You may find yourself reacting strongly when life doesn't go your way today. Resultant feelings of frustration could cause you to become compulsive about your need to be in control of the circumstances you encounter. It may be that your expectations--and not what is actually happening--are causing you to feel overwrought and tense. You can find relief by letting go of your need to be in control of everything and everyone you encounter. Taking each moment as it comes can help you enjoy the blessings that each day brings. You also are able to more easily overcome challenges when you aren't attached to how they need to turn out. Today can be a wonderful time to practice responding, rather than reacting, to life.

Letting go of negative emotions and unreasonable expectations can help you maintain your serenity. We may hold on to thoughts or feelings that no longer add value to our experiences, and this baggage can cause emotional strain and spiritual stress. It's difficult to be happy when one is mired in the past or caught up in the need for life to happen a certain way. Releasing what no longer serves you allows you to take each day as it comes. You'll be better equipped to enjoy life when you surrender to, rather than resist, it. The freedom you'll feel today when you release the emotions and thoughts that no longer serve you can help you have a more fulfilling life.
