Each time Mercury retrograde comes around, it gives us an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and revisit information we've put aside. If we try and forge ahead, without taking this time to pause, we often hit roadblocks that stop us in our tracks. The reason is, the Universe is governed by rhythms and cycles, and during a Mercury retrograde cycle, we are called to review our lives - not start new projects. The more we harmonize ourselves with nature's cosmic events, the smoother our lives can go down here on Earth.
Mercury retrograde is about reflecting, resting, and reviewing our plans.
If we don't give ourselves rest periods every now and then, what usually happens? We get sick or we burn ourselves out. Mercury retrograde is a constant reminder for us all to stop, reflect, and rest. Even if life is hectic, even if the holiday season is upon us, guess what? The Universe doesn't care. All it wants is your dedication to peace. Your commitment to stillness. And your mindfulness in daily living.
So honor it for three weeks. Find ways where you can do less and feel more. Keep it simple and remember to remember what it is that truly brings you joy. Is it reading? is it writing? Is it painting? Stop. The dishes can wait. Go do you first. Take a breath, open the window; be present.
And that's all it takes. Little things, done with care, all throughout the day. Small moments add up to big outcomes. You can change your life with one small action taken regularly. Never forget the power of your commitment to yourself. Never forget the power of your dedication to happiness.
Mercury retrograde is a favored time for me because it's a reminder that I don't have to control everything. And in fact, things go much better when I don't. So let go. Just be. Jot down the inspirations you receive from making space, and then when Mercury turns direct apply your ideas to your world, your work, and your relationships.
