With one foot stepping ahead, while the other remains planted in yesterday’s experience, use this day to create your own equilibrium, both on the job and at home:

• Remove dead branches. To grow again, they must be pruned. Look at your life and determine what areas are weighing you down, keeping you from flourishing — perhaps over-commitments, an unhealthy habit or addiction, staying late at work. Take out the gardening shears… and cut them off.

• Fertilize the soil. To thrive, you need sustenance — not just nutritionally, but emotionally and mentally as well. Look for opportunities to cultivate your well-being by joining a gym, enrolling in a class, starting a book club, or volunteering. Commit to add an activity into your week that will nourish your mind and soul.

• Mow and weed. Decluttering the landscape enhances aesthetic appeal along with function. Get organized to simplify and beautify your personal surroundings. Wash your car and clean it out. Tidy your purse or backpack. Attack a closet or drawer in disarray. Ordering your physical space helps harmonize your life.
