What to do when Mercury Retrograde Kicks your ass.....

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I was thinking to myself yesterday...."Man, Tara....for someone who talks about love....and who's birthday is on Valentine's Day....You're not seeming too loving....And why is it sooooo frikken hard to make a decision about anything? And wy are so many people all over the map with their decisions? Did I create this? What's up?"

Then I talked to a friend and she reminded me that Mercury was yet again in retrograde.....Ugghh.....I get it now.

What does this mean? How does this effect us? Is there anything we can do?

First.....if you've been feeling "off"....like nothing is moving....you're having a hard time making a decision....nothing really feels like a "yes".....YOU'RE NOT ALONE! So many people I've been talking to have been in the same space.

Mercury retrograde means the energy of that particular planet is moving backward (or appears to be)....which negatively effects communication, decision-making and ability to feel good or stable anywhere.

So......what can we do when this happen??

NOTHING! RIDE IT OUT! When these times come.....it is not a great time to make a decision or move forward on much. Sit still.....meditate, rest, recharge, refocus your inner energy, journal write, clean out what no longer serves you, and wait out the storm.

When we try to force or push things....if feels even more challenging and things seem to get worse.

This is a divine time to be patient and go within. Let Mercury clean up and shift what naturally is going to shift anyways and enjoy the opportunity to not have to make a decision : )

Today, I woke up feeling refreshed, more alive....it actually started to energetically lift late last night!!!! We are starting to swing forward again....hopefully more clear and ready to embrace life in all its forms and creations!

YOU ARE AMAZING & DOING SUCH AN AMAZING JOB IN THIS THING WE CALL LIFE!!!! YOU ARE WONDERFULLY EXPANSIVE & BRAVE FOR JUST BEING HERE!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!
