I will leave you 15 tips that can help you in the retrograde mercury that is starting now - April 1st to April 24. I really hope it is a time full of calm and important reflections for you.
1. Back up everything!
This is the number 1 rule! Make copies of document security, on outside discs or on online platforms - or both! Make sure you keep everything a million times. When Mercury is retrograde, our computers and phones are more failed to fail and suddenly, even important documents that were sure to have saved, disappear.
2. Do not be affected by small things
Yes, there are very significant small things that deserve our attention, but this is not a time to make storms in a glass of water. Relax and accept the natural result of things, without letting go down for things that go less well. If you remain calm and safe from what you are doing - and with the necessary backups! -Believe me that everything will go well.
3. Do not sign any contract
If you can, avoid signing contracts at this time. If possible, wait a week after the retrograde period. Of course, not everything can be postponed, and in such cases my advice is often reading the documents in question.
4. Read and reread documents
I had told you to read several times, but it is really important to reinforce this idea! I am not just talking about contracts, but from works for delivery or important communications to someone.
5. Ask a second opinion
If you really have to sign a contract and have read it and reread it several times, ask for a second (or third!) Opinion. Look for friends you trust or lawyers. Four eyes see better than two, especially during retrograde Mercury.
6. Do not viage without plans
This is not even the right time for poorly planned trips, as delays in flights or damage to car are common. If you have to travel, try to be organized and do not mark trips too close to important commitments to prevent them from being harmed by delays.
7. Let yourself go
In addition to retrograde mercury, it will also be eclipse height. It's a cosmic reminder to slow, relax and get carried away… even when disasters happen! Yes, they will happen, it is normal at this time and, instead of martyrifying, think about how you can work to improve the situation. Patience and understanding of yourself are even more important at these times when you should not go into stress.
8. Get ready for the unexpected
If it is mentalized that retrograde Mercury brings with it less predictable events, it will be halfway through not to be too affected. It doesn't have to be necessarily bad, just something more unusual. Be prepared and do not walk against the cosmos.
9. Slowly and well
It is the motto for this period. Take a deep breath and slow down your pace of life. During retrograde mercury, I love to join the mixture Calm To my drinks, to ensure that I can reduce stress and anxiety levels and rest well. It is essential to feel good and make good decisions.
10. Breathe
In addition to breathing unconsciously, try to breathe consciously. Stop and take a deep breath, inspiring and expiring long. When you feel more anxious or tense, try this breathing exercise: inspire counting up to two and exhale counting up to four. Repeat until you feel calmer. This is valid for every day of your life, of course! Breathe help us calm.
11. Make a detox
If there are heights where you should bet on cleaning your body, this is one of them! We must break free from all that is toxic: food, habits, people, objects - all! It was precisely to think of moments like this that I created the new Detox Kit- Reset 7 Days. Of course food is the base of the plan, because it all starts inside with what we eat, but it is a very complete kit in which it supports it to a total body and mind detox safely.
12. Get rid of everything you don't need
It comes following the previous point and is the things that you know the most, especially during retrograde Mercury. Try getting up early one day and starting to put aside everything you no longer wear: clothes, toys of your children, decoration objects, books… There are so many things that occupy unnecessary physical and mental space and disturb us the well-being . This is a perfect time to rethink all this!
13. Expect to find people from the past
Retrograde Mercury has the power to make us find or have news of people who have already been part of our lives. Therefore, be prepared for these meetings with schoolmates who have not seen a lot of time or some ex relationship. Reviewing these people is a kind of cosmic lesson, as if to wonder if you are at peace with the fact that you have them away from you.
14. Don't be negative
Cosmically, this is already a troubled period, so no longer complicate things. Think positively and make your mind on an ally. It is an unstable period, but it will make it much stronger.
15. Relaxe
When everything around us seems out of control, the best you can do is relax. Take a bath, meditate, drink a Calm Before bed, read, watch a movie… what gives you the most pleasure and brings you calm. It will be all right - I promise you!
