has never been so cool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You are certainly busy with everyday activities requesting your full attention and energy and you are very likely to reach a moment when you feel you have nothing more to give and to share.<br \/>\nYou have just two alternatives in front of you:<br \/>\na. accept <strong>your inner source is getting dry<\/strong> or has already gone dry and you need to go to someone else\u2019s source to get water and inspiration.<br \/>\nYou basically redefine your role to that of a very professional and good executor but nothing more.<br \/>\nb. <strong>you rebel against this dryness<\/strong>, stop your run and meditate on what you can do about it: you need to clear up your mind and soul from all the obstacles and wrong turning points and <strong>let your inner force and instinct recover strength and audacity.<\/strong><br \/>\nAllow you to think out of the box and even think as if the box do not exist at all.<br \/>\nDo you find it difficult to take time and stop the daily flow of tasks?<br \/>\n<strong>Plan a \u201cnurturing adventure\u201d,<\/strong> then.<br \/>\nIt can be a couple of <strong>days off for a yoga seminar<\/strong> or for a creative writing course or even a cooking class at week ends.<br \/>\nDo not say you do not have enough time or you are not meaning to write the novel of your life or submit for the next edition of \u201cMasterchef\u201d.<br \/>\nYou are simply afraid of devoting time to you as you are feeling it is some way too frivolous and too self indulgent.<br \/>\nYet it is self indulgent and it is exactly what you need to go for: some space for yourself or as Virginia Woolf once said \u201cA room of your own\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nBach flowers and zodiac at <a
