Amidst the daily hustle and bustle, it’s easy to lose track of what drives our toil. Today, spend a moment with your fantasies. What visions do you have for your work and health? What drives your commitment to your routines? Maybe you imagine weaving more creativity into your 9 to 5 or resurrecting a long-lost wellness practice. These dreams are worth nourishing. Step one is pausing to be present with them.

Pause your notifications. Mercury is stationing retrograde and filling your DMs with mischief. Over the next few weeks, your communications are liable to get garbled, from message board missives to conversations with your cashier. So pare your words down to the essential truths. Take care not to accidentally start rumors or games of telephone. If you stick to the facts, you limit how much scrambling can occur.

Today, replenishment is the big-ticket item, so under-schedule yourself if you can. Consider which daily practices allow you to recharge your batteries and which ones tend to get in the way.

Embrace changing your mind. And take stock of what’s been uninspiring in your communication projects or daily life recently. Being honest about where you’re not operating at your full potential can be tough, but it opens the door to transformation.

Today, extend gratitude to what’s enduring and endearing — especially in your relationships with family, chosen kin, and the place you call home. Appreciating the anchors that have held you down throughout your many eras is a sweet way to strengthen them. If you feel inclined, go down memory lane by reviewing old scrapbooks or blurry cell phone pics from long ago. Life is constantly shifting, but the people, things, and spaces that ground you amid the hubbub and upheaval are irreplaceable. Root into cozy comforts.

Your calendar is calling, and it wants to chat. The topic? Whatever makes your days feel actually energizing. Over the next few weeks, protect your pockets of free time. RSVP “yes” only when you want to. And give yourself the space to daydream without constraint, get lost in a book, or ditch your map when you go out the door. Why not? You’re the only one who gets to live your life. Make the choices that fill your cup, not the ones you think will make others happy.
