could you be sure to pick your battles?\u00a0 This is not a good time to argue just to prove your point.\u00a0 Rise to the challenge for the right reasons.<\/p>\n

Order can be restored. You can succeed.<\/p>\n

Finally, take a deep breath and re-examine your own path.<\/p>\n

All this competition can help you become a better version of yourself.<\/p>\n

DO THIS<\/p>\n

Grounding activities are important now:\u00a0 Yoga, meditation, labyrinth, breathing exercises, mindfulness are some you may find helpful.<\/p>\n

MEDITATION<\/p>\n

Find a quiet place for this meditation.\u00a0 If you can, find a place away from street sounds or work noises.<\/p>\n

Dim the lights a bit.\u00a0 Sit or lie comfortably.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a deep breath and hold it for a moment. Now, release this breath.\u00a0 See the tension in your body leave you now.\u00a0 Take a few deep breaths followed by releasing the breath.<\/p>\n

As you breathe out, you release tensions.\u00a0 After a few in-and-out breaths, you feel relaxed.\u00a0 Each exhale brings more relaxation and comfort.<\/p>\n

Close your eyes gently now.\u00a0 When you open them, you are standing on a path in a large park.<\/p>\n

As you walk on this path, you see the trees overhead.\u00a0 Birds sing and a soft breeze blows.\u00a0 You feel it on your arms.\u00a0 The whole place smells like summer.\u00a0 You see the shadows of the trees and bushes as you walk along.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The path leads you to a stream.\u00a0 You see a small boat on the edge of the water.\u00a0 You know this boat is for you.\u00a0 You get in the boat and untie it.\u00a0 As you do this,\u00a0 the boat gently floats down the stream.\u00a0 Sitting in your boat, you drift and float in calm waters.<\/p>\n

As you float along, you understand something:\u00a0 You can anticipate spinning and whirling pools of water.\u00a0 \u00a0You know that streams have quiet times where the water seems to drift along.\u00a0 You know that streams also have swirling times where the water spins along, bubbling.<\/p>\n

What you experience with your being is this:\u00a0 \u00a0The water has its quiet time, with drifting and floating.\u00a0 Then, there is a turbulent time with bubbling water swiftly moving along.<\/p>\n

PAUSE<\/p>\n

You bid goodbye to the stream now, knowing that you can return to it any time you wish.\u00a0 You gently move your muscles now, shifting, at your time and pace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this article. It is a seed chapter in my third Tarot Book.\u00a0 You can purchase the first 2 books on www.thurmangreco.com.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also produce a weekly show on YOUTUBE about people who live in and visit Woodstock, NY:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This YOUTUBE show has been running with weekly programming about Woodstock and its interesting residents.\u00a0 Let’s Live has been running over 15 years with an occasional intermission.\u00a0 The guests love it and I get lots of positive feedback.<\/p>\n

Thank You<\/p>\n
