Right now, your best bet is to do nothing. People hate doing nothing; we are creatures driven by ambition to achieve great things, but our bodies (aka our vessels) need a break sometimes in order to see the best results from our pursuits.

After a long period of grinding, it’s time for you to be gentle with yourself. Mental and physical gentleness will get you farther than you could ever imagine.

In today’s world of “hustle culture,” keeping your life as bustling as possible at all times may seem like the way to go. Unfortunately, our bodies were not made for that kind of thing. Instead, we were always destined to have periods of rest in between our achievements, giving us a sense of reset before we’re onto the next big thing.

These prolonged periods of pause make room for us to cultivate new ideas and goals. While you may temporarily feel stagnated, it’s for good reasons. Going on, full speed ahead, can lead to burnout–and you wouldn’t want that in the midst of all your adventures!

Listening to gentle music will keep you grounded.

We all have our favorite playlists filled with upbeat, lively dance songs. Streaming apps make it easy to keep everything in one place, and we may get sucked into one genre without even realizing it.

There is nothing wrong with listening to heavier, angstier music. Some people find these genres to be more soothing than softer, slower options. Overall, you need something calming that brings you inner peace, whatever that may mean for you. If heavy metal is your therapy jam, go right for it!

The goal here is to use music as a grounding exercise. Archangel Sandalphon is guiding you right now, and he is the Angel associated with music! He encourages you to sing along to music in order to feel his presence around you.

Be kind to yourself, and others will be kind to you, too.

People feed off each other’s energy; the way you talk to yourself will rub off on others, and they will eventually begin to talk to you the same way. If you are gentle with yourself, it will show, and others will follow suit.

Try to avoid any battles or serious conflicts at this time, instead focusing on bringing inner and outer peace to your world.
