THE PRESENCE OF PEOPLE


From Daily Om
Scorpio Daily Horoscope

Your own sociability can surprise you today as you observe yourself doing all you can to spend time in the company of others. You may jump at the chance to participate in a group project organized by a loved one or business associate. Or you may be inspired to take advantage of communal activities that will likely give you a chance to meet new friends. Since you may be feeling more outgoing and companionable than usual, the time you spend in the company of others can leave you feeling invigorated and happy. In fact, if you are a bit sluggish today, you may find relief from your lethargy by engaging in social activities that put you in contact with interesting people.

The presence of other people in our lives can be wonderfully energizing because we unconsciously draw energy from those whose level of liveliness is greater than our own. The concept of sympathetic resonance comes into play when we spend time among upbeat and active individuals. Whether or not we are consciously aware of the changes occurring within us, our bodies’ own energy levels naturally adjust to correspond to those of the people we spend time with socially or professionally. When we need a boost, participating in lively group events can enliven our mood and amplify our vitality, granting us the stamina we need to participate fully in the events unfolding around us in the various spheres of our lives. Your sociable demeanor will help you find the camaraderie you need to regain your vigor today

One of the most insightful comments I've ever heard came from a counselor who said, "You can only reach your own limits by yourself. It's through your connections to other people that you can *change* those limits and expand what you can do and become." (Or something like that.) As a natural introvert, I sometimes struggle to keep that in mind, but it's such good advice. Great post!
