You may feel like taking more control in your family or business affairs, which may make your ideas seem a little more imposing today. Even if you feel that your ideas are better, you might want to examine why you need to be in control. Exploring the underlying feelings you have about being in control might help you to find that it is your fear of the unknown or lack of trust in others that makes you feel more authoritative. Perhaps you can use your breath to see how limiting the natural rhythm of things can actually make things more difficult. Since your breath is constant and natural, you might try holding it. While holding your breath, you might observe the thoughts or emotions you have. As you let your breath return to normal, see how much more peaceful and even your breathing and feelings become.

Our need to control things is often the result of our fear of the organic nature of life. Being in control lets us feel as if we can take care of everything ourselves – it makes us falsely feel more secure in our own abilities and keeps us from trusting the natural process of things. If we relax our need to be in charge, however, we become less afraid of change and begin to realize that life evolves despite our best efforts to manage it. By letting go today, you will open yourself to the wonders that the natural flow of life has to offer you.
