We dread you, but we need you! Just as much as we dread you, we\u2019ve learned that you\u2019re not something to fear, but embrace. While things start spinning out of control around us, you teach us that perspective reigns supreme.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Mercury Retrograde is telling us is to move back spiritually. Focus on all the \u201cre\u2019s\u201d, re-examine and re-do to refresh. Sometimes it takes much more work than we\u2019re used to, but when we\u2019ve done the work, we move forward to a brighter day. This is the time to look at things with a clear perspective. When things go haywire in your life during Mercury retrograde, what area is it forcing you to examine? What parts in your life need intellectual, emotional, or spiritual meditation? This is the time that\u2019s all revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re here to tell you that you don\u2019t need to fear Mercury retrograde\u2014it\u2019s an opportunity for growth and clarity! Got loose ends that need to be tied up? Does the veritable closet of the mind need tidying? Here\u2019s your opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to cope with it \u2014 as with anything, really \u2014 is to just \u201cgo with the flow\u201d. When you fight Mercury retrograde, that\u2019s when life gets really ugly. Just take some time, go slowly, be careful, don\u2019t freak yourself out by expecting to be uber-productive-perfect right now. Be good to yourself and the people around you, now more than ever!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just follow our quick and simple tips to survive Mercury Retrograde!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Have you been looking at that new, shiny car glistening in the lot? Well, feel free to enjoy the view, but don\u2019t purchase any big ticket items until Mercury has gone direct.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2. Think before you speak! Communication can get wonky during this time, so make sure you\u2019re direct and deliberate with the messages you share with others to make sure things run smoothly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3. Don\u2019t take things too personally! Just as messages you may share with others can be skewed, the same goes for the messages you perceive. Get a little loose with giving people the benefit of the doubt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4. Got a salt shaker? You\u2019re going to need it. Take everything with a grain (or a light dusting) of salt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>5. Back up your data! Always, save, save, save!<\/p>\n<p>6. Don\u2019t skip that fine print. Grab a comb and sweep through it with focused diligence! Don\u2019t be fearful of signing contracts, but remember to take in all the information before signing anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>7. Time to tidy up that closet! Finish projects you started previously but never completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>8. Missing anyone? Reach out to any friends you haven\u2019t spoken to in a while and get together! This is a great time to reminisce and laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9. Be mindful of what Mercury is trying to show you. What areas need your focus and attention? There\u2019s a lot to learn during this time.<\/p>\n<p>10. Don\u2019t forget to live! Just because Mercury is retrograde, this doesn\u2019t mean you have to put your life on hold. Be mindful, be diligent, and don\u2019t lose your focus! Perspective is key.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just follow these tips and you\u2019ll make it through the next two weeks unscathed! Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercury Retrograde, you\u2019re here again and just as fierce as ever. We dread you, but we need you!
