 They say the Devil makes work for idle hands. That's a reason to keep busy. Not that there's very much choice in the matter. Your hands are full and, if you will pardon the rather unfortunate mixing of metaphors, they are also tied. You have to do what you have to do, even though you doubt your own ability to do it. But then, what else would you be doing? Soon, you will have more strength and will feel less as if you are surrounded by enemies and critics. That will make all your tasks less stressful.
Is something making you nervous? Are you feeling a little pushed, rushed, put upon and provoked? It could just be that this is precisely the kind of annoyance you need. It is all very well saying, 'I would like a quiet life.' But surely, you do not also want a dull one? Excitement requires stimulation. Often this cannot help but take the form of aggravation. Here is a real question. Do you also have a sense of hopelessness? If so, overcome this, for as long as you pursue positive action, all will be well. The planets are now gently encouraging you to become much more successful and yet relaxed at the same time.
 The universe wants you to hold your head high, open your mouth wide, speak out and stride forward to show others the way. You are already doing your best? Then keep doing it. You don't know what to do for the best? Then just do the one thing that you're quite sure can't possibly be 'for the worst'. Do it with confidence and your doubt will soon turn to justified enthusiasm.
Small children like to hear the same bedtime story, night in, night out. It makes them feel comforted and reassured. There is a small child somewhere, within us all, so this may be why, as adults, we often act out the same old dramas, time and time again. Unconsciously we are seeking security and stability. It doesn't do us much good, though, if the roles we end up playing are counter productive. A long-established routine now needs to be replaced by a new rhythm based on a new attitude and expectation.
