Nurturing Self
Virgo Daily Horoscope

You may feel introverted and overwhelmed with feelings of sadness or gloom today, which could cause you to seek your own private sanctuary where you can be alone. It may be beneficial to set aside your usual activities and spend time comforting and nurturing yourself. Engaging in soothing activities such as meditation, daydreaming, or reading a favorite book today could help you maintain a more positive state of mind. You could also try using creative visualization to infuse yourself with feelings of love and well-being. Simply close your eyes, and see yourself feeling loved, joyful, and at peace at all times. Allow yourself to absorb these feelings and let them soothe away any feelings of sadness. Before long, you will feel strong and optimistic and ready to return to your normal activities.

By taking time to nurture and care for ourselves, we benefit from greater emotional stability and a harmonious state of mind. Feelings of sadness and gloom can often weigh us down and make everything in our lives look gray. While these feelings are quite common, we can choose to be proactive and turn them around by devoting more time and attention to self-care. Shifting our focus back to ourselves causes us to foster more positive feelings within us. Our moods lift, we feel lighter and more carefree, and we are able to return to our activities feeling refreshed and optimistic. Nurturing yourself with loving attention today will ease your feelings of sadness and restore your positive outlook again.

How to Create Happiness
by Deepak Chopra & Sonja Lyubomirsky

Many people believe that happiness comes from success, health and great human connections. The inverse of this principle is actually the statement that is the most true: success, health and great human connections are the inevitable result of being happy. By combining the spiritual principles of happiness with the scientifically proven research behind happiness, this online course from Deepak Chopra and Sonja Lyubomirsky will offer you a more holistic approach to your lasting joy and inner peace. Successful and famous people have notoriously unhappy lives, good health can be taken for granted and even happy families can be struck down by an unexpected tragedy. And yet, why do we continue to believe the erroneous belief that success, health and relationships are all we need to make us happy? You only need to focus on the first tenet of unhappiness, which is not knowing your true identity. Once you know your true identity, all of your suffering will cease. Enlightenment is kno! wing who you truly are.
